Detroit Tigers at Chicago White Sox, Sep 27, 2009 2:05 PM EDT
Edwin Jackson (13-7, 3.25) vs. 
Daniel Hudson (0-1, 3.38), 2:05 p.m. EST
After last night's amazing, improbable 12-5 win (and comeback from a 5-0 deficit), the Tigers go for the series win over the White Sox. Every win is obviously crucial right now, as the Twins have no intention of letting the AL Central slip away. But might the White Sox be a little irritable following Ozzie Guillen's post-game rant?
Daniel Hudson makes his second major league start for the White Sox, subbing for the injured Gavin Floyd. In his debut, Hudson gave up three runs (one earned) to the Twins, but his lineup couldn't give him any run support. Here's a scouting report from Sox Machine on Hudson. He mostly gets by with a fastball-slider combination (topping out in the low-90s), with a change-up mixed in.
Did Edwin Jackson get his groove back on Tuesday versus the Indians? Jackson pitched seven shutout innings, and presumably stopped tipping his slider. But mostly, he was successful because he kept the ball down and eventually stopped falling behind hitters. Jackson hasn't earned a decision in two starts against the White Sox this season, but compiled a 3.75 ERA in those games.
Lineup-wise, the only notable change is Clete Thomas in right field. Magglio Ordonez has the day off.

Santiago at shortstop, batting ninth
I was going by the Yahoo! boxscore, which has Everett at shortstop. But everyone else – including Jason Beck – has Ramon Santiago, so I guess he’s getting the start.

A slightly off-topic question
You’d be the person to ask about this… it’s a yes-or-no question that popped up last night in conversation with a friend. If you take Einstein’s gravitational tensor, (a.) does flat space mean that the matrix is diagonal? And, (b.) are those off-diagonal elements there to account the bending of spacetime by matter?
by frisbeepilot on Sep 27, 2009 2:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's beyond anything I've studied so far.
by StringTheory on Sep 27, 2009 2:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Far enough to know what’s meant by diagonal and non-diagonal matrices, but not far enough to be familiar with space-time equations.

Rather than watching football
the White Sox should have been either standing alone (lost in stoicism) or sobbing in a huddled mass on the floor. I think that’s what Ozzie was saying, but it’s hard to tell.
by happydrifter on Sep 27, 2009 3:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
a huddled sobbing mass would worry me more
But I’m not Ozzie.

My wife just came in and asked what I was doing
Told her “Watching two baseball games, a football game, playing Euchre and on the Bless you boys forum.”
She nodded slowly and backed out of my office…

true
An award for defense – but unless a guy hits enough, he won’t get mentioned. The people who award those things have the attention span of a gnat.
