Verlander just misses another no-no

[Rich the Giants fan]

Justin Verlander comes up two outs short of his 3rd career no-hitter. Is he the best pitcher of his generation? I love how deep he pitches into games. This was his 51st consecutive start of at least six innings. He's definitely my favorite non-Giants pitcher.

From ESPN: Four of the five pitchers with at least three no-hitters are in the Hall of Fame: Nolan Ryan (seven), Sandy Koufax (four), Bob Feller (three) and Cy Young (three). Larry Corcoran, an ambidextrous pitcher who won 177 games from 1880-85, is the other one.

Damned Pirates, can't they do anything right?

I'm starting to think this Verlander kid might be pretty good.

Kate still won't let him in

He's good, but..best pitcher of his generation? Really? I don't think he makes the top 10, at least not at this point.

About the same level as Jon Lester and Jared Weaver.

I would say he's the best right now. What other pitcher would you take over him? Maybe Kershaw or Strasburg. If there was a draft it would be hard to not pick Verlander as the number 1 guy.

I would say he has the highest ceiling but he was a little inconsistent early in his career. he seems to have worked that out but he needs quite a few great seasons to reach the level of halladay.
