I hope Jackson can stay hot... That would be nice...

great to see Dirks back in there.....

These 4 o'clock saturday games put out of state fans at a disadvantage with foxsports blackout.
The game of the week here is the rangers/redsox, so I am hoping it goes to nesn and they put our Tigers on.

great to see Dirks back in there.....

My thoughts exactly.

 

[biggunsbob]

Get us in boys...Off to my dad's to watch the Michigan game... I will be channel clicking all day....LOL

Better offensive lineup then last night, except maybe at 2b, depending on if Carlos can actually hit or not.

Maybe we can score 10 for Penny, and win by 2

I am surprised Penny has not been on the DL all year. Maybe he has turned the corner in his career.

There is talk he has touched the radar gun at 96 MPH.

Hi Abe,
Maybe his off season conditioning program with stretching helped.
That and dancing with the babe.
He has got the fastball back up in that 95/96.
We just need a win today or tomorrow or better both days.

Last night, I went to the mlbextrainnings and saw the indians were beating chen. That is frustrating that soft tossing lefty gives our Tigers fits, but gets hit by other teams.

Today is Carlos Guillen's turn in the second whitesox game, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he plans to start Ryan Raburn at second base Sunday night in the series finale Sunday night.

LOL a 3 man rotation at second base.

Only the mind of Leyland comes up with that. :

It could include Rhymes too. wouldn't surprise me if he gives the 'scrappy' one a start there too.

 

[kalinecountry]

oh crap, these foxsports f'ers have the redsox and rangers.
nesn has a college football game.
I have to go by Gameday.
F foxsports and all their crap announcers.
dick stockton and mccarver suck.

 

[tigers99888]

I hope Dirks takes Boesch's spot for no one due to injury..

 

[tigers99888]

Let's hope Penny isn't a gascan today..

 

[tigers99888]

Penny is trash

 

[kalinecountry]

Let's hope Penny isn't a gascan today..

1st inning already 20 plus pitches.

 

[kalinecountry]

Penny shouldn' sniff a start in the playoffs as long as they get in.
JV, Fister, Scherzer.
what do you guys think?

 

[kalinecountry]

Brad Penny is 3-0 with a 2.89 ERA against the ChiSox this year for the Tigers, and is 6-10 with a 5.36 ERA against everyone else.
