I really like Vasquez's chances tonight. The Tigers are a really impatient team at the plate and if Vasquez can take advantage of that, he should be alright.

 

Bondo hasn't been his usual self at home this season, he has gone 3-4 with a 4.71 ERA at Comerica Park. All of his losses have been suffered at home. He has also had difficulty against the White Sox, going 3-6 with a 4.08 ERA. The Tigers are also awful at getting Bonderman run support this season, and I have a feeling that tonight will be no different.

 

 

Yeah we've had pretty good sucess agains Bonderman. I like Thome chance of hittin a HR also.

Tonight's tilt is a tough test. Tame the Tigers!

Hopefully Ozzie resists the need to put Mack in center. We need Brian out in centerfield.

Especially in this park it becomes extra crucial.

I'm actually going to the cubs game tonight, but I'm praying that Javvy shows up and pitches well tonight

 

for me, a win or loss isn't what's important, it's the starting pitching coming together and showing some results

 

c'mon Javvy, step it up

Mack in the lineup tonight. That could really prove costly.

Mack in CF + Spacious Comerica Park = Recipe for extra base disaster

I just hope that Vazquez is at the top of his game tonight. Let's get busy and give the Tigers a good beating.

 

Mack in center tonight is one of the worst moves ozzie has made this year. I'm really not happy about that.

Don't tell me this game is blacked out.

Pods strikes out on 3 pitches to start.

Why cant we play our 'A' lineup vs the Tigers

they looked bad in the first last night too

7 pitches for Bonderman, 7 strikes, 2 strikeouts.

f*** Bonderman is gonna throw a no-hitter with 27 K's

LEFTIE/RIGHTIE MATCHUPS RULE

we're on pace for 27 k's

7 pitches for Bonderman, 7 strikes, 2 strikeouts.

 

you know javy will match that

at least thome stood up there for a few more pitches....

Why isn't this game on ESPN?

i\'m watching mlb gameday and they placed the circle close to the fence, how close was granderson\'s fly ball to out?

didnt he k in the 1st yesterday? *rolls eyes*

>ha! i remeber after we swept det. earlier this year at comerica, after one of the games, bonderman said that he thought the tigers were just as good as the sox, if not better. i was like, b.s., hes on crack. ha, proved me wrong

Why isn't this game on ESPN?

Are you getting blacked out for some dumb reason? Cause espn loves to do that. They blacked out every Sox game on espn when I was at school, really pissed me off.

Just shy of the warning track.

did Leyland just stick a glob of ear wax in his mouth...on national TV?

Javy's patented hanging curve with 2 strikes.
