Maroth looks to keep streak going
posted in 2007 season, KC Royals |Game 29: Tigers (17-11) at Royals (10-20), 7:10 p.m.
TV: FSN
Pitchers: Mike Maroth (2-0, 4.82) vs. Odalis Perez (2-3, 6.91 ERA)
Mike Maroth hasn’t been particularly successful against the Royals recently as they are the only team to score more than three runs on him this season, and they’ve done it twice. Although he hasn’t picked up a decision since April 12. , the Tigers are a perfect 5-0 in games Maroth has started (wow!). So hopefully the latter streak continues.
Odalis Perez has picked up quality starts in his last two games, against the Angels and Twins. He doesn’t seem to walk or strike many out.
Bunt … uhm…free throw
Of course, for many Detroit fans, how Maroth is doing will be a question that occurs to them only during commercials of the first game of the Pistons-Bulls series, which starts at the same time over on TNT.
So to get you ready for that, I send you to Detroit Bad Boys for the unofficial theme song of 2007’s Pistons playoff run.
The Wings’ playoff run continues in the afternoon — Detroit’s pretty good at this whole sports thing, isn’t it?
Sphere It
Add in the Kentucky Derby, the last day of Lions rookie mini-camp, and the De La Hoya/Mayweather fight, you pretty much can’t get much better of a sports day then today. And I thought last weekend with Wings/Pistons playoff games, Tigers/Twins, and the NFL Draft was busy.
Great, great time for sports.
