JV’s third no-hitter would have been a nice saving grace to an otherwise dismal season. It was no to be. However, I think it is safe to say Verlander is back to being a legitimate ace. He was smokin balls, all night. He had legitimate no-hit stuff. He made one mistake to a .188 hitter and didn’t get any luck. That’s the way this season has gone for him. The Tigers did get him some runs so got his second win of the season.
Yes my friends, Miggy is that damn good and for the last two seasons, J.D. is just a notch, maybe two below; he’s pretty damn good too.
Miggy, J.D. and Castellanos each hit conniption shots. Do you remember yesterday when I asked why would the Angels pitch to Cabrera in the eighth? Why would they pitch to him with first base open today? They must don’t know. They got burned today.
I’d like to see Miggy win the batting title at .350 +. I’d like to see J.D. drive in 100+ runs. I’d like Castellanos to get to 20 home runs and JV finish with an ERA at 3.20 or less. These are the things that keep me watching.
Jose Miguel Cabrera is that damn good. Let’s hope he stays healthy.
Nebraska, I wish I could have joined you Pal. I miss you! You didn’t by any chance cough up $12 for 3 chicken fingers did you? 🙂

I was forced to continue to buy “good luck beers”…sadly that prevented me from indulging in the guilty pleasure…but it was worth it to watch Trouts last at bat
Unfortunately I didn’t get to watch this one.. For those of you who remember I suggested back in spring training JV was going to have a bounce-back year.. His injury is the biggest reason this season went off the tracks.. Saw him throw in January and he passed the eyeball test.. Too bad for him pitching on this team for the next several years will cost him several wins and no chance at HOF status.
