Verlander

Mr. V. finally was able to get the credit for his good stuff this year last night.  Congrats to Verlander, who mowed down the Yankees giving up no runs (who even though the Red Sox swept, gave up a LOT of runs).  Justin looks like the pitcher of 2006-2007 again, and now that he has a victory in his back pocket for confidence, it should produce a lot more.

I’ve been on vacation since that Seattle series, but I have managed to watch all the games.  That Angels series was ugly.  Just bad baseball; and we couldn’t get it done.  The Royals series was a huge improvement, and an important stepping stone to finally getting sole posession of first place.  Let’s keep it for a while, shall we?
