A report says Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander has asked actress and model Kate Upton several times to marry him, and she keeps saying "No."

That's too bad for Justin, but maybe if they break up, he can get back to pitching well.

Verlander has been dating the Michigan born Upton on and off for more than three years. He’s 32 and ready to settle down. She’s 23 years old and, reportedly, not ready to settle down.

And really, can you blame her?

She hasn’t been single since she’s been of legal drinking age. Her movie career is taking off. She knows her shelf life as a model is pretty short. And she’s very hot.

But everything also makes sense from Verlander’s point of view. He’s got the inside track on one of the hottest women on the planet. And, he knows he’s not getting any cuter, and he's not nearly as good on the baseball field as he once was.

So, we’ll see how this all plays out. According to insiders, this whole marriage conflict might just be enough to bust up the relationship. Kate Upton could once again be on the open market. Start your dreaming and start your praying.

As a longtime Tigers fan, I'm willing to see him suffer a little pain if it means he returns to 2011 Justin Verlander. Old Justin just hasn't been the same since they hooked up. The Detroit Free Press even referred to him as 'the Tiger Woods of baseball'.

Say it ain't so, Justin!
