Ricky Romero (12-7, 4.14) vs. 
Rick Porcello (12-8, 4.26), 1:05 p.m. EST
Normally, we'd be talking about the Tigers trying to salvage a win this afternoon, but since this is a four-game wraparound series, the home team still has a chance to even things up. But they'll have to break their five-game losing streak to do so.
Ricky Romero got the win in his last start, despite giving the Twins a 3-0 lead. He also allowed seven hits and three walks in less than seven innings. Facing the Tigers in his first major league start, Romero gave up two runs and seven hits over six innings. Interestingly, he hasn't lost to an AL Central team this year. He's 4-0. On the road, Romero is 4-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 11 starts.
After two outstanding starts in which he allowed three runs total, Rick Porcello tripped up in his last outing. His off-speed stuff wasn't moving very well and the Royals were able to hit the ball in the air because of that. Porcello ended up allowing four runs and seven hits in six innings. But Kid Rick has already developed into a much different pitcher than the one who faced Toronto (and gave up four runs and nine hits) in his first major league start.
It's another heavily right-handed lineup against the lefty Romero. Ryan Raburn leads off, while Curtis Granderson gets pushed down to seventh in the order. Grandy is the only left-handed hitter in the starting lineup. Marcus Thames is the designated hitter.

depending how that goes I could end up watching this instead.
I more or less curious about how Stafford is going to do.

Whoa
It’s a day game today? Totally did not realize that. Well I’ll at least get to watch the first couple of hours (oh, who needs to study). I have a meeting at 3:30 so I’ll have to leave early. But seriously, these guys need to get it TOGETHER. This is just downright depressing. Also, the White Sox pulled back into 2nd place? Where have I been?

progression isn't linear
He’ll likely do better next year than this, and will become more consistent over time. He’s got the talent, intelligence, and is willing to work and practice – long term I think he’ll be fine. Just short term it’s painful.

Will realize that they should allow anyone to watch any game they want on the computer, as if someone has the ability (transportation / financially / work schedule permitting) to see the game on television or see it live they would do that instead. Someone might have the ability to see a game on computer in their workplace but not on a television, and any sport should have the tiny thought capacity required to understand that.

Corn...
I have been cutting it off the cob prior to cooking it. Cut up some green pepper and onion, add some fresh garlic (just a little) and butter. Cook it on med/low. It’s GOOD.

We're actually getting baserunners today after scoring

question:
if the score stays the same until the 9th, will leyland put rodney in? i figure he will, but are there any thoughts?

Is there some scouting report telling the Tigers to throw breaking balls in the dirt way outside during the eighth inning against the Blue Jays?

Reverse jinx
I never turn off the game until the last out has been recorded. Mostly because of years of watching Todd Jones.
whew, glad to hear it
my brother turned off the state game yesterday and went to take a nap, woke up to me laughing maniacally into his phone
http://old-english-d.blogspot.com
my brother was at that game!
He works in the Lansing area and got his masters from MSU, but is a CMU grad. When he saw them line up for a 2-point conversion, he thought for sure they would miss it because they did once last year, and thought about leaving to beat the traffic – until they actually recovered the onside kick. :)
He was loving the end of that game.

With the low-stress inning Lyon had
and the increasing lead, I really, REALLY home to see Lyon again.

Yeah, but we want to keep him fresh for when it's a close game, right?

I have an idea
Since the Tigers score so many runs iwth two outs, just break the scoreboard so it always reads two outs and fake them out.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
yeah actually
pretty decent. one of the runs was because laird threw way too high on a steal attempt; if he was on target they would have easily gotten the guy out at second.

Make Rodney start it.

Yesterday Jason Beck's blog listed Juan Encarnacion in the Jays lineup
I knew it was wrong, but still had to look it up to make sure

That reminds me – I have to make up some brownies to use up some eggs since I will be on vacation next week and want to clear out my fridge. My first real vacation in years. :)
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I don't eat eggs
And I don’t want them to go bad – brownies and cake keep better. :)
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
learned it from my mom
Either brownies or custard pie or something. Same with needing to make banana bread when the bananas get brown and mushy. No real option other than making baked goods if you don’t want to throw food out.

Kazmir is not long for that game.
He was very lucky to get out of that with only 2 runs against. No control.
The Tigers won and I watched the game (unlike the last 5 I missed).
Does this mean I helped cause that losing streak?
…I’ma scared!
always respect a streak

Reminds me of baseball as a kid.
If something worked I kept doing it.
Thankfully my schedule is mostly clear!

Why do you think that people at the ballpark around here have actually started recognizing me by my shirt? I’m afraid to wear something different, even though I know my clothing has no effect on the game. :)

I think it's a comfort level
If you believe that you will get a better score on a test if you take your lucky pencil, then it is one less stray thought to clutter your brain. I think it’s inhibitory if it reaches OCD levels – but a few little quirks are harmless.

This Lions game may be the longest game in football history.
Pushing 3 hours and the fourth quarter has not started.
that's why I have never understood
When people refer to football as “fast-paced.” It crawls along slower than almost any other sport.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
and fantasy football and drinking
If it wasn’t for tailgating I don’t think there would be as much interest.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Agreed.
And yet they don’t even want to advertise for casinos and such during broadcasts.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Sometimes even with odds.
But it’s not for GAMBLING, it’s for “entertainment purposes” only! Just be honest about it, dorks.

Now if my other baseball team can win a few hours from now, I will be giddy. :)

Interesting tidbit from the AP game summary
“The Tigers have 150 victories since their next-door neighbors, the Lions, last won a game.”
