Joba Chamberlain made his first start for us today. He was lights out in AAA just like Andy Phillips and Tyler Clippard, so we decided to give them a chance in the majors. It wasn't the best performance by Joba, but he still getting used to pitching against big league hitters. He went 6 innings giving up 7 earned runs, then his minor league teammate, Tyler Clippard came in. He went 3 innings giving up 2 runs.

I have been really unhappy with Mike Mussina's 2007 season. He is not producting the way we want him to. If he isn't able to turn it around soon, I wont have a choice but to trade him. We lost to another blowout 10-3. 6 of the 10 runs given up were charged to Mussina. His ERA is up to 6.23. Hopefully, he can turn this around.

Thank god for Matt DeSalvo, he has been lights out this year. DeSalvo pitched 4.1 innings giving up no earned runs. He has lowered his ERA down to 0.91. If Mike Mussina doesn't have a good performance in his next game, Matt may move into the starting rotation.

His average increased from .167 to .211 in the last week. The bad news from todays game is, Alex Rios has a foot stress fracture and will be out two weeks.

Placido Polanco had a 5 hit night, and every Tiger had at least one base hit. We took another series though on the brightside. If we keep doing that, we'll be fine. Atlanta is up next!

Tonight's game was all about the longball. There were a total of 6 home runs, 5 from Atlanta, 1 from us. Jason Giambi hit it for us coming off the bench to pinch hit for Mike Mussina. Mussina went 2.2 innings, giving up 8 earned runs. I think its his age and his velocity is decreasing. He's been hit hard so far this season, which isn't a good sign.

Atlanta embarrased us this weekend...We lost this game on a walkoff homerun by Brian McCann. Chris Capuano hasn't been pitching to great ever since we signed him during the offseason. We have an off day tomorrow to get our minds straight and then we begin a 6 game homestand.
