I do enjoy how backloaded the Indians-Tigers schedule is - 11 more of these things to go in the last 49 games.

Verlander toyed with them last meeting in Detroit. I do remember in '07 we hit him hard a few times in that race. He's a heckuva lot better now though, not that he wasn't still good back then.

Yeah, 2 hit shutout striking out 12 in June!! Went back and looked at 2007 game log and we went 4-1 against him. We scored 7 against him 3 times and hit 6 homers off him. times change, don't they!!
