2013 ALCS: Detroit Tigers vs. Boston Red Sox

No, first time in the postseason.

First combination (near) no-hitter I've ever watched. I wanted to see it, though I didn't know who exactly I was rooting for.

The biggest story was almost 12 LOB for Tigers, or 1-11 RISP.
Grateful for the rested Peralta.
Thankyou-50-game-suspension!

I was getting sick of FOX showing Boston fans instead of the game.

I think u r confused about what the only national stories in AL ball are, young man

(Stankee fans, Bosawx fans)

3:56 to play 1-0 game = new nadir

322 pitches

According to Pitch F/X, West called five strikes out of the zone for both Sanchez and Lester. The two worst ones were in Lester's favor.

Right near the beginning, you can see Cookie Lavagetto break up Bill Bevans' no-hitter in the ninth:

Hmm that's quite the on-field celebration for 1947. Usually they'd just shake hands and run to the dugout after *winning* the WS.

ha that newsreal is delightful

Bleacher Report ranks '47 as the 10th greatest Series ever:

I'm guessing the on-field hysteria was some combination of the all-NY angle, Robinson's first year, and general post-war euphoria--lots of psychic energy out there. Between Cookie Lavagetto, Al Gionfriddo, DiMaggio, and Berra, was there ever a better Series for Italians?

Sanchez walked six last night; Bevens walked ten.

I bet the game took less than 2:30 too.

So will Peralta continue to be the postseason PED poster boy? Bet there'll be a lot less handwringing than if it had been The Centaur.

There's been no handwringing at all, on TV they mention it in passing as if he missed two months rehabbing an injury.

fp'd clemenza for linking to bleacher report

pitching more like Horst Buchholz, amirite

So the sox don't like hitting the ball anymore, huh?

in-game interviews with coaches is a plague

Rockin' one leg.

so cute how Clay Buccholz tried to join the beard club.

They should just leave him now... why not?

well this game ended in a hurry

a few batters too many

So much anger on that throw, Dustin.

inscherzmountable

lol excellent work Morbs.

well that collapsed pretty quickly

Peddy almost fell down on that swing

Scherzer almost fell down on that pitch.

cabrera hit that one about 410 feet, wrong part of the ballpark

That commercial with the pirate kid is cute.

why do the red sox hate hits so much, i dont understand, they've totally turned on hits

Joe Buck just can't help himself

Will Carroll newsflash: Miguel Cabrera limping a bit.

Sure he's overworked logging football concussions, but
