[edit] Current sport tag

I really didn't think I had to explain this. When a person is involved with a "current event", they get a current event tag. When it's a current event in the sporting world, such as a no-hitter, they get a "current sport" tag. After a week or so (not really sure about that part) it is no longer a current event and the tag goes away. When Buerhle hit a no-hitter earlier in the year, his page got a tag (although it also should have been a "current sport" tag instead of "current event"). When somebody dies they get a tag even though they are not going to die again. When somebody makes racial comments in a nightclub they get a tag. I could name countless other examples but I'm tired and still can't believe this would be controversial. Thanks RobDe68 03:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to tell you that you wasted your time writing that.Chris Nelson 03:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

I was at the game and the radar said his pitch was 101 miles per hour, most other news sources agree, including the one cited in this article. Only the telecast clocked it at 102.

     On top of that, the commentator also referenced 101 on that pitch, while the graphic showed 102.

[edit] Picture

While the current picture is a great moment, you can barely see Verlander in there.. I think a change should be made

Obviously, that's the best available.Chris Nelson 17:29, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Added a new picture. Still not a good close-up but a decent action shot nonetheless. TheKuLeR 15:33, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
