Filthy, and JV just made a statement against the Yanks. 8 IP, 0ER and 14Ks, he'll be the lead story on ESPN tonight.

We are witness to once in a lifetime players Cabrera and Verlander.

 

[manchild98]

If he hadn't made that error he would probably be pitching the 9th.

DY walks.

 

[tazmac]

Ichiro strikes out 3 times and now DY walks? What the fuck is going on around here?

Tonight JV passes old timer George Mullin for 6th with 1381 strikeouts, 25 more strikeouts and JV ties Bunning for 5th on Tigers career leader board 1406.

I agree. Both the best I've ever seen in a Tiger's uniform, that only goes back to the 70s, but still.

1958 Jim Bunning K'ed 14 Yanks. Great job for Verlander.

Vern was nasty today..Glad to see him pitch well on National TV.

As people have already said, Cabby and Vern are two of the best if not the best Tigers I've ever seen. I am glad to be able to watch them day in day out.
