THOME IS OUT TONIGHT!

 

Gload is in at 1B, Kong at DH.

 

he is day to day with a tweaked groin

Where did you hear this?

Mac, Jerko and Harry just mentioned it.

 

I guess this will have Ozzie think twice about starting JI at 1st in the NL parks.

 

If that's the result of this, I consider this to be great news then. I have no problem with Thome getting at bats on those trips, but he doesn't need to start. Jurassic and Frank got ABs without starting during last year's interleague stint.

Detroit already up 1-0 in the 2nd, back to back doubles by Polonco and Thames. Schilling on the hill against Rogers.

Yep, Thome is day-to-day with a strained groin. AJP is batting 3rd tonight.

New lineup:

 

Pods, LF

Iguchi, 2B

AJ, C

PK, DH

Dye, RF

Crede, 3B

Gload, 1B

Uribe, SS

BA, CF

 

JG, SP

Well, this is why we kept Gload at the end of the bench for so long. Hopefully he'll prove useful.

 

Wow...Texas only has 3 guys in their lineup hitting under .300, and one of them is Teixeira.

Good news, out 3rd hitter has a .347/.383/.488 line against right-handed pitching this seaosn.

Bad news: he's .190/.261/.238 w/RISP -- GIDP to end the first anyone?

 

oddly, he's .391/.436/.540 with both of his HRs when the bases are empty.

I would have had Dye bat 3rd but what do I know?

SOB, when it goes bad it all goes bad.

So you're saying Pierzynski would make a good leadoff hitter?

What channel is CSN+ on DirecTv?

What channel is CSN+ on DirecTv?

 

Not sure if this helps, but it is CLTV on Digital cable. Maybe same with DirecTV.

Why the f*** would the Sox be on CLTV+ when they're at home and are capable of producing an HD feed? While the Cubs are in St. Louis and will be taking up the CSNHD for whatever dumbass reason.

We need Thome to be healthy for next week. He'll almost definitely miss 2 games in this series at a minimum.

No CLTV on DirecTv. At least I don't think so.

 

EDIT: Found it. Channel 668.

Boston ties up Detroit @ 1-1. Single by Manny knocking in Coco.

Ask Hangar18

*turns on Heat/Pistons game*

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but I see that Thome isn't in the lineup. Is he just getting the night off, or is there an injury? Thanks

Tweaked groin.

I hope he untweaks it quick. Considering the trajectory of this team, this isn't a good time to be without our best hitter.

We'll be fine. Our bench is solid.

 

Stupid gameday seems to be stalling. What's going on in Detroit?

Comcast said it's a strained quad, and Thome was walking very gingerly tonight.

I hope he's ready for the Detroit series.
