OK, let’s try this again. This afternoon the Tigers have a second chance at attaining that elusive first winning record. They will be working against an old friend, Edwin Jackson. The Tigers counter with the to-this-point underwhelming Brad “Bad” Penny.
I seem to remember Mr. Jackson had quite a proclivity for the high pitch count; perhaps his teammates remember also and we can get to the Chicago bullpen early today.
Today’s Player of the Pre-Game: Brennan Boesch
Boesch continues to bash; sandwiched between the always dangerous Cabrera and the suddenly hot Raburn, the Boesch Bash will be the key to putting runs on the board.
Today’s Raburn-homers-then-dropped-in-the-order lineup:
- Austin Jackson CF
- Will Rhymes 2B
- Magglio Ordonez DH
- Miguel Cabrera 1B
- Brennan Boesch RF
- Ryan Raburn LF
- Jhonny Peralta SS
- Alex Avila C
- Brandon Inge 3B

I don’t think AJax got your message on EJax PC issues.
At least a strikeout takes a minimum 3 pitches
Raburn down in the order. The good news is that Peralta is also down, while Boesch is up. The bad news is that Jackson is still leading off and Rhymes is batting second. On the other hand, I guess there is only so much bottom-of-the-order at a time. At least Rhymes worked a walk.
Penny seems to be breathing through his eyes. I wonder if he’s wearing a garter belt also.
See, that’s the disadvantage of following the game on the radio. Or is that advantage?
Avila is still stroking it.
Must be Penny’s garter belt!
I can’t believe the hitters are ruining Penny’s no-no.
Jinx fail
i’m blacked out here in LA as Fox is local broadcasting. What station you guys on the radio???. I tried 97.1..no go…..I don’t even have this game on XM radio…..dang
XM 178. You can’t get it on the radio through the net.
Judpma, But the MLB audio package, its like 19 bucks for all year. Its pretty decent
That would be Buy the package
ya I have the Direct TV extra innings so I have watched every gamer except the last two saturdays…but I forgot that I would be blacked out on saturdays alot….
178 XM got it thanks Kevin….my display should only that future game logo until I tuned it in and there is the game….
Has Penny gotten 9 out in a row this year at any point in a game?.. So far so good
Boesch Bash!
finally score on a “Coleman”
He had me fooled, I could’ve sworn a K-Burn was coming
Raburn Rip.
RayBI
two colemans in a week is unusuall…two in a game is great…..two in an inning just doesn’t happen,,,WOW WOW
Inge for the hat trick!
Avila is almost country strong. He’s county strong.
Early candidate for POG (“post of the game”).
Avila………uh………..Stroke!
Clown Show! The CSR is back up in the solid plus range
how about Avila from the first week of the season to where he is now…..pretty amazing….!!!!
EJax getting hammered
and he owns the Tigers before today!
Good idea. AJax should bunt more.
Wow, 4-4 R3L2O, I’m feeling faint…
Jinx!
5 for 6 today, I think!
Is it wrong that I’m bummed that Cabrera didn’t pick up an RBI there?
There’s your RBI
yesssss
to scoring runs, not to kevin. miguel will get his
Remember how bummed many of us were that the Tigers didn’t sign Dunn? Not so much at the moment…
Well, I said Brad Penny was underwhelming up to this point, but he is really beginning to whelm
Is Avila calling the game or Leyland/Knapp from the dugout?
#%!* Shroom
I switched over to listen the Sox broadcast for a little bit, These guys are unbelievable, they make it sound like they have it all together as a team. Hawk is not there. Does anyone know what happened to him, I loved listening to him when the Sox loose.
I would love to be listening to Hawk Sunday when we sweep them on Easter.

Wow Ozzie letting Edwin twist in the wind out there, is he trying to make some point?
Waiting for the right match-up?
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
stick a fork in ’em
Cabrera has also taken to completely ignoring Crazy Gene Lamont also
I just came back from watching the Mavs game, why in the heck is EJ just now getting pulled?
Maybe Ozzie just gave up on this one and is letting Jackson take one for the team to save on the bullpen. He clearly didn’t have it that inning, but the Sox offense has been MIA as well.
Because Ozzie Guillen is bat-crazy?
Correct answer.
because their bullpen only makes things worse
What’s a manager to do?
Bravo Bad Brad. Bravo.
If Penny can pitch like this once every few starts, and Coke can do the same, we’ll have a bit of a nice pitching staff here.
And it gives me a warm feeling to have a good bullpen. Having a Benoit to come in for the 8th inning is a nice luxury. To put things in perspective, Tampa replaced Benoit with…Farnsworth…
Cabrera Crush!
Plus Quentin Quirk
Another Ryan Raburn Rip!
RBI-Burn
9 – 0 lead…where’s Enrique Gonzalez when you need him?
Alburquerque did his best imitation.
Captain Querque
I like that nickname, I just hope he can hang around long enough for it to stick.
Let’s embarrass them again tomorrow.
