Justin Verlander has arrived.  I know many of us here in Detroit believe he had arrived by tossing two career no-hitters; or by winning 24-games; or by claiming both the Cy Young and MVP in the same season....but he had always been saddled with a mediocre post season record.  Before Thursday's ALDS clinching gem, Verlander had never thrown a complete game in the playoffs; before last night's masterpiece he was a five hundred post season pitcher; and before the clincher, he was forced to deal with unfavorable comparisons to Jack Morris and Mickey Lolich.  Now, Verlander is their equal.  One game can do that, or maybe one series can do that.  Verlander's 22 strikeouts in the two wins against the A's was a new divisional series record.  He is the only Tigers pitcher to have multiple double digit strikeout games in a playoff series.  It was the best game he's ever pitched because of the circumstances and what was at stake.  Tigers fans collectively would always argue that they had the "best pitcher in baseball," but were allowed some slight concern, knowing that Verlander had never really given them that special outing in post season play.  They and he now have it.  Justin Verlander on Thursday, throwing 122 pitches; 83 for strikes, carried the Tigers to victory, like Jack Morris did in 1984 and Mickey Lolich in 1968, even like Frank Tanana did in 1987 in his 1-0 win in game #162 against Toronto.  He is the best in the game...and when all is said and done...he might be the best the organization has ever had and Tigers fans now have their proof.
