The 41K sheeple ... er, Tigers fans, who waited through tonight's two and a half hours or rain and wind and lightning to see baseball deserve a pass. Justin Verlander was pitching, and when he takes the ball, anything can happen. The Tigers might even win.
Win they did, 5-1, led by Cabrera's two homers and double, and Austin Jackson's 3 for 3.
Jackson, still The Man, third in the American League in hitting with a .329 average, is arguably the most deserving AL player who isn't going to next week's All-Star game. Third in OPS, seventh in slugging, leads in triples, plays Gold Glove defense, not good enough even with a 34 man roster. But Me Tarzan Yu Darvish gets to go, voted in by the sheeple as player #34. Eight Texas Rangers being better than seven, I guess, and do they really need 13 pitchers on the squad?
