PrintDetroit Tigers at Oakland Athletics, Aug 22, 2009 9:05 PM EDT
Armando Galarraga (6-10, 5.16) vs. 
Trevor Cahill (6-12, 4.97), 9:05 p.m. EST
The Tigers got their latest west coast road trip off to a fine start with a 3-2 win last night over the A's. Can they make it two in a row? On the road?
Pitching for Oakland, Trevor Cahill hasn't won in his past five starts. And he gives up hits. A lot of 'em. During this five-game winless streak, he's allowed 40 hits in 29.1 innings. The Tigers demolished Cahill back in May, when they faced him in Detroit. In less than three innings, he gave up seven runs. Before I get accused of jinxing this, however, I'll point out that Cahill has pitched better than his recent record indicates. In his last two appearances, he's allowed five runs in 13 innings.
Coming off a bout with the flu, Armando Galarraga pitched surprisingly well in his last start. Maybe losing 15 pounds due to a sore throat gave him some more velocity and added break on that slider. Facing the Royals, Galarraga struck out six batters in five innings. And if not for some terrible squandering by the Tigers' lineup (0-for-16 with runners in scoring position), he probably would've gotten the win.
Galarraga has faced the A's twice this year, with varying levels of success. His first start against Oakland was terrible, as he couldn't even make it out of the first inning while giving up five runs. The second time around, Galarraga issued six walks, but he held the A's to one run and two hits over 6.1 innings.
Curtis Granderson is back in the lineup, after a two-game break during which the Tigers faced two left-handed pitchers. We'll see if some time off helped clear his head at the plate.

it makes me glad i can't watch it
from what i can see in the box score, stafford has been bad (first pass an interception?) and the defense is giving up huge plays
I Like Pie
weren't the Browns shut out in their first preseason game?
Did they really think they needed to save up for the Lions?

ok, now it's pathetic
one interception, one fumble on stafford and now a fumble by one of our receivers

I never wear perfume and rarely makeup for that matter
Too much fuss and too much expense – have you ever SEEN how much that stuff is for such a tiny amount of product? A couple of those things is worth an entire book!

Oh I tell them, you'd best believe it.
Most of those scents (for men and women) make me rub my nose uncontrollably and cause my eyes to water.
they are horrible
But I have a hard time in the grocery store in the laundry detergent aisle, too – fortunately I know where the non-scented stuff I use is, so I grab it and dash out of the scented cloud before I start sneezing.

Looks like you had a pleasant day. Man, that looks awesome….just too bad it’s soooo cold there most of the year.
"Without deviation from the norm, 'progress' is not possible."
cold is relative
it was a pleasant 50-something and windy today. But yeah most out of towners were identifiable by their need for wearing coats.
Those waves were 3-4 feet probably. We had warnings about 10 footers yesterday but I didn’t go out, too rainy.

I agree with the relativity....
When I moved to Florida, there was an article in the St. Pete times when the high was supposed to drop into the 60’s, about getting one’s sweaters out. I didn’t even own a long sleeve shirt! I could handle the end of spring to the beginning of fall….but that’s it.

i'll have to move -- there's no economy up here

could have been WAY worse
that being said, can we at least make Cahill look like the pitcher his stats indicate he is? or is that being unreasonable?
Cahill will do well tonight
His stats indicate that we will make this guy look like a five-time Cy Young winner. It’s how we roll.
A 1-2-3 inning shouldn't be too much to ask for

I wonder if he even has a plan out there, or if he’s just throwing crap at the wall, hoping something sticks. Either way, it’s no fun watching him pitch.
