Detroit contra Boston - Evil Hosiery Finally Get Their Come Uppance

Don Kelly - CALLED SHOT WIZARD enters baseball's mythical panthenon.

Justin Verlander stepped onto the mound this evening with the Tigers having humiliated themselves against this Red Sox team all season. So what does Justin "Miracle World" Verlander do? He pitches 7.2 innings of shut out baseball.

Verlander, working with a 2-0 lead, threw 7038 pitches while sterilizing Kevin Douchinski, to the relief of the entire world. Yet, there was a more important story to this game. Don Kelly - UPSTAGING WIZARD, went up to the plate with a runner on second and one out in the bottom of the 8th. Kelly stared down the nameless Red Sox sludge abomination and pointed to a spot just beyond the infield dirt; he was calling his shot!

After making such a bold declaration, Kelly sort of made some contact and delivered a single! Miguel scored and the Tigers took a 3-0 lead. Then they won the game! Coincidence? Not likely!

The Tigers are once again .500, so that's something!
