Most Detroit Tigers fans have come to accept the fact that Justin Verlander is no longer wearing the Old English D. Not that they really have much of a choice.
On August 31, just minutes before the Major League Baseball trade deadline, Verlander was dealt to the Houston Astros for a trio of prospects. It was a very difficult morning for Tigers fans who woke up to find out that JV was no longer on the team. But now that some time has gone by and the regular season has ended, many of us have begun rooting for Verlander to win the World Series title that he was not able to get in Detroit.
After the Astros defeated the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Monday night to advance to the ALCS, Verlander is now one step closer to glory.
Following the game, Verlander tweeted out the following photo of him celebrating in the Astros clubhouse.

Nation, what was your first response to this photo? Were you bummed out? Happy?
I’m not bummed. I like the guy, he can win playoff games. I will be bummed if he finally figures out how to win World Series Games…Something he couldn’t figure out in his last 2 trips
It’s his feed, so he can post what he wants. He seems a bit of a narcissist though. It’s kind of funny that almost every picture on his Twitter feed incorporates himself in some way, often focusing on himself.
This picture is the latest. #openingday with a picture of himself or #independenceday with a military camo jersey of his and many more. I’m still halfway rooting for him though and don’t dislike him overall but given what I can discern, I won’t be sad if he doesn’t play a significant part in the Astros winning a WS.
Always been my Tiger since he arrived in Detroit. Very happy for him
Very happy for JV!!! Always been a fan of his!!! Get that ring JV!!!
Wonder if he will re-paint is Ferraris. He has 2 painted Tiger orange.
Good for him I hope he wins it all !
