The Tigers finally get to resume their natural rivalry with their geographical cousins, the Arizona Diamondbacks. Kind of weird to have both Dontrelle Willis and Armando Galarraga starting in the same game huh?

I have a bad feeling that Dontrelle pitches a two-hit complete game shut out with him giving up 10 walks and the Tigers grounding into 6 double plays.
I’m not sure even Dontrelle can manage 10 walks against Detroit, we don’t exacty walk a lot…the double plays I’ll buy though
Dontrelle regularly throws over players heads and into the opposite batters box. It might be tempting to Laird, but perhaps even he can lay off those pitches. Perhaps.
And I’m guessing Raburn will be up there hacking at the first pitch
A pleasant surprise, thank you Mr. Raburn
This should be an automatic win for the Tigers. We’re still paying Willis’ salary, so he should be required to help us out in the best way he can. For him, that would be pitching for the other team against us.
Ah, but as Leyland says “it isn’t who you play, it’s when you play them.” Whatever that means.
The Arizona lineup should be more of a challenge to our pitching staff than the Buccos or Gnats.
this is going to be way more weird than if it were just another traded pitcher…..won’t it?
Nothing weird so far – SNAFU for Willis.
Maybe it’s the ballpark.
Maggs got a 3-2 strike………wow!
and Avila is hitting against the LH Willis because???? Smokey…. oh darn! I picked up the wrong Kinko’s pre printed lineup and it’s too hard to change this lineup………or just because he SHOULD be playing more!
Laird day-to-day with a stiff neck.
Wow, Binge!!
Binge making that late AA Star vote run….I like it!!
nice to see nothing’s changed: D-train wild all over the place. Thankfully, he’s wearing different colors now….let’s be very patient: if we give him enough rope, he’ll hang himself for sure….
I’m enjoying this greatly.
Seems like Damon has K’d looking a lot this year, or is it just me?
thinking the same thing
That’s 9 errors for Cabrera this year already. But I suppose his superior range factor offsets that.
A couple of those were, imo, not errors. Thought for sure 1 or 2 would be changed. I guess being extra hard on him will make him a better 1st baseman.
Twinkies gettting spanked by Philly 8-0 in the third.
What is happening to mighty awesome Twins.
They’re playing a tough schedule right now and Mauer and Morneau aren’t hitting.
I’m starting to warm towards this new Raburn…well maybe not warm but at least out of the freezer……
see the Nats have pounded out one hit thru 6 against the Pale Hose behind Strausburg
9 Ks in 6 innings for the phenom.
this ain’t going at all like I thought it was going to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It would be nice to get out of this inning without any more runs, especially considering: Don Kelly, batting 4th…
Arman-doh! with the pickoff attempt
Another pickoff error – amazing.
You could almost see that coming with Galarraga – lots of pitches and not a great ball-to strike ratio.
great base running by Danon
atta boy Kelly
The mighty King Kong Kelly.
What happened to Cabrera?
He left with “dizziness.” Dehydrated maybe? Let’s hope it’s nothing…
Dizzy. Day to day.
If you take away the occasional wild outing, Thomas has actually been pretty good. Especially lately.
Need more strikes, please.
can’t fall behind in the count to every batter!
Guillen’s range at 2nd is very, um, Renteria-like
I hope we blow this Boyer guy up.
turn him into a gascan.
how about Inge lately…..he could actually work himself off our dog list…….
He is hitting .261 and has temporarily forgotten how to strike out.
And how good has the Knuckle-Bone been this season? A nice 2.12 ERA and 1.06 WHIP
Cy Boyer and …….he didn’t even start the game
BRinge!
BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbinge u kiddin me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Inge !
what has Inge been eating?
3Binge!! I-Money!
Ole!
Avila!
Worth what was that….is that legal??????
JL playing small ball?? What is happening here?
he had to have done that on his own…completely fooled everyone including Smokey!!
Oh, Rugburn, don’t break my heart.
K-Burn…and just when he had started closing in on the Mendoza line…
Credit also to Boesch for working the BB, and for Cap’n Smokey for putting on the hit-and-run and keeping the GIDP monster away.
Wow, and Worth can bunt! Whaddya know!
B.O.O.B. rally!
Worth wants a job!
OK even I vote for Inge for P.O. G today!
Inge is 16 for his last 41 – McClendon is a genius!
Who says Tiger fans don’t have a sense of humor–for once Inge is maybe actually the player of the game, and he may end up losing it to Ordonez
Not even close. You should know better by now.
The V in Valverde is Victorious!
come on guys and gals you kinda miss Jones….admit it!!!
I know I do–during rain delays.
1-2-3 ninth – Yawn.
Twins lost.
7 wins in a row!
Tomorrow we get to find out if Porcello has found his arm slot or whatever.
I hope Edwin temporarily misplaces his.
We also get to find out if Kong Kelly will be batting 4th tomorrow.
If he plays 1B, that is where he will be – it says so right there in the book.
Bringe says – “that one was for you, stephen.”
Thank god we don’t have to look at Dontrell’s mug again. Armando says it was so “hot” he just felt weak. What if this was the WS? What would he say then.
Since the WS is held in November now, he would probably complain about the cold.
I hope it isn’t 91 in late October or early November. If so, the World Series will be the least of our concerns.
Last year , JV lost to Saint Louis . He pitched 2 inn . Why? It was hot and wet. He said he was worn outJoel PiƱero passed out the next game and was taken in arms out of the field. Perfecto is from Cumana hot but dry and salty , more or less like California or Florida in the coast
He went four innings, not two.
