[johnny2x2x]

Wow, followed it on my phone while I was fishing. I gave up when it was 7-5, what a win!

I'm done doubting this team this season, they have a ton of drive and a lot of heart.

I'm just glad I'm not an Indians fan right now.

This board would've gone apeshit if Valverde did the same thing or if the Tigers had just lost 9 straight.

Anyone notice a fan touched this ball? Almost scooped it up and robbed Boesch of that great throw to kill Marson?

Thanks for posting, KC. I was at Thunder Over Michigan and missed the first half of the game, then listened on the radio until the 7th when I got home and flipped it on. My parents were over and they gave up on it after Benoit's meltdown. I watched until the first out we made in the 9th and figured it was a bad loss and gave up. My curiosity got the better of me and I flipped it back to FSN and saw the last seconds of the post game show saying we won. I was so bummed I missed the comeback. I just went to the movies with my wife after that and didn't see a replay until now.

Great video. Obvioulsy lots of people had left the game after Cleveland scored 3 in the 10th. I'd be pissed if I left that game early and missed that.

You're welcome,
Glad to find this one and post it, yeah I missed the whole game, but some things in life are more important than a game in August. You're fortunate both your parents were there to watch with you. I spent the day with my old mom, since she is now living in the nursing home permanently after all she went through the past 4 months.
Reading the great game thread from everyone today, and then all the webvideos makes this incredible win enjoyable.

watch the indians broadcast clip too, its hilarious. they leave like 30-45 seconds of dead air (like hawk did that one time). i love me some sweet, delicious indians fans tears.

Perez knew it was gone right away. He just walked right off of the mound.

All the people just getting to parking lot, their cars, or driving out of there, hearing the crowd roaring still in the ballpark, imagine that with kids in the car and then saying why did we leave, we missed it!!
Games like this, and how it played out for the Tigers to be losing by that deficit late, sometimes I have to get up and take a short walk about outside, then come back to the tv, todays game if I had been here watching, I would have done that, how much of the Tigers half of the 9th I would have seen, idk, but would have erupted with a loud cheer if I was watching Miguel's walkoff bomb.

Man, I love listening to Dickerson call home runs and that one was amazing!

is that the the tv announcers with rick manning,
do you remember a few years back when the Tigers were winning a game in cleveland, what was it 1 - 0, and an indians player hit what looked like a homerun that Curtis Granderson brought back from over the wall, .....manning screaming "it's a homerun,.....no it's not", when he saw grandy had the ball in his glove.

lol...I remember that when I had the misfortune of watching the game on STO. That made it so much better though.

I remember that one. I was at a bar. I think JV was going for the complete game in the 9th and that would have been a 2 run shot.

 

[kalinecountry]

Right jas5 and manchild on sto and yeah JV was pitching,

Tigers official site put up another webvideo of the 9th inning.

Webvideo Tigers' five-run 10th.
The Tigers rally with two outs in the bottom of the 10th to score five runs on three huge hits in a 10-8 walk-off victory.

From Mlive.com


“That was a crazy game,” Leyland said. “We get the guy on third, nobody out, and we don’t score, then nobody on, two outs, and we score a bunch."

These types of games are about as rare as a player hitting for the cycle or a pitcher throwing a no-hitter. They don't come along very often. And, when they finally arrive, they mean something.

"This is the type of win that, honestly, can get us going through August, and through September, to show the fans that we’re in this to win it," Laird said.

Last year, there were two of them.

Remember Austin Jackson’s picture-perfect throw that nailed Kosuke Fukudome at the plate and preserved an 8-7 win over the Indians last year? Of course you do. It was a moment.

And, who can forget the seven-run deficit Detroit erased against the Chicago White Sox last year? That win was highlighted by another game-ending homer from Cabrera. Another moment.

"That’s why it’s a great game," Leyland said. "And to me, it’s the best game.”

This year, there's certainly been the need for a moment. For nearly four months, it's been missing. On Sunday, they finally got one.

"Wow!" Infante said. "That was the best win I've ever seen."
