For the reasons you'd expect -- he's kind of a loudmouth egotistical smug know-it-all. Or anyway he comes off that way to many people. And when you think you have a good team and it keeps losing, you almost always have an inclination to blame the manager. Also, there are still many Tito-lovers and they resent Bobby V.

Thomas in right field - J. Keppinger hit for S. Rodriguez - J. Keppinger singled to shallow center - R. Brignac struck out swinging - D. Jennings singled to shallow right, J. Keppinger to third (Maybe Justin is tiring? Why not bring in your closer, who's very good) - C. Pena walked, D. Jennings to second, J. Keppinger scored on wild pitch (Hello, Valverde time!) - E. Longoria singled to shallow left, D. Jennings scored, C. Pena to second - D. Schlereth relieved J. Verlander (tied up, past closer time, I guess) - E. Johnson hit for M. Joyce - E. Johnson walked, C. Pena to third, E. Longoria to second - J. Valverde relieved D. Schlereth (Now? WTF? When it was a save situation Valverde was perfect last season, not so in none save situations) - B. Zobrist singled to shallow center, C. Pena and E. Longoria scored, E. Johnson to second (And history repeats) Verlander had given up 1 hit and 1 BB through 8, so guess it was ok to let him start, but this is odd:

For A-Gon, Youk, and Papi to try to tie it up (trailing by two). Adrian flies out, runners advance, now a hit will tie it. Youk strikes out.
