The Tigers are sending 3 representatives to the All Star game, and maybe one more. Justin Verlander, Edwin Jackson, and Curtis Granderson were all named to the AL All Star Game. Brandon Inge still has a chance ( a slim one) to get on the team if the fans vote him in.

That's what my tag team partner and I called Curtis Granderson back in 2007. Two reasons. One, at the All-star break Grandy was on pace for 100 Extra Base Hits, a feat as beautiful as the quad twenties, although not as rare. Two, because it's a sweet game Curtis Granderson...
