Tigers hitters vs. CC captain cheeseburger.

Casey Crosby and CC Sabathia are both left-handed. But they vary a bit in experience.
Sabathia will be making his 366th career start in the majors and Crosby his first when the two do battle tonight at Comerica Park. It's the first game of a three-game series between the Detroit Tigers and the New York Yankees.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland said he would give Alex Avila the night off tonight after Avila was bloodied by a foul ball that knocked his mask off in the game Thursday night against Boston. Omir Santos will start at catcher in place of Avila.
Gerald Laird will be the designated hitter for the Tigers. He is hitting .421 (8-for-19) with a home run and four RBIs in his career vs. Sabathia. Miguel Cabrera has fared even better than that. He is hitting .455 (10-for-22) with two home runs, 12 RBIs and seven walks against Sabathia.
Brennan Boesch is 4-for-10 against Sabathia, but every out he has made against the veteran left-hander -- all six of them -- has been by strikeout.

Detroit— Tigers catcher Alex Avila showed no signs of a concussion after taking a hard shot off his mask — the foul tip bloodied the bridge of his nose — and leaving Thursday night's game in Boston.
But Avila still was out of the starting lineup for Friday night's game against the Yankees at Comerica Park.
Recently recalled Omir Santos was scheduled to start at catcher, with Gerald Laird set to be the designated hitter.
Shortstop Jhonny Peralta also was given a break since he is 1 for 17 lifetime vs. CC, and center fielder Austin Jackson (side strain) remained on the disabled list; he was eligible to come off Friday. Andy Dirks continues to be day to day with an achilles problem.

Line-up 5-9 gaaaaaaaaag again. Although it seems like DY might be turning a corner. As someone mentioned earlier, June has been BB's best month statistically. One can only hope.

Avila healthy but resting.
Santos has caught Crosby in Toledo.
Laird has good numbers vs. CC

BB plays. He stays in the lineup. When guys like DY or Peralta or 2B or Avila get rest (take a day off) he plays. The 2 sluggers, AJ and BB are the 4 who play everyday when healthy.
 
Were do you guys find these pics, lol funny....


Austin Jackson says he's feeling a lot better, pain is no longer an issue. Still not 100%, so will not come off DL today even though he is able.
AJax on abdominal strain; "I got a chance to kind of shut down from any activity for a little bit, and I think that definitely helped it".

Leyland-"This is not how we drew it up on June 1st, to have Crosby starting, Santos catching against the Yankees, with Berry in center."
 
The Yankees are hitting .151 with the bases loaded and the Tigers are hitting .114.
These are the two worst marks in the AL.
 
Ugly fucking lineup.

Cabrera and Fielder are the only quality hitters.
 
Yankee broadcasters on YES complaining about Yanks' RISP.
Tigers are 4th w RISP (.282), Yanks 13th (.223) in 2012.
 
RedWings Niklas Lidstrom brought out Tigers' lineup card and received a huge ovation.
 
Berry showing some power again tonight. Lead off triple about 400 feet to center field. Worth singles him in. 1-0!
