Now he has Raburn playing 2B when he couldn't even crack .200 in AAA? What the hell is going on? Leyland please explain!!!!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Pitcher gets hurt so naturally we bring up a bad outfielder and play him at 2B.

 

[spockmaster]

wood is pitching terribly and is a lefty, i guess leyland figures raburn can hit him? after hitting .190 at AAA Raburn might just be done though. my guess is theyre going to give him another short shot since we have noone else to bring up from toledo and if he fails he's gone.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Is our new 30 something strike out king still on the roster?

yeah. he will probably go down when fister comes back saturday.

 

[bassburns]

Let Matt Young play 2B.........lol.........someone help us!

Matt Young makes Raburn look like Ted Williams.

Matt Young makes Raburn look like Ted Williams.

Matt Young made Brad Eldred look like a good idea. :ashamed:

 

[Mitchrapp]

If anyone argues for a player and gives me his ml numbers I'm going to point out Matt Young.

So, anyone think Verlander gets his hit today?

 

[tazmac]

Tigers win 1-0. Verlander goes yard.

I really, really, really, hope Verlander is not the sum total of our offense, as nice as it would be to see him put one over the ivy.

Leyland on radio show: Raburn brought up because team is desperate for another RH hitter, similar to the Santos callup.

And Fister will be brought up After Fridays game, roster move after the game. (GTFO Matt Young)

I'm with ya on that, I am hoping it will be a laugher by the 5th inning in the Tigers favor.

Raburn is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>

Everybody sing!!!!!!!!!!! My new rallying cry is 1-0 after yesterday!!!!!!!!!!>>>>>>

 

[buddyboy2121]

Just because we all hate Raburn so much he will hit a home run in his first at bat.

 

[Thumb]

Wonder if Raburn goes down after tomorrows game?

They can only option him before he gets 10 more days on an MLB roster.

 

[biggunsbob]

I hope Raburn goes 5-5 with four infield singles and a grand slam!!!!!!!!!

Good start.

Drive him in Boesch.
