  1. Big V looked great yesterday. (They were on ESPN so us out of towners got to see.
    Particularly nice to see him pitch out of a jam. Leyland called him "jumpy" or out of sorts or something. With all respect, I disagree. This is spring training. I wouldn't want to see him blow out his shoulder in such a game. He had a few run lead; throw strikes, let them hit it, and see what happens. He can do that every day in the season, if it were up to me!

  2. I was on the field near the Detroit dugout. Don't know if JV had problems w/ the mound or the ump but at one point he went to 3-0 on a Braves hitter and I clearly heard him yell, "God damn it!"

  3. We all have our days. He's a competitor if it's spring training, the World Series, or playing checkers with a neighbor!
