Pitch Good… lack hitting, Hit good… Lack Pitching…

Justin Verlander is off crying somewhere today

He and his team suffered the plague of losing yesterday after the marvelous game on Saturday.  It was a game that Justin handed to his team, pitching 7 innings and only giving up 1 run.  Then Cruceta came in, and the wheels fell off.  A grand slam later and this was marked as another loss in the Tigs column.
I’m not gonna write much about this game, except a few notes:

-  Verlander looked strong. Period.  Finally seems to be turning the corner this season and he deserved a win yesterday.

-  Cabrera must have the most silent .276 i’ve ever seen… He still seems to be struggling at the plate to a point of embarassment  … maybe Lloyd McClendon will get off his ass and try to keep his job by getting this superstar to hit the cover off the ball again.

-  Sheffield has been hitting… THANK GOD! Hope he stays this way… cuz $13 million and batting .216 don’t add up …

-  This offense is the most rollercoaster offense I think that I’ve ever seen… 19 runs on Saturday followed up by 1 run (on a Guillen HR) on Sunday? REALLY?????

-  Am I the only person that misses Jair Jurrjens? Was he worth giving up for an aging Renteria?

-I Love this picture from the Tigers MVN blog… very amazing
