Detroit Vs Chicago makeup game thread

[BisonBacker]

Garcia struggling so far.
Bottom of the first 1-0 Sox are up and Garcia is having a tough time.
2 out right now with 2 on

[BisonBacker]

Still think the game if its necessary tomorrow should have been decided on who has the winning record between the two which would be Minnesota but instead a coin flip gives Chicago the home field advantage. xnonono2x

[BisonBacker]

Garcia gets griffey on a ground out 1-0 Sox after one inning. Come on Detroit lets go.

[BisonBacker]

Word is if the game tomorrow is necessary Blackburn would start. That makes me nervous. Man I wish we had Santanna yet.

[BisonBacker]

Garcia did well to get out of that last inning giving up only one run

[BisonBacker]

Floyd sounds like he's throwing pretty well right now for Chicago.

[BisonBacker]

2 up and 2 down for Detroit so far in the top of the second. So far they haven't gotten a hit off Floyd.

[BisonBacker]

Tigers go 1-2-3 in the second so after 1 1/2 its Chicago 1-0

[BisonBacker]

Bottom of the second Ramirez starts it off. Detroit has their bullpen up already?? Whats up with that.

[BisonBacker]

Ramirez flies out, Pierzynski is up and I'm sure I spelled that wrong.

[Ivytalk]

Go Sox!:D

[BisonBacker]

Garcia strikes out AJ. Garcia sounds like he's settling down.

[BisonBacker]

Foul pop up and Inge gets the third out. YES

[BisonBacker]

End of 2 Sox up 1-0

[BisonBacker]

Tigers need to show more patience at the plate

[BisonBacker]

Ryan is the first out in the third.

[BisonBacker]

2 down in the top of the third still 1-0 sox

[BisonBacker]

Granderson walks and Sheffield is up to bat.

[BisonBacker]

Hard to believe that with the number of Homeruns Sheffeild has hit he's not hit one in Chicago's stadium. Thats a call come on Sheff.

[BisonBacker]

Granderson Steals second base.

[BisonBacker]

Called third strike. 2 1/2 in the books and it's still 1-0

[BisonBacker]

I'm headed home from work. If nobody else picks up the thread I will when I get home from work. Go Tigers/Twins

[BisonBacker]

Detroit's up to bat still 1-0 Sox. Garcia has settled down it appears. Tigers just need to string some hits together.

[BisonBacker]

Top of the 5th coming up

[BisonBacker]

Tigers get the leadoff hitter on Rayburn singles to left.

[BisonBacker]

Rayburn steals 2nd. Third stolen base for Detroit.

[BisonBacker]

1-1 Tie with an RBI double from Inge. Damn near hit a HR

[BisonBacker]

Floyd now having to pitch from the stretch and another base hit so runners at 1st and 3rd with nobody out.

[BisonBacker]

Chicago starting up the pen now.

[BisonBacker]

So far 4 hits for Detroit 2 for Chicago.

[BisonBacker]

Santiago up to bat and strikes out.

[BisonBacker]

One out runners still at the corners and have Granderson coming up to bat.

[BisonBacker]

Unbelievable the crowd is pretty thin in the stands. Guess thats what you get with a day game and a rain delay.

[BisonBacker]

Granderson just missed a double over first base ball just went foul.

[BisonBacker]

Granderson really battling with Floyd.

[BisonBacker]

Full count now

[BisonBacker]

Granderson strikes out on the breaking ball

[BisonBacker]

Sheffield up to bat now come on Detroit now would be a great time for a HR.

[BisonBacker]

Sheffield grounds to 3rd so Detroit only gets one in the fifth. Tie 1-1 with the Sox coming to bat.

[BisonBacker]

Floyd starting to get the ball up so I wouldn't be surprised to see a change in pitchers for Chicago in the 6th

[BisonBacker]

Tigers really lost a good opportunity with runners on the corners and nobody out in that last inning.

[BisonBacker]

AJ pops out for the first out in Chicagos half of the inning.

[BisonBacker]

Uribe hits a nubber to the pitcher and is thrown out by Garcia

[BisonBacker]

Inge throws out Cabrerra for the third out. Garcia rolling now. Detroit coming up to bat.

[BisonBacker]

6th inning and Floyd is still in. Ordonez up to bat

[BisonBacker]

Ordonez called out on Strikes. Floyd now around 100 pitches.

[BisonBacker]

Cabrerra up to bat. So far he's 0 for 2 today.

[BisonBacker]

Cabrerra gets a double. Dotel up in the Sox pen for the second time.

[BisonBacker]

Thames up to bat and just missed a double down the 3rd baseline.

[BisonBacker]

Line drive to the glove of Uribe. Sox getting lucky here.

[BisonBacker]

Detroit takes the lead on an error by Floyd. A little dribbler hit by Rayburn and what should have been an out is a wild throw and Rayburn gets to 2nd on the error and Detroit takes the lead. Go Tigers.

[BisonBacker]

Critical mistake by Floyd. Ozzie leaves him in the game. Wow

[BisonBacker]

Brandon Inge up to bat. Runner on second base. So far a 2-0 count and now they will intentionaly walk Inge.

[BisonBacker]

Ryan now at the dish.

[BisonBacker]

Ryan strikes out and strand 2 on the bases.

