Congrats, Mr. Dirks!

[SubGod22]

Hope he gets a decent look while he's up and produces. If Mags ankle is really a big problem this could turn into a hell of an opportunity for Dirks.

[AG1219]

Awesome!

Really wish he could have made it up at the beginning of the year so we could have seen him in Yankee Stadium on Opening Day.

[RoyalShock]

Hopefully, he'll wait until after this weekend to truly hit well. :)

Dirks is bad to tha bone ... just like our Geology Department

Awesome!

Now we get to see him play the Royals! On local television! (in Kansas, anyway)

[SubGod22]

Sounds like we probably won't see him today. I think the team had already left Toledo for Gwinnett, GA and he's expected to arrive in Detroit sometime during the game.

Great news. I figured he would get called up sometime this season.

Hopefully he can make the most of this opportunity.

GO DIRKSEY!

Dirks is batting 2nd and playing LF tonight for the Tigers.

[1972Shocker]

Good luck, Andy. Go get 'em tiger!

[shocker3]

Andy walks in his first at bat in the show!

[shocker3]

Andy is now batting 1.000 in the major leagues! He got a single in his second at bat!

[ShockU89]

Great. They pinch-hit for Andy in the 8th becuase they brought in a lefty. I missed his earlier at-bats because I forgot it was on. Oh well, hopefully I get another shot to see him while he's up in the BIGS.

[1979Shocker]

He ended up 1-2 with a walk.

Hopefully this takes you to the video of his first hit.
