Im going to go out on a limb here and say this is the first day of Brians long career as a fulltime starter. I just have this feeling he is going to take it this time.

Hopefully Danks can go a good 7 tonight, and hopefully the offense stays hot and beats the s*** out of Porcello to give Danks some decent run support for once.

Are we sure he's in the lineup and it's NOT Jerry Owens??? I haven't seen a lineup posted anywhere

Ozzie already said he is going to be starting

 

“Kenny made that decision because we need a center fielder right now," Guillen said of the Owens' promotion. "We’re going to start by keep playing with Brian. ... I have to see how (Owens) was doing because I don’t think he was doing too well in Triple-A, either

Any chance this is played? Looks like showers all day in Detroit.

I was wondering the same thing. Detroit always seems to get the Chicago weather a day later, and the only reason the Cubs played yesterday was because it was opening day, they had no business playing on that field

Looks like there could be a window around the time the game is supposed to start: http://www.weather.com/outlook/homeandgard...6hr_topnav_home

They'll probably play, but this wouldn't be the worst game to get rained out. Both teams have next Monday off, so they wouldn't have to worry about pitching anyone on short rest if there is a doubleheader on Wednesday.

Get a W for me on my birthday.

BUT I BET HE'S LYING ON THAT LINEUP CARD AND ITS ACTUALLY OWENS!!!

 

This'll be tough, maybe BA goes deep twice on Porcello like he did on King Felix

Get a W for me on my birthday.

Happy Birthday Mike! (in garbled Haray Caray voice)

Is Lillibridge starting again because of the elbow bruise for Getz?

Probably a safe bet.

Supposedly Getz could be back in the lineup tomorrow.

ight hopefully we get this one in, lets go sox

Assuming you get the chance, go get em John.

Would be nice to get the win and take another series from a divisional opponent. Then go for the kill tomorrow! We have a tough stretch coming up with Tampa, Baltimore and Toronto...need to get as many wins now as possible or things could get ugly quick.

Porcello throws a lot of fastballs. We should have the advantage against him, until down the road he figures out how to pitch. But right now this kid is a talented thrower who is going to flood the zone with hard stuff. Expect the sox to pound him.

I am not a weatherman but it looks like we should be delayed a bit but should get it in...be sure to watch the map in motion by hitting the play button...

Weather.com now shows a 10% chance of rain at 1 PM Eastern. So it seems more likely that they would start the game and there may be a delay later on.

Weather

 

It's raining pretty heavily in Detroit about one hour before game time. Let's hope we can get this one in since our bats are hot.

 

Today's Lineup

 

Lillibridge 4, Fields 5, Quentin 7, Thome dh, Dye 9, PK 3, AJ 2, Ramirez 6, BA 8. Danks pitching.

 

Jerry Owens arrived in Detroit to take the roster spot of Dewayne Wise, who was placed on the disabled list with a separated right shoulder after making a diving catch in yesterday's victory.

They'll probably play, but this wouldn't be the worst game to get rained out. Both teams have next Monday off, so they wouldn't have to worry about pitching anyone on short rest if there is a doubleheader on Wednesday.

 

One of the guys pitching tomorrow would have to pitch Sunday.
