Tigers 4, White Sox 2: Detroit and the Central race are heating up, but Justin Verlander?s in the same groove he found in July 2010. He gave up a 2-run HR in the 3rd, but his mates answered with 3 in the home half off Jake Peavy (4 ER in 7 IP). The Tigers hit no HRs, but went 6 for 13 with RISP, including 3 in a row with 2 outs in that 3rd inning.
Detroit has won 11 of 13 and trails Chicago by just a half-game. They?ve scored 4 to 8 runs in 16 of their last 17 games.
The Sox will fire back Saturday with their young ace, Chris Sale (2.11 ERA, 4 runs in his last 4 starts). Detroit gave him one of his two losses back in April, but current Tigers are just 8 for 45 career off Sale.
Verlander since July 2010 (71 starts): 44-14, 2.50 ERA, 7.34 IP/G, 8.95 SO/9, 4.11 SO/BB. He?s gone 6+ IP in 62 straight starts. The next-longest streaks since 2010 are 42 by Roy Halladay and 32 by Jered Weaver and Brett Myers.
Maybe he should report in January? Verlander (who is once again the winningest pitcher since 2006) has an 11-15 record and 4.37 ERA in April, when legend says ?the pitchers are ahead of the hitters.? In all other months, he?s 107-47, 3.25.
With this win JV now has 118 wins as a Tiger, and is tied for 12th all-time with Tigers great Jim Bunning. Verlander also needs just 50 more strikeouts to move into 5th place all-time on the Tigers strikeouts list and past Bunning there as well.

100 mph plus a check swing equals a broken bat.

Sweet Move!!!!
Alot of guys are using Rancor again and walkers and Phantasmal image, and lots of other cards that Bob does not have. although i do have plenty of Rancor's i could make a deck with... had fun and stayed in a few matches.. I milled a guy around 20 cards but could not get his Grand Architect in his graveyard so i could remove all 4 from the game...I probably would have won that game if I would have been luck to enough to get it in the graveyard.. The second guy I played showed me 5 EDH decks worth over 2 grand... One deck was 800 all by itself... Bob realized that he needs to go back to the kiddie table... But what the heck i will try again next week if I can..
