Off Day Procrastination... er, Productivity: Tiger Nicknames Series Entry One: Ryan Raburn

Striking out on the road, at the plate and everywhere else!

My parents bought a Dodge (Plymouth) K car in the 1980s, when I was in elementary school. I thought the boxy car looked like crap but it had power locks and for a kid like me, those locks were amazing fun.

I later learned the K car series was actually a pile of garbage because they were unreliable and prone to screw up in major ways.

Watching Ryan Raburn brought back memories of the K car and thus, Raburn has been christened, by me, as Reliant K. Helping this nickname out is the fact Raburn strikes out almost as much as Austin Jackson!

Tomorrow the Tigers begin a series against the Chicago Wrong Sox; I hate those guys! Dey stink!
