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
