Freddy Garcia's numbers against the Tigers read a bit like a pitcher's AL Cy Young-caliber season would - 17-6 with a 3.73 ERA. As I said yesterday, we've got a lot of rooks who have never seen him, so per usual we can pin our hopes on them and hope they come up with something. Brennan Boesch sure did last night, after a few tries.
Miggy was hitless last night, so he's due. Rick has been inconsistent this year; last week's start wasn't helped by several defensive errors. His starts against the White Sox haven't been great, with a 6.57 ERA and a couple home runs from their current lineup. He's never pitched in Chicago, though, so who knows.. maybe he'll like it and find his swagger there.
Tigers lineup: Jackson 8, Damon dh, Raburn 7, Cabrera 3, Boesch 9, Guillen 4, Inge 5, Avila 2, Worth 6
White Sox lineup: Pierre 7, Vizquel 5, Rios 8, Konerko 3, Quentin 9, Kotsay DH, Ramirez 6, Castro 2, Beckham 4

who had a hive in their backyard. They sold honey and beeswax candles at Ren Fest.

where JL would just plug anyone into the #3 hole, but at some point, doesn’t someone (either DD or one of his coaches) have to ask the question… why?
I’m not saying that Cabrera wouldn’t have grouned into a double play, but Raburn is having a terrible year, and its not as if the Tigers can afford to give away wins while playing games in the AL Central.

DING, DING, DING. You are correct.
3- 2 Black Hawks, 4:23 left in the third

Philly scored
Tie game, 3-3.
With as crappy as the goaltending has been on both sides, I knew that was going to happen.

You know, I seriously believed that 8-3 was not an insurmountable deficit

We might need an overflow for the hockey game.
It looks like that’s what everyone’s watching now, anyway.
Not me
If I were to watch anything else, it’d be Mythbusters. But I stick with my boys, through good times and bad.

There has to be, because he's hitting almost 100 points lower than his career average
And he’s been around long enough. Besides, the only acceptable replacement for me would be Kurt Suzuki. I’m tremendously picky about my catchers.

Because I had Gameday up on the computer and it spontaneously played the clip of Lillibridge’s home run and I had Hawk rambling through my speakers

they've been talking about bring him up for weeks
I look for G$ to get DFA and Rabello to backup Avila. And Rick to get a few outings in Toledo to tune him up
Welcome to Detroit, NO sissies allowed
Rabelo's on the DL right now

if thats not what I read
It may have said in the next couple of days

Besides, Rabelo's currently hitting .143
Not exactly an offensive upgrade and Laird is a better defender.

I don't think G$ will be around much longer
The brass is cleaning house. Rabello would do as well as a back up as Gerald does

If they were gonna pluck someone from Toledo, why would it not be Diaz?

could be
but Rabelo knows his way around the bigs already. Its just my opinion. But they are giving a lot of kids a chance this season. His #‘s are slightly better than Rabelo’s. but I don’t think Gerald will be here much longer. Leyland said Avila is going to get most of the playing time…
Welcome to Detroit, NO sissies allowed
theres no point in letting G$ go...
he’s never been dominant enough to demand playing time and he is certainly better than the other backup options.

About the game
This is one of those: things just explode games. I would rather the Tigers take this series but I’m not in complete panic mode.

no no
They are booing Gary Bettman. Every arena does that.
It’s why I think that the HOF should have a guy present it instead of the commish. Everyone hates him so just keep him the hell away from that thing.

But JL has used Zoomer, Perry and Valverde in late innings.
Ni, Bonine, Thomas, Coke, Gonzalez.
Things go better with Coke.
And the fact that I work on Wednesdays doesn't help
I’m already world-weary by the time I get home.
