With the Tigers holding on to the slimmest of leads over the Tribe, to say that this series is huge is a big understatement. Also, to say that Scherzer is becoming a sure thing for the Tigers is another understatement. 8-0 doesn’t lie about the way that Mad Max is performing. His performance early in this season has been outstanding! You would think that Justin Verlander would act like an ace of the Tigers pitching staff, but so far the roles have been nothing but the exact opposite. Here we have a former CY Young winner who is struggling, but meanwhile we have a young St. Louis Missouri native who is out-pitching Verlander. He has all the qualities that Justin used to have. Why not let him be the ace of the staff rather than Verlander? It seems to me that Verlander just doesn’t have it anymore and Max does. Of course as soon as I say that, Justin will be angry and come out throwing and surprise me. Until I see or hear otherwise from Dan Dickerson, this is what I’m going to go with. Yesterday was another superb performance from the young Missourian. It was nice yesterday to hear something about Victor Martinez. When you listen to a Tigers broadcast for the whole game, you will hear Mr. Jim Price talk about the art of pitching. Right now, I think that Justin needs his head examined, because the Tigers didn’t sign you to a seven year deal for you to pussy foot around when you are on the mound. They gave you that deal so you can look like the ace that you are supposed to be! I don’t know whether you need to do a little work with Mr. Jones? I just don’t know what your deal is, but I have been totally unimpressed with you when you get placed on the mound. Maybe the money that you got is talking to you a little too much? Or maybe you need to go to Toledo to realize what you have for awhile? I never thought I would say that about Justin, but his pitching lately is just awful. Congratulations, Max on win number eight! I hope we get to see Mad Max on the mound for the Tigers when they come my way. Max or Anibal would be fine by me! Justin can sit in the dugout and watch when they play the Twins, then we don’t have to worry about him pussy footing around.
