The time off has really hurt the Tigers. Verlander, who routinely hits 100 mph, was throwing 85 mph- I couldn't believe it, I thought the gun was off. By the 4th, he was up in the low 90's. He served up a mid 80's fastie to the Meat Head and got rocked.
Look for Jeff Weaver (aka Dream Weaver) to be very emotional tonight, he grew up in the Tigers organization and was the ace of the staff until they sht canned him cause they thought he had head problems...something about pot, booz and sexual escapades on board the Tigers jet.
I hope for the Cards sake that the team chemist comes up big. After all, this is the organization who featured a 6'5" roid monster- complete with acne, hair loss and other signs of roid abuse and packaged him as baseball's great hope.
To bad they can't test for HGH or other designer meds, if they could- Meat Head would be back on the Island where he came from.
