guy is 0-3 in the world series with 5 innings per start and an ERA over 7
other than that he's 6-1 in the playoffs with a great ERA in the other series....
i do say it takes away from his "aura"
Is your opinion of Verlander different after last night?

His first two starts were his rookie season, right? Not going to judge him based off that... but last night he was rocked.
you all hate me and want to be me... so conflicted... like pre-teen girls geetting thei first period.

If I was hitting this, I would be smug. Just sayin'.

I think it ABSOLUTELY diminishes is overall aura. How could anyone say differently? Did you guys forget what makes America...America? Fair or not it's the truth. Verlander may go down as a great but he will never be immortalized as an ALL TIME great with that WS record. Sorry.

True but he has plenty of years ahead of him to turn it around.

Tigers don't sniff the World Series or even the playoffs without him. It's asinine to think a handful of games make a difference in the bigger picture.
Agree but I think what Blackout means is if Verlander retired with these numbers you would always have a portion of fans who would point to his WS numbers when debating him against say a Jack Morris or John Smoltz.

Well that portion of fans would be making a bad argument. Morris was very clutch, but Verlander will probably have a better career. I don't think Verlander will top Smoltz's resume though.
Roberts is going, Posada throws, he is SAFE!

It's just my impression of him from what I've seen. He seems very satisfied with himself. I would be too I guess.
I always hate seeing people who are satisfied with themselves as well. Life is suffering!

As it stands now I think it absolutely does. Does he have to be Koufax (0.95 ERA in 4 world series)? No, you can look at Randy Johnson, who went through a 0-6 postseason stretch, however Johnson also has a World Series MVP to his name. There will definitely be a blemish next to Verlander's name until he can redeem himself on the big stage. Does it hurt HOF chances, no, he's obviously a great pitcher, but I think it hurts his "aura" as an all time immortal. Seaver's only like 1-2 but has a, I think, 2.70 ERA. I'm not saying you need to be perfect but he's got to at least have 1 shining moment imo. Not always fair but I think it's true.Tigers don't sniff the World Series or even the playoffs without him. It's asinine to think a handful of games make a difference in the bigger picture.
