Erin Andrews can't tell Justin Verlander from Justin Bieber?

(UPI) -- Erin Andrews nearly made a critical error following the ninth inning of the Boston Red Sox 1-0 defeat of the Detroit Tigers when she almost referred to Tigers ace Justin Verlander as Justin Bieber during a postgame interview with Mike Napoli.

Andrews also gaffed when she called Detroit manager Jim Leyland “Joe Leyland.”

She went on Twitter to defend herself about alleged mix-up:

My lord..people are unreal RT @NDisch: “@pvdj: @ErinAndrews did you almost say Justin Bieber instead of Verlander in post game interview?”

Followed by:

She also addressed the Leyland situation:
