A note to headline writers at MLB.com: Do not begin a headline "Justin Verlander hurt ..." unless you want to cause Tigers fans to hyperventilate by the third word. What's next? "Verlander injured by the longball"?
OK, on to the game.
Nevermind, I just looked at the box score. Can we skip that part of the recap and get straight to the comment of the night?
No?
Darn.
Well, Austin Jackson had a hit and stole a base. Manager Jim Leyland decided to greenlight his leadoff batter to see how his instincts are before the season begins. Jeff Larish had the Tigers' other two hits. Thus concludes the highlights.
The lowlights? Verlander and Phil Coke will be in a lot of Phillies' highlight reels as Phillies prospect Domonic Brown homered off both.
OK, now can we get to the comment of the night? Good.
Comment of the Night
Brandon Inge will make a good politician some day, because you either love him or you hate him. The haters win the day with 4 recs on this one by Scarlet P:
based on the way his knees buckled
he’s fully healthy

What I want to know, what the Whole World wants to know . . .
. . . is whether ChrisDTX will run out of Coke jokes before the end of spring training.
Unless he gets rid of his addiction
I don’t know if Leyland will be able to live without Coke.

I, for one,
am a bit tired of all the Coke jokes – and ashamed that I used one myself during today’s gamethread. But, I am giving myself an assist on ScarletP’s COTN, so it’s all good.
It'll get worse
Just wait until Bobby Seay’s healthy

Even when he's not healthy,
we seayze every opportunity.
In a long distance relationship with the Tigers--and, yes, we're doing fine.
I know for sure
…that I’ll be CokeSeaying a joke out of practically every situation I can.

I don't think they measure HR distance in spring training
Jason Beck retweeted this, though:
Off Verlander. RT @jaysonst: I think Domonic Brown’s first homer as a Phillie just hit a Prius on the lot of the Toyota dealer across Rt 19.

Going back to my Boesch comment in the Game Thread
Brown wins 50 bucks for hitting it over the highway

Who pays for the damages?
President, Vice President and Secretary of the Casey Crosby Fanclub.

Verlander to get tommy-john surgery, career over
If he keeps pitching like he did today.
Gotta love headlines.
HOLY %*$(
I just had a heart attack reading that.

"I like Coke," Leyland said.
Actual post-game quote.

Hopefully Coke will not give up a homerun to the Pepsi Porch once he gets to Comerica Park

Oh!
A new direction with the Coke jokes. Classy.

Totally off-topic
But we do not play a weekend series in Minnesota all year. I was hoping to go visit my friend in Minny and go to Target Field.
That is disappointing.
I was going to try and do the same thing.

Target Field?
So before the game do the teams take Target Practice? When the Tigers win can we say (Seay if a certain RP was involved) they were right on Target?

I'm surprised.
I’d think that with the rivalry between the two they would organize at least one weekend series for Detroit.
You could try a looong Labor Day weekend
