JUSTIN VERLANDER PITCHED AN ENTIRE BASEBALL GAME WITHOUT ALLOWING THE MILWAUKEE BREWERS TO HIT A BALL SO THAT THEY COULD REACH FIRST BASE SAFELY
I love no-hitters. In fact, there are always two sad moments during every major league baseball game I attend, or even watch on TV, for that matter: The moment when the first team to get a hit gets a hit, and then the moment when the other team gets its first hit. Congrats, Tiger fans who were at the game last night; you have accomplished one of my life's goals without me, namely to see a no-hitter in person. With that, here is the last inning:
And as is tradition here in E.K. Nation, we must defrock the reigning E.K. Nation's Next Pitcher To Throw A No-Hitter with sadness, because, as is also tradition, he failed to throw a no-hitter. Shame on you, Johan Santana. A new one must be appointed. Dan Haren of the Oakland Athletics, you are on the clock.
