So much for patience

After praising the Tigers for their improved base-on-balls rate, they fail to pick up a free pass from Daniel Cabrera! Heretofore, this was thought impossible.

Do you know when Cabrera last pitched a game without giving up a walk? Me either, because it's never happened during his major league career, which dates back to 2004. He's averaged 5.5 BB/9 IP lifetime.

Meanwhile, Chad Durbin, who moved into the rotation because of Kenny Rogers' injury, lived up to his past performances. He gave up 6 ER. Rogers only once last year gave up 6 or more runs in a start, so Chad's gonna have to buckle down from here.

Somewhere I read that Chad Durbin is healthy this season for the first time in a while; which, was followed by the statement that a healthy Chad Durbin is still Chad Durbin.
