PrintDetroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Sep 25, 2009 8:11 PM EDT
Eddie Bonine (0-0, 5.96) vs. 
Jake Peavy (7-6, 4.05), 8:11 p.m. EST
After finishing off a sweep in Cleveland, the Tigers take on the White Sox for the next three games. Rather than play spoilers in the AL Central race, the White Sox have been enablers, getting swept by the Twins in at the Metrodome, and allowing Minnesota to keep pace in the division. Will they be as generous to the Tigers? Ozzie Guillen's crew has lost four straight games, and nine of their last 12.
Jake Peavy makes his second start for the White Sox since being activated from the disabled list. In his American League debut last Saturday versus Kansas City, Peavy allowed three runs in five innings. He struck out five Royals, and walked three. Altogether, that was good enough to pick up the win.
Peavy last faced Detroit five years ago, which almost doesn't seem worth mentioning as the Tigers look completely different now. Brandon Inge did hit a home run against him, however. And Placido Polanco went 3-for-4.
Eddie Bonine hasn't pitched in nine days, as Monday's off-day allowed the Tigers to skip his turn in the rotation. He was originally scheduled to start tomorrow night, but was bumped up to give Nate Robertson an extra day of rest. Bonine started against the White Sox back in July, pitching a spot start in a doubleheader. In that game, he allowed three runs and seven hits over six innings.
Alex Avila gets the start at catcher tonight. Aubrey Huff is the DH, and Ramon Santiago is the shortstop. Magglio Ordonez is in right field, batting third.

The cell is surprisingly full for a team out of contention.

Can you tell if a good chunk of Tigers fans made the trip over?

Just saw a guy in an 84 road parrish jersey. Thought seriously about taking it from him.

Starting Lineups
Okay, Beck has Maggs in right field on Twitter, and Clete Thomas there on his blog, so I’m not sure which is correct. Whomever the right fielder is, he’ll be batting third.

1. Curtis Granderson CF
2. Placido Polanco 2B
3. Clete Thomas RF
4. Miguel Cabrera 1B
5. Aubrey Huff DH
6. Carlos Guillen LF

8. Gerald Laird C
9. Ramon Santiago SS

that lineup....
Looks ready for eddie. Yikes.

whoa whoa whoa
Clete Thomas has a blog? I didn’t think he’d be the techinmological type

on Beck's blog
that what i get for having Jack Daniels for dinner
http://www.fromthecopa.blogspot.com
I'm seriously going to be pissed
If Dye and Rios show up this series. I’ve had them on my fantasy team and they’ve been sub .150 hitters all second half. I dropped Dye the other day and he had 2 bombs and 4 ribs. Rios had a homer yesterday. I’m slightly nervous. If Chicago’s lineup shows up to its potential, we’re doomed with Eddie on the hill. If they roll over and die like they have been then we should fine
It feels like a Dan and Jim night.
I’m hooking up the radio to my computer speakers. Now if only I could figure out how to delay the audio to match the tv screen.
I hate Gordon Beckham
But I gotta give him props for the AB music.
Outfield, "Your Love"
One of the great one hit wonders of the 80s
it's awesome that he uses it
possibly the least expected at-bat music ever.

OK
The actual HD kicked in at the top of the 2nd. Much better.
Welcome to the big leagues, Alex Avila
Peavy was nasty in that at-bat.

I would be surprised if he breaks 80

nice of Cabrera to use up more than 10% of those on his own

Robinson Tejeda is off to a good start against the Twins.
He had good stuff against us. I’m going to guess he’s not a fluke.
Big reason why KC is gonna take a step forward next year
I see them coming in third.
I'm a part-time KC fan, and honestly, we say that every year
by happydrifter on Sep 25, 2009 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions
They have to have a good offseason
Not trade their two best relievers not named Soria for cats like Jacobs and Crisp. Fail. But it looks like their pitching has some potential.
still, they're going to have a tough time
You have to like the White Sox pitching next season. I think you have to like the Tigers’ pitching still too. And the Twins seem a bit of a wild card to me with their moving outdoors. But they should remain pretty good too.
by Kurt Mensching on Sep 25, 2009 8:42 PM EDT up reply actions
I hate to say it but he did look pretty good
it was a little surprising we were THAT bad against him, but he definitely had good stuff.
Bonine's pitch speeds are just all over the place...that should help eventually
90, 78, 80, 92, 83,89, 84
Hello, folks!
Missed you bunches the last week. Nice to be home again and have my internet back.

Tigers in full squandering form. :(

stupid Twinkies
I mean, the White Sox couldn’t even hit Cuddyer on the knee so it would swell up like a balloon and he’d miss a couple weeks? They couldn’t even do THAT MUCH?

is one of the trivia answers, there are a ton of guys who hit when 20 tho
hello!
I wish I had that kind of power from waking from a nap.

for the trivia, forgot about rusty
there are three of them
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
I was lamenting that he didn't catch a pitch on the knee against the White Sox
Chicago couldn’t even do that much. Losers.
And Punto – if someone could have bonked Punto on the elbow that would also have been nice.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Punto is evil incarnate.
Well, at least touched by evil incarnate, anyway.

I wondered the same thing
But it’s game 153 of the season. I’ve built up my Rod drinking game tolerance

Verlander wants a bat.
He’ll hit Peavy then step into the batters box and wait for the next pitcher.
I applaud this plan.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
pitching duel
And I’m feeling the tenseness I always feel in a tight game.

Do you mean the Dye at-bat?
Gameday had that outside

Yeah
Appears he’s calling more of where it’s being caught than where it’s crossing

I wonder if Dye could play LF
Rod and Mario said earlier that he probably wouldn’t be in Chi next year
I'd take Dye on our club
I want Guerrero more though.
We could sign one of them to a five year contract. It would be great.
by happydrifter on Sep 25, 2009 9:23 PM EDT up reply actions
me too.
his defense is solid and his bat would probably come back some (but not all) of the way next year (he is 35 I think)
I'm talking about Dye
I don’t know much about Vlad except he thinks the whole parks is a strike zone
keep on obeying the rules of the game
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
Certainly not.
It has to be a lack of something other than effort.
by StringTheory on Sep 25, 2009 9:26 PM EDT up reply actions
maybe he figured
That the best chance he had to get something hittable was to go with the first pitch?
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
Based on the little bit I know about Grandy, I can't imagine that
His personality just would not allow that.

Interesting stat from tigerslive
Inge made Tigers’ last error, 12 games ago. Tigers tonight were trying to tie club record of 12 straight errorless games
Now I can also add
that Tigerslive of all people should not be announcing that Bonine had a no-hitter through 5
