GDT: 4/10/08 - Detroit (1-7) @ Boston (4-5) - 7:05 p.m. ET

Pitching matchup

DET: LHP Nate Robertson (0-0, 9.00 ERA)
Robertson doesn't have a good history at Fenway Park, going 1-2 with a 7.56 ERA there, and he was in trouble early and often in his first start of the season, against the White Sox last Friday. But if he can focus on changing speeds like Jeremy Bonderman before him, he has a chance to keep the Red Sox offense in check.

BOS: RHP Tim Wakefield (0-0, 4.50 ERA)
Wakefield's first start of the year went a lot better than his pitching line would indicate. The 41-year-old knuckleballer threw five shutout innings against the Blue Jays before running into trouble in the sixth.

Tidbits
The Tigers have a chance to take a series at Fenway Park for the second
time in three years. ... Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis is 5-for-13 lifetime against Robertson, with two home runs and four RBIs.
... Professional wrestler Kurt Angle is expected to be in attendance as a guest of Curtis Granderson, who met him at a show taping during Spring Training.

Tigers will win again Thursday Night!

GO TIGERS GO!

Yes they will! Go Tigers! Show me i'm right with my vote!

Or prove us wrong, whichever!

I won't watch. So there is a high probability for a Tigers win!

Except catbox is watching...

our FSN + channel doesn't list it...only a replay on FSN from 11 PM until 2 AM...
any port in a storm, I guess!

Maybe he won't, neither of us watched last night and he said he might not watch until they win at least 2. I watched the fish yesterday and they won, maybe I'll watch them again tonight and just watch the box for the Tigers like I did yesterday, @ myself being so superstitious :haha:

great emoticon in your signature, Soul!

:haha: I was going to put a different one with a whip, but I thought this one was cute

It's neat because it has both "bases" covered!

:haha: He's not a very happy camper A WEEE bit happier with the tigers though.

What cable provider do you have?

Comcast

It should be on 900 or 901, but you need to have digital service which might explain why you can't get it. If you switch to WOW you can get it on channel 14 (without having to get digital service...).

I just came back from a couple of beers with my friends and will go to bed now.
Have a great game! I want to see that 2nd win when i get up and check the scoreboard!

Go Nate! Go Offense! Go Bullpen! Go Tigers! Go dtf1 board! Go admins! Go all other members!

Our FSN+ channel is actually the home shopping network so I would just turn it to the channel at the game time it might be on.

Maybe Kurt Angle will bring us some luck tonight.

I'll check 900 and 901. The listings say something else, but they've been incorrect before!
