This Is Why We Love Baseball

Tigers Entertain Another Sold Out Crowd and Win

Justin Verlander continues to amaze us.  He pitched perfect ball until the 8th inning
and then it seemed like the wheels fell off the cart.  It was not all his fault, though.

This was probably the most screwed up run-down in the history of baseball
since Abner Doubleday.  Stupid.  Stupid.  Stupid.

How can a guy pitch so brilliantly for 7 hot innings and then simply go deaf and dumb?  If you were at Comerica Park or even at CUBS' AC watching on the big screens you saw exactly how that is possible.

We got a split with the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday which is O.K., but we also showed the "clown" side of a team which has got to get more serious at this point in the season.  We hope this new blood coming in after the trades will bring some sanity.

Tempers flared and the Angels' Jered Weaver even got thrown out of the game for having a bad attitude.  That was something which everybody could literally feel coming.  Carlos Guillen stood tall and taunted Weaver after he hit his dinger in the bottom of the 7th and it was off to the races.

Too bad that a "brat attitude" seems to be the way to elevate popularity and prop up attendance anymore.  Is it necessary??

We've got a one day break on Monday and then it's back to the grind at Woodward Avenue (actually Witherell and E. Adams and Montcalm) when the Tigers take on Texas and we are going to see it LIVE on the big screens at CUBS' AC.

GO TIGERS!!
Have another Miller Lite.  You'll feel better.
