If you have a Twitter account, then you are aware that anything you post will most likely attract haters in some form or fashion.
Wednesday wasn't any different for Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Justin Verlander.
Verlander posted a photo on Twitter of himself watching TV and hanging out with his dog on a "rainy" Florida day. A simple post. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Then of course one Twitter user decided to say, "When he is getting rocked in July this is why @jackbr01. #PersonalDay #IDontWorkWhenItRains."
Verlander was quick to replay and label this Twitter user, and rightfully so, a troll.

I have to give Verlander all the credit in the world for sticking up for himself. Why can't he have a day to himself?
Do you have a problem with Verlander responding to Twitter haters?
