Bullet Bob Davidson is working 1st base tonight. That means he's going to be behind the plate tomorrow. Get ready for a gong show tomorrow afternoon.

All credit goes to the Detroit News for this post.

Possible roster move coming right after tonight's game:

Dirks to the DL?

In a nutshell, Dirks was scratched from tonight's lineup, due to his nagging Achilles. Meanwhile, in Toledo, Matt Young was taken out of tonight's game early and was seen hugging teammates. If you put 2 and 2 together, it looks like Dirks to DL and Young to Detroit.

One problem: Young is not on the 40-man, so another roster move needs to be made to accommodate him. All signs point to Don Kelly.

Part 3 of tonight's doings: Ryan Raburn got a big ovation before his first at bat. Then he grounded into a double play. I'm not creative enough to make that up.

Matt Young is 29. Don't expect him to move mountains.

Crosby is done after 3.1. Mediocre outing at the very best, and even that is grading with a big curve. The kid's not ready yet.

I'm going to throw a name out there, and just file it away.

James Avery. Erie Seawolves. RHP. 28 years old in a week and a half.

Christ Almighty, Gump. Don't go diving into first base. Now, if you were hurt before the dive, you get a free pass, but don't do that on purpose.

UPDATE: Now Gump is out with a hammy injury.

Follow that up by killing a 2 on, no out rally in TWO PITCHES.

Well, when Cabrera hits the ball hard, and there's puff of dirt in front of home plate right afterwards, you know it's a bad sign.

GIDP to end it.

Let's be honest, we should probably just trade him now. Nothing good can come out of having a Crosby in Detroit.

All right. Got a beautiful night. The doors and windows are open in the house. Getting ready for a nice game......

Let's see just how big of a ****show this turns out to be.

Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 3 - The Alan Trammell version

Uh-oh.

We're playing with a 1-man bench tonight: Santiago. Laird and Dirks are unavailable (which we already knew) and Avila has a sore hamstring. We didn't make a move last night. Our emergency catcher is playing left field tonight.

This could be ugly.

You totally forgot the "Buck and McCarver calling the game" part.
