Game time: 7:05 pm
Scheduled starters: Julian Tavarez (5-6, 4.39) v. Andrew Miller (3-2, 3.81)
The game will be on NESN.
Detroit weather:
1 pm observation at KDTW: Wind variable at 7 mph, visibility 10 miles, scattered clouds at 5,500 feet, temperature 81F, DP 57F.
Forecast:
A surface high in the upper midwest is moving into the area, and will bring a sunny day and a warm, rain-free night. Diurnal cumulus forming during the afternoon will likely dissipate after sundown. It could be in the low 80s at game time, with the winds out of the west northwest at less than 12 mph. That's blowing out toward left/left center, but who cares in that huge outfield!
Full Version: BOSTON at Detroit, Friday, July 6, 2007
I just had the following conversation at work.
BS: Just out of curiosity, who are you rooting for in the Sox/Detroit series.
Yankee Fan: I was hoping you weren't going to ask that.
BS: Are you conceding the division?
Yankee Fan: No, just trying to be logical about it.
BS: So you are rooting for the Red Sox?
Yankee Fan: No, I am rooting for the Yankees to make the playoffs.
BS: So you are rooting for the Red Sox?
Yankee Fan: Fine. I'll say it. I'm rooting for the Red Sox.

And that my friends is why Sox fans are better than Yankee fans (part 1337).
Haha good stuff, my brother-in-law is a yanks fan so I just texted him the question, he hasn't answered yet.
I love the Tigers/Red Sox series, even though you guys usually end up winning them.
I was watching the 4 homers in a row earlier in the season, what a magic moment.
Anyway just thought I'd stop by and say hello to you guys, and uh good luck except for this series and any playoff games this year

Neifi Perez tests positive for stimulants, suspended 25 games. You can't make this stuff up, folks.
This Miller kid looks nasty. Like a young RJ. For all of our Lester talk, we'd be lucky if Lester turned out this good.
Of course, the Tigers announcers basically have him in the Hall of Fame already, so that's bugging me.
Under their scouting report for Tavarez, they put "Bad Boy."

No-no no mo'
Wily Mo brought his bat!
edit: NOOOOOO!
edit: NOOOOOO!
In all fairness to WMP, that was one hell of a throw by Granderson.
Nice to see a little two-out bingo from Lugo and Crisp.

Yeah, anything other than a THAT throw and WMP is safe. I wish he had gone in a little harder though.
Got nervous with Granderson ....
How did Manny get voted to the All Star team? The players?

yeah, it was the players. I think they said that was the only reason he was considering going to San Fran.
Ah sheesh. error by Lowell.
Tavarez is looking a little shaky.....
Colon Sucks!
Bailey sucks
And to add insult to injury..... LA Angels blow a 3-2 lead and are now down 7-3 to the Yanks.
Wonder when Tito will get the bullpen going. JT has been getting rocked this past inning +
I'm watching this at 1.28am in the UK and all I can say is
OH SHIT!
OH SHIT!
1.28. And I thought the 10:05 games were tough.
Nice play by Dustin.
Intentional walk? This inning has been going on way too long.

Well folks, call it a game
**** this shit
So, this is how Tampa felt last night.
OH SHIT part 2
Holy crap.
What's the matchup tomorrow?
What's the matchup tomorrow?
Tavarez should have been pulled before this, or even before the inning. What a trainwreck
When Tavarez implodes, he really leaves no doubt.
Well, if you are going to blow the game, you might as well blow it big.
I'll be happy if we can win one game this weekend. Hopefully, the Angels will turn things around and win two.

Wow! It took 8 runs to decide JT couldnt cut it tonight?
He's a number five pitcher against a good hitting team. It's hard to expect much more from Julian......Nice play by Bailey sticking with that grounder off his chest.
and lopez gets the guy on 1 pitch.
This SUCKS!!! I guess I didn't realize those damn Tigers can produce runs just like the Yanks! somewhere I thought I heard average RPG for Tigers is 6.0 but not sure for Yanks
And on that note I bid you all goodnight. I'm off for some 
.

Not dissing on Julian. I saw him pitch here in ATL a couple of weeks ago and he was monstrous! I have always felt that he is either on or off!
Lets go Angels! Keep the comeback going!

Do you really care how many games back the MFY are? Us losing to Detroit is actually worse for them.
On a different note, the only game we may win this weekend is the third one with Matsuzaka on.
Bonderman vs Gabbard is gonna be much worse than tonight.
I always root for a Yankees loss my friend

i always root for an exciting game. lots of strange stuff happening tonight, including cano missing third base on cairo's triple. costs us a run and an out. now it's 9-9! ugly baseball but fun to watch.
Why are the umps talking to everyone on the mound tonight?

the umps are actually telling angels pitchers how to deal with a-rod. it's 12-9 now after a-rod's 29th, a rocket shot to left. it got out of the park in a hurry.
hope you guys don't mind the yankees-angels thriller taking over your thread!
Yah I wasnt talking about the Yankees game, but thanks anyways Reggie Jackson.
Yankees arent losing tonight, oh well.
Nice try by Hinske, can only imagine what WMP would've done .
Sigh

Why don't you just STFU instead? Don't you suckers have your own message boards you can troll on?
Yanks/Angels + Twins/ChiSox has been crazy. Yanks game is 21 runs and they're only in the sixth, Twins/Chi was 34 runs.
He's not trolling, so cool out.
He would have made such a great catch they would have given him a HR.

Wouldn't be surprised if Hinske had to take a DL stint from that. The way he was grabbing his shoulder, I'd assume it's at least bruised, possibly separated.
Maybe Wily Mo will actually get some playing time, or Francona will just call up Dave Murphy to play in the OF while benching Wily and spitting his tobacco juice at his feet.

If you lived where I live and listened to MFY fans all day, watched MFY sh!t on the news every night, had to watch every Red Sox game on a computer instead on a TV, you'd at least want to have a website or a message board where you can go without having to hear about them, wouldn't you?
To me he's trolling, period. WTF does he have to do or say on this board?
What a way to end it, thanks Lugo
