Verlander blows it again: Pitches a one-hitter today. What's with that guy?
Every time he goes out he should pitch a no-hitter, and instead he gave up a hit today. 15-5 with a miniscule ERA and struck out just 9 in 8 innings. What a loser. Think any other teams but the Tigers would want that in their rotation? He gives up a hit or two nearly every start. Geez.

2. Awful
So sick of this guy. I mean, the Angels scored their first run without a hit. The trade deadline might have passed but we could still flat out release him...and his teammate Cabrera (0-3), too.

I smell 20 wins for the first time in 20 years around these parts.

3. Welcome to DU, pizzadave. Where have you been?
We need you here. Plus, the Lions may actually be good this year.

Stick around, dude.

5. Faygo
I've been around drinking Redpop and Rock n Rye and lurking for 10 years or so. Lions...dunno? I fall for that trap every year but will be on board.

9. Mmmm Sander's
Like how Sander's shops are popping back up. Had a puff the other day in Novi and got my water in the paper cone, too. So good!!

4. That was a crazy game
But I'm glad the Tigers won and a Cy Young award is sure looking like a possibility. Yay, JV!

7. I wonder if he'll clear waivers when they send him down?
It sounds like he may need a little more "seasoning" in AAA. :sarcasm:

8. What A Scrub!
One Hitter! Pfffffft! And he made an error. Tigers might as well release him!

Really though: Is he a stud, or what?

10. He's great
I haven't put in a serious effort in fantasy baseball in two months and I'm still in first place. He is a big reason why.

13. And I like your dog, Buddy Guy, too, Backwoods Bob.
Posted on your other thread, but you are right about Verlander.

16-5. Unless he blows up, he's a lock for the Cy Young Award.
