Then there is Justin Verlander!! Is there anyone except for maybe Halladay more dominant right now? Wow, last pitch of the game was 98 as he blew away thome and Fields to end the game.

I don't blame Bonderman either, having major surgery to clear a blood clot is more than normal circumstances.
Looks like he has to finish what he starts if he wants to WIN one.
Incase you missed it, JV won the Player of the month award for last month.
He pitched well, but had NO support.
Look at the first few weeks of this year as well as the Spring , he couldn't pitch to win a game in ST to save his life, but he kept telling people to NOT worry.
If I recall correctly, they found that JV. was landing in a different spot on the mound last year, thus his arm angle was wrong to boot.
It's always been apparent that Verlander has extraordinary talent, and it is really shining this season. Maybe some credit is due to the new pitching coach. Justin pitched well last year, but what he is doing now is unbelievable. Let's hope it continues.
Don't be too cocky. The Tribe is like a patient snake waiting in the grass.
Is this the same patience you guys displayed last season?
Last year you guys waited until you were out of the running.Sorry, got to get in my shots while I can.
I think the new pitching coach has a LOT to do with it, obviously the last one couldn't figure out what was wrong last year.
JV and Ed Jackson seem to have a good , "If you can do it, so can I" attitude going this year, it's very good for both of them to push one another.
Psssttt.... To the rest of the world, WE'RE NOT ABANDONING SHIP YET!!!!!! Don't expect us to just hand you our talent! We're still in this thing!
And I ask again...WHAT IS WITH THEM DAMN BIRDS @ the Jake???? Ball in play hits a bird, distracts Crisp in the OF and DeRo scores the winning run! One for the books.
But seriously, there is a problem with gulls this year in a few parks like Cleveland and San Fran. They come in right at the 7th inning like clockwork and get progressively more aggressive thru the game.

Shades of the 2006 World Series watching how the Tiger's lost last night. Zumaya needs more fielding practice. How does a guy who can throw 100MPH missiles to home plate, blow a 10' underhand throw to first?
After the ball struck the bird, it should have been called a fowl ball!
Thankfully, the bird did fly off seemingly only losing a few feathers.
In my "Cheesy" announce voice, Porcello helps his own cause last night, with a couple of hits and some solid pitching for the win over pitsburgh, how intresting was that the Tigers were playing pitsburgh as well as the wings in the cup final. I wonder how many times that has happend in sports?
We won the wrong game.
I've got the answer to the tiger's hitting woes - just hand a bat to Porcello every game.
Hard to believe this kid was fanning high school kids just 2 years ago. An amazing talent.

They said last night that he was a SS earlier in his career, HS ?
Word out of Jacob's Field is that from now on, they will let off some fireworks every half an inning to clear the birds from the field of play.
