When you're shit its best to bring him in games like this.. Nothing to lose. 90 losses or 100, it doesn't matter.

If this team can't win another serries, before roster expansion happens in a week, then they probably will lose 95+ games this season.

Justin Verlander pitched seven strong innings. But the Tigers' offense failed to give him much support again, managing only two runs against White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez.
Verlander threw seven innings, allowing two runs on six hits. He struck out eight and walked two. There was only one other run-scoring blemishes: Jose Abreu hit a solo shot in the first inning. It was Abreu?s fifth career home run against Verlander.
In the month of August, he?s allowed 10 runs in 36 innings with 41 strikeouts.
JV has a 2.38 ERA and 75 strikeouts in his last 10 starts covering 68 innings.

The Tigers had only one extra-base hit, a ground-rule double by Andrew Romine in the fifth inning that landed just inches inside of the left-field line.

Tigers catcher James McCann preserved the tie in the seventh when he kept the Sox from scoring on an attempted double steal with runners on first and third. McCann fired to second, where his bullet was intercepted by Ian Kinsler, who fired right back to McCann. The Tigers catcher took a jolting hit from Yolmer Sanchez, but held on for the out.

NOTABLE
Jose Abreu hit his fifth career home run off Justin Verlander in the first inning. Among active players, only Cleveland Indians first baseman Carlos Santana (eight) has more. Next up are Joe Mauer and teammate Victor Martinez, who have four each.

Verlander reached 2,500 career innings pitched on Friday night. Only three active pitchers -- Bartolo Colon, CC Sabathia and John Lackey -- have accomplished that feat.

Tigers left fielder Justin Upton didn't get to enjoy his 30th birthday on Friday. He went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and a pop-out to the catcher against White Sox starter Miguel Gonzalez.
Upton was 5-for-13 with two doubles and a home run against Gonzalez before Friday.
Upton, who made his Major League debut at the age of 19, entered the game with 853 runs scored, 248 home runs and 134 stolen bases

According to STATS, LLC, Upton is the seventh player in MLB history with 850 runs scored, 225 home runs and 125 stolen bases before turning 30, joining Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., Andruw Jones, Willie Mays, Frank Robinson and Alex Rodriguez.

Boxscore.

Roars
Justin Verlander: Seven innings, six hits, eight whiffs. That?s our Late-Season-JV, right there.

Victor Martinez: Three hits and a run scored. A decent day at the office.
Jose Iglesias and Dixon Machado: Combined on a fantastic backhand-flip play to nail a runner at third.

Hisses
First five guys in the lineup: Combined to go 1-for-20, the only hit beig a single by Alex Presley.

Joe Jimenez: For giving up the winning run on four pitches.
The Tigers are still waiting for Joe Jimenez to gain traction against big-league hitters.

Brad Ausmus: For making the previous bullet-point a thing I had to type tonight.

Potent Quotables from the Radio Guys
Dan Dickerson: ?Aaron Judge was seen on video falling on Miguel Cabrera with a forearm to the head. Someone earlier today on MLB Network said that it looked like Judge slipped and fell.?
Jim Price: ?I?ve got your ?slipped and fell? right here.?

MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Iglesias drops the Tigers in front: Jose Iglesias turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead with a soft single over the head of Anderson in the fifth inning. Iglesias' hit brought home Victor Martinez, who singled, and Andrew Romine, whose ground-rule double fell just out of the reach of left fielder Alen Hanson, known as "El Chamaquito" during Players Weekend.

Sanchez can't go home: Verlander escaped a first-and-third, one-out situation in the seventh when Sanchez was nabbed at home on the back end of a double-steal attempt. Sanchez broke for home after catcher James McCann threw the ball to second to try to nail Adam Engel. But Ian Kinsler, known as "Bootsie" for Players Weekend, quickly threw to McCann, who made the catch, applied the tag and held on after Sanchez tried to jar the ball loose.

Saturday is a 7 PM night game, I can handle that.

Hope one of you other guys will post the game thread for Sunday with lineup.
I don't think I will be able to.
