08:10 AM ET 06.15 | Justin Verlander said he starts thinking about no-hitters around three innings into a spotless beginning, yet another of which on Tuesday has taken him into a new realm: the must-see player. You can't turn away now, not for a single pitch or a single performance. Justin Verlander has reached that rare status, as rare as any player in baseball, that demands he must be watched every time he pitches. The crowd was oohing and Verlander was awe-ing, and when his latest hunt for a slice of history fell just short, it actually was more surprising he didn't get it. ... Not that more confirmation was needed, but Verlander is the most-electric athlete in Detroit, with every ingredient necessary -- incredible talent, supreme confidence and a healthy, nasty sneer.

Verlander is one of the best four or five starting pitchers in baseball. Why do most people not realize that already?
...the best policy

Its one of my top 3 games I have ever seen in person watching the Tigers- I will give you that...
The guy is something else. Definatley the best pitcher in the Central and one of the best in the game in general. I still wouldnt say the best in the AL but he is very close...

Anyone got the over/under on how long before it takes to get a "Red Sox/Yankees trying to trade for Verlander" thread on this site?

Yes, Verlander is amazing - but how is the Detroit News forgetting about Datsyuk?

Oh I know... But his average is getting back up ther finally...
thank God.
Otherwise I thought we might have to deal for some washed up schmuck like Pierre...

Nice try on the Pierre jab. He led MLB in stolen bases last year and there's plenty of time for him to produce this year, certainly to a better degree than Jackson.

AFACT, Jackson has struck out 57 more times this year than Pierre. Plus, they have the same amount of stolen bases. You might as well have a washed up schmuck playing CF over Jackson.

LOL!
Its getting there...
Now that all these freaking tech companies are moving in since its so cheep and the taxes are dramatically less than Silicone Valley- things are starting to look up again...
It will take a long time- and practiaclly just blowing up and starting over in alot of areas- but it will get there- probably will take as long as it took for it to get as bad as it was. another 20 years- but it should get back to a form of respectibility again one day I hope. I like the teams- I just remember as a kid- twenty some years ago- I really liked the city- it was pretty cool.
I wouldnt wish that on any city what happened to Detroit. Hope it makes it back to something decent...

I love the look on his face when someone hits a homerun off of him. It's great.
