Because there s nothing that can really be said other than that they are approaching 10 000 losses But still if an event is approaching and has no set date like this one then it shouldn t be added You don t know when the event is going to occur it might be in 2008 A countdown is unencyclopedic unless it s something that has a set date to occur It s also like if a source said Barry Bonds will become the all time HR king Who s to say that he might never hit another home run ever again It doesn t matter how likely it is for that event to occur because something like what happened to Clemente could happen to him If he died he couldn t hit HR number 755 or 756
