Justin Verlander tells off Tigers fan on Twitter
It has been more than two months since the 2015 MLB season and it will be another four before the new one begins, but we already have fans beefing with players on social media.
On Thursday night, Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander sent a tweet that encapsulated the emotions of Detroit fans after the Lions lost to the Packers on a Hail Mary.
Speechless #Lions

One fan didn’t appreciate Verlander’s tweet and decided to make a comment about the Tigers not being good. Verlander wasn’t having it.
First losing season since '08. First non playoff season since '10. How easily some forget. Stop sucking as a fan. https://t.co/QRlvigIZKm

The Tigers were incredibly disappointing last season, finishing last in the AL Central with a 74-87 record. But, as Verlander mentioned, they made the playoffs in each of the previous four seasons.
What’s confusing to us is that Verlander would bicker with fans on Twitter when he has this lovely young lady to go home to. If I were him, I’d be happy all the time.
