Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Sep 26, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Nate Robertson (2-2, 5.13) vs. 
Freddy Garcia (2-3, 4.01), 7:05 p.m. EST
Only two games separate the Tigers and Twins in the AL Central, after Detroit had no answer for Jake Peavy last night. Meanwhile, Minnesota managed to score some runs on Robinson Tejada, which neither the Tigers, White Sox, nor Angels had been able to do.
Freddy Garcia may have lost his last start, but he's given up three runs or fewer in six straight games. And in three of those starts, he's allowed two runs or fewer. What we're trying to say is that the man is pitching well. Though he's been away from the White Sox for the past two seasons (including three starts with the Tigers last year), Garcia has a 15-5 record and 3.63 ERA versus Detroit over his career.
The Tigers really needed a win last Sunday against the Twins, and Nate Robertson made sure they got it. Robertson allowed two runs over five innings, with six strikeouts, allowing Detroit to leave Minneapolis with a three-game lead in the division. He was originally scheduled to start last night, but an off-day on Monday and a well-rested Eddie Bonine allowed the Tigers to give Robertson an extra day to recuperate. His career record against the White Sox is 6-6 with a 5.09 ERA. At U.S. Cellular Field, he's 2-2 with a 5.29 ERA in eight starts.
Detroit's lineup is virtually the same as last night, except for Gerald Laird at catcher and Adam Everett at shortstop.

Funny story
The year is 2007. I’m at a Phillies game in CBP and the vendor guy is selling Phillies team postcard sets up and down the aisles. His sales pitch: “Get your postcards here. All of your favorite Phillies. And Freddy Garcia.” Let’s hope that Freddy is on the mound tonight.
I think that's about all Maggs is got nowadays.

anyone else hear about Ozzie's comments in the pregame?
About how he owes it to the “game of baseball” to not play scrubs against the Tigers because it would affect the pennant race?
I say **** him for that. Do what is best for your team and everyone else can look after themselves.
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
probably
I just have no patience for “integrity of the game” arguments. The only thing that any player or team owes anyone is their best effort – if their team’s goals long-term are best served by playing minor leaguers near the end of the year, if it alters the pennant race, that isn’t their problem.

I don't think there is that much space for cussing on the lines
Maybe he needs a lineup card on legal-size paper so it has more room.

I don’t think laughing out loud is a sign of being offended. :)

I'm offended!
Having fun while watching baseball! If football can choke out fun from their game you’d better bet MLB will too!
sorry
But I’m a rebel like that. If I survived 2003, I will not be killed by any baseball season!
Bwahahahaha!!!

If you've survived being a Tiger fan from 1989 until this year you've seen many of the worst seasons in baseball.
The Tigers were really bad for too many years.
I'm old enough to remember 1984
AND my mom is a long-time Cubs fan, so I have inherited some immunity from bad baseball.

Funny, when the Tigers moved to the AL central I missed fighting the Jays-Orioles-Yankees and Sox.
But hating the Twins, Indians, Royals and White Sox has been nice.
my 1987 Twins hatred
Extends to all other teams in the city in other sports. Even football – and I never pay attention to football.

a client of my dad's hooked him up with tickets

And they will faceplant into the wall and bloody their nose.

Remember back when this month started EVERYONE said that all the Tigers had to do was play .500 for the month
What happened to that? The Tigers are three games above .500 for the month (two if we lose tonight).

I’d have a cheapie payroll and use the rest of the money to buy myself an island.

did he buy an island, though?
Or just spend it on something like a house with nine bathrooms (which always makes me wonder if money makes men incontinent, since they can no longer go that far without having to pee).
"For myself I am an optimist - it does not seem to be much use being anything else." -- Winston S. Churchill
If you drink the recommended eight glasses of water a day
Nine bathrooms is almost a necessity
by happydrifter on Sep 26, 2009 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions
you can get it from food, too
Besides, a guy can pee anywhere. It made me very jealous when I was camping – guys didn’t have to worry as much about getting mosquito bites on the buttocks, and they should realize how lucky they are that peeing outside is so easy for them.

You would look scrappier

why do you think I kept yelling at that guy to keep quiet?

Is Beckham one of the seemingly hundreds of Michigan natives that the White Sox have?

How the Tigers have 4 DPs

Good news
Polanco is Type A status as of right now… more draft picks if he leaves after we offer him arbitration.

Silver lining
As a fan, I love Polanco. If I’m running the team, I’m not giving him anything more than 2 years on a contract…
Not even doing that
Offer him arb. If he accepts, we get him back. If not, we have Scott Sizemore.
And as we all know, I <3 Scott Sizemore

Yeah I remember that.
It was a double. I also remember him hitting a ball into the middle of the 3rd deck in that stadium. It must’ve been 874 feet.

Nice swing, Aubrey.
I like when it’s obvious the hitter decided before the pitch he was going to swing.
