Detroit Tigers at Cleveland Indians, Sep 22, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Edwin Jackson (12-7, 3.37) vs. 
Aaron Laffey (7-6, 4.09), 7:05 p.m. EST
After salvaging a game in Minnesota, the Tigers' road trip continues in Cleveland. Their lead in the AL Central is 2.5 games after the Twins pounded the White Sox last night, but perhaps Detroit can create some space against an Indians team that's struggling. The Tribe went 0-for-7 on their latest road trip, and have lost 12 of 13.
Aaron Laffey has lost his last three starts, and is on a five-game winless streak. In his past two games, he's allowed 14 runs (12 earned) and 24 hits in 9.1 innings. Last time he faced the Tigers, Laffey gave up four runs (two earned) and four walks in 6.1 innings at Detroit. However, he's been good at home, compiling a 4-1 record and 2.93 ERA in seven starts.
In his previous two starts, Edwin Jackson has given up a combined 10 runs. But the Tigers think they may have figured out the root cause of his recent troubles. Jackson may have been tipping off his slider, but he and Rick Knapp have apparently worked that out of his delivery.
We'll see if it pays off against the Indians, who knocked him around for four runs and seven hits the last time he faced them. Given how many pitches they took, Cleveland may well have picked up what the Tigers finally noticed.
Let's Go Tribe has your SB Nation opposing view for this three-game series.

I don't see it happening
Knowing Mike Illitch will have the final say on that…I can’t see him bringing somebody to town with his reputation.
Bertuzzi being an exception of course….
Hmmm...
He wasn’t near as bad…don’t recall him bagging on the town he was playing in. Of course…I never really paid much attention to him before he came to Detroit when I didn’t have to…
I don't know about bagging on the town
but he definitely called the organization he played for “racist”…….that ranks up there as much worse in my book than Milton Bradley
Can he play LF?

Hey Delaware Mud (Ian)
I saw you made some moves in the BYOB Fantasy Baseball League yesterday…..is that so wise seeing you made it to the championship game by leaving your team untouched the past few weeks? You beat me last week – congrats. I was really looking forward to that t-shirt. I had you until Marmol got the save in the Sunday night game.
That's a good point
I had a good thing “working.” But just wanted to pick up some reinforcements, just in case.

Nice cojones there.
Actually, I think the angle had more to do with Raburn than the shuffling feet. Because he was in foul territory, there was no way the catcher could get it and lay the tag down without having to twist.
