Pitching matchup

DET: LHP Dontrelle Willis (10-15, 5.17 ERA)
Willis will make his American League debut in front of a home crowd and
FOX network regional television audience. He had one start against the
White Sox in Interleague play last year, but he exited after two
innings with elbow soreness and three runs allowed.

CWS: RHP Gavin Floyd (1-5, 5.27 ERA)
Packed with potential,
Floyd struggled early last year but looked sharp down the stretch,
posting a 3.41 ERA in his final six starts. Floyd has made four career
starts against Detroit, going 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA.

Tidbits
Placido Polanco is 5-for-10 in his career against Floyd. ... The Tigers
have gone 5-for-37 this season with runners in scoring position. ...
Clete Thomas has five hits in his first nine Major League at-bats. ...
The last time Detroit started 0-4 was 2003, the year it lost an
American League-record 119 games.

Yeah, I don't see it anywhere either

Thats what 97.1 said! I liked raburn!

It only happened about an hour ago. And Leyland said it on the radio.

That doesn't make any sense

We need Raburn!

Oh wait - Leyland hates him. That's right. I guess it does make sense.

Who'd they call up?

I know! especially with Granderson out. Raburn can play a bunch of different positions, and he is an okay hitter

I don't rememeber... let me think... I think a pitcher. I'm not positive though. I don't remember the name

They should have sent Grilli down

Yah, but Leyland likes Grilli and hates Raburn....

from Det News:

The addition of Beltran gives the Tigers 13 pitchers
on the active roster and prompted the team to move outfielder Ryan
Raburn to Toledo.

THIRTEEN pitchers?!?! What for?

Willis, get it together, man!

Walks first batter

Swisher walks on 8 pitches

Marting K's in the Dodger game - 2 up and 2 Peavy K's. We need Peavy

One out
