Prepare thyself for ESPN coverage of the greatest no-hitter in the history of all mankind

Yeah, slightly better than Bucholz's no-hitter from last year, a close number 2.

I didn't get to watch it, but ESPN really pissed me off when they were saying Buehrle's nono was not a dominant one and it shouldn't have been a no hitter. They also said that there were too many good plays by the defense that kept it a no hitter. I felt like slapping all of them and asking them when is there a no hitter with crappy defense?

 

Okay, now that my rant is over, congrats to Lester.

Wait, all due congratulations to Lester but...

 

Did they REALLY say that about Buehrle? That is so ludicrous. I can't believe they need to compare no hitters rather than acknowledge the accomplishment itself.

I think it was Skip Bayless on Cold Pizza or some bs. Nothing that was too big of a deal. Actually I think they were comparing Verlander's vs Buherle's... and really it was no question as to who was more dominant in their respective performance. A pitcher like MB is gonna need some luck and help to get an accomplishment like that.

I honestly don't remember. I was channel surfing at the time and when I heard that I just changed the channel.

 

I think it was Skip, but again I really don't remember. Either way for them to talk crap like that about a no hitter makes no sense.

Any pitcher needs help and luck to do that, but I know what you mean. Saying one performance is more dominant than another doesn't bother me, really, but saying, "it shouldn't have been a no hitter", or something like that, seems classless.
