Mario Impemba and Rod Allen of Fox Sports Detroit seem to have a double standard when it comes to no-hitters.
Last summer when Justin Verlander of the Tigers was throwing a no-hitter, Impemba and Allen refused to utter the the term no-hitter. The explained later that they were honoring the baseball tradition of no one talking about a no-hitter when one was in progress for fear of jinxing the pitcher.
They had no such fear of a jinx Saturday when Gavin Floyd of the Chicago White Sox was twirling a no-hit gem. They could not seem to get through a sentence without saying no-hitter.
