Yesterday, we discovered that Twitter did not take kindly to Jose Valverde's game four blown save. You know what Twitter likes? Justin Verlander and his 11K complete game shutout in game five.
From the man himself.

USA! USA! USA!
Justin Verlander is the epitome of an American. Eats taco bell, has the arm of a God, bangs Kate Upton. Wins, wins, and wins.

When you lose to the best, you still lose.
A's should take a bow. No shame in going down to verlander. Great year by oakland, but best division in mlb is now out.

Literally.
If I tried to take Verlander out he literally would have killed me. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say literally, either

That wasn't a joke.
“@chrisvannini: Verlander was asked by Pedro Gomez if Leyland talked to him about coming out of tonight's game. "No, he knew better."” #JV

Newspaper of record.
Justin Verlander just gave Oakland a tiny hint of hope so that he could take it and crush it with his massive Tiger paws.

You know like nun-chuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills.
Verlander is the best pitcher and most skilled in the mlb

Uh, close enough?
So, Biden threw a shutout against the As and Verlander slapped around Paul Ryan.Thanks, Thursday night.

No.
#Verlander have my babies
— Andy Krawczyk (@Krawzilla) October 12, 2012
Yes.
Do you think #Biden was smiling because he was actually watching #verlander pitch on a hidden monitor?

If you don't win game one, you can't win the series. Just ask San Francisco. Or Cincinnati.
Even if they win tonight, #Tigers have to use Verlander instead of having him for gm 1. So that was a costly inning, either way.#Athletics