[BisonBacker]

This game has taken a whole different feel to it after Detroit takes the lead.

[BisonBacker]

Wise up to bat for Chicago, Garcia now 3-1 on Wise. Maybe sat a little to long on the bench. Now 3-2

[BisonBacker]

Thornton up in the Sox pen Floyd's seen his last of this game and Garcia walks Wise.

[BisonBacker]

Wise steals second base.

[BisonBacker]

Leland and a trainer out to talk to Garcia. Looks like Garcia maybe out of the game, something apparently wrong. Garcia is done. Not good for Detroit, Gallaraga is coming into the game.

[BisonBacker]

Anyone else following this game???

[BisonBacker]

So bottom of the sixth and a runner on second with nobody out and Gallaraga comes in. 39k at the game is the announced attendance.

[BisonBacker]

Dye up to bat now.

[BisonBacker]

Wild pitch runner to third.

[BisonBacker]

Another wild pitch and now it's a tie game.

[BisonBacker]

New pitcher coming into the game for Detroit.

[BisonBacker]

Thome up to bat next with nobody out and Dye on First base. Bobby Seay in now.

[BisonBacker]

another passed ball now Dye to second. This one was on the catcher though not the pitcher.

[BisonBacker]

White sox still only have 2 hits but 3 wild pitches (last one was ruled as a wild pitch) but are having this one handed to them by Detroit.

[BisonBacker]

Thomes strikes out.

[BisonBacker]

Konerko is up to bat but will be intentionally walked to get the lefty matchup Leyland wants plus sets up the double play.

[BisonBacker]

3-0 to Griffey

[BisonBacker]

Walks Griffey now bases loaded. Wild pitches and walks are really costing Detroit ( and the Twins) in this inning. New pitcher coming in.

[BisonBacker]

Not a hit in this inning for the White sox and they have already scored one run and have the bases loaded. Unbelievable. Blover coming in to pitch now. Lets get a double play here.

[BisonBacker]

Grand Slam looks like the Twins will be playing tomorrow in Chicago.

[Thunderstruck84]

I think the Twins can head to the airport now

[BisonBacker]

6-2 now Chicago. Will check back later but this makes me sick. Of all people to give up a gopher ball and it was the first hit of the inning that's sickening.

[BisonBacker]

Yeah MLB really has a F'd up system of determining where the game will be played. Should be based on who's won the most between the two teams not a fricken coin flip. Huge advantage for Chicago they don't deserve or have earned. If they had tied in the regular season I would say yea a coin flip is understandable but not when the Twins hold the series advantage in the regular season.

[BisonBacker]

If they want to play that why don't they do it for the World Series then rather then using the All Star game as the determining factor? Stupid. I hope the Twins kick thier ass tomorrow.

[BisonBacker]

All the runners Detroit left on the bases really look like they are going to cost them and the Twins.

[BisonBacker]

Error on Chicago and Granderson gets on First. Now Sheffield is up to bat with a new pitcher (Dotel) coming into the game.

[Thunderstruck84]

I like it better this way... now there can be no bickering and excuses between each side. I've seen fans from both teams saying that "we gave it away" and "the team we played was playing better than the team you played". Well tomorrow's your chance to get it back.

GO TWINS! xprayx

[BisonBacker]

Granderson Steals second.

[BisonBacker]

Sheffield flies out to Center.

[BisonBacker]

Ordonez flies out to Right. Bottom of the 7th coming up.

[BisonBacker]

I have no problem with that but the game should be in Minnesota not Chicago based on Minnesota winning the Regular season series. Why a coin flip? Makes no sense unless the two teams had tied in the regular season.xsmhx

[BisonBacker]

Huge advantage for Chicago given the way both teams play on the road.

[Thunderstruck84]

I agree, seems kind of silly to have two teams play each other 18 times in the regular season and not have the head to head matchups count for anything.

Why can't they just do it like the other 3 leagues and say the head to head matchups are the tiebraker. xwhistlex

[BisonBacker]

Well none of this would of even been necessary had the Twins won 2 out of 3 against Kansas City anyway. Twins haven't been their own best friend thats for sure.

[BisonBacker]

Sox down 123 so top of the 8th coming up and Detroit running out of outs.

[BisonBacker]

3 outs left for Detroit

[ISUMatt]

Stop yer sniveling and get ready for the White Sox...if the Twins are truly better, they will win on Tuesday!!!
Maybe if you beat KC more than once on the final weekend, you wouldnt have to come back to Chicago!

[BisonBacker]

Not sniveliing just stating the facts. The Sox should be the ones traveling. If it were the other way around you'd be saying the same thing and if you say different your full of crap.

[ISUMatt]

White Sox win 8-2

Blackburn vs Danks Tuesday for the AL Central

ISU: drop off some black Sox stuff at my office tomorrow. I have nothing Sox that is black. I'm going to wear my black ND hat, black CCU sweats, and a black CCU ALUM tshirt.

Nevermind I do have a black White Sox stocking cap I'll wear.

[AshevilleApp2]

And so ends one of the most frustrating season in Tiger history. So much hype with so few positive results. :( Maybe next year.


And at least the Yankees didn't make the playoffs. xnodx

[ISUMatt]

I do believe when the coin was flipped the White Sox had the season advantage, at that time
