When are we going to realize that number 35 is not the answer on the mound? Yes, I agree that he is the ace of the Tigers staff, but give me a break Justin. You want to pussy foot around on the mound like you did last night? This is absolutely puzzling. I’m starting to question Justin’s commitment to the Tigers. Until he can prove to me that he was deserving of a seven year deal, he should be in the minor leagues, because when you have a hitter at 0-2 you should be a bulldog and give him the high heat. Instead, you allowed Oakland to score five runs, and you lost the game because of it. Mr. Leyland answer me this question. Why is Phil in Toledo and not Verlander? He clearly did not have his head on right. Luckly for the Tigers, Cleveland continues to falter and may basically give Detroit the Central Division even though the Tigers just want to throw it away. How are the Tigers going to play with the Tribe when they come to Detroit this weekend? Justin Verlander used to be one of my favorite Tigers, but this reporter is not in the mood to pussy foot around with his opinions. If I was the pitching coach of the Tigers, I would be questioning Justin’s commitment and send him to the Mud Hens. Verlander is a story within himself. It used to be a sure thing whenever he was on the mound, you could expect him to throw upwards of a 120 pitches. I think it’s about time for the Oakland A’s to get the real Tigers. What in the world is going on in Comerica Park? Until we see the real Tigers, I will be questioning their commitment. This was the series that this reporter thought the Tigers could sweep at Comerica. The time for pussy footing around is over. Will the real Detroit Tigers step forward please? It is absolutely inexcusable that we should even be in the position to split the series. The Tigers should be up 2-0 on Oakland, but because of the way they are pussy footing around, they are in an 0-2 hole.
