Buehrle No hitter (nearly no-no)

[nilodnayr]

Congrats. With the way the Sox offense has been thats really the only way you can assure yourself a win.

 

Congrats to Sammy for breaking it up.

Who's Mark Buerhle?

[Mephistopheles]

[J.R.]

Helldamnit.

[rickrolled]

I have Buehrle on my fantasy team, so props to him for that.

[CubmanPi]

Props to Who?. Sox fans don't deserve it, but the guy deserves props. Definitely impressive.

[Soriano12]

Impressive game.

[AlwaysaCub]

The last time a White Sock pitched a no hitter, Sosa was on their team. So I guess he's been involved in the last two White Sox no hitters.

 

PS its hilarious that he would manage a walk, and then get picked off.

I like to think of it as Sammy broke up the perfect game.

Who's Mark Buerhle?

 

Never gets old

[soccer10k]

Like I said in the game thread, I can't wait until he's wearing a Cardinals uniform next year and shutting down the Cubs 5-6 times per year.

[TruffleShuffle]

um... why is "nearly" in the title?

 

yeah was wondering the same thing... it should say "nearly a perfect game"

Did anyone see this game? I just saw the last out, but my friend (a big Rangers fan) said that there was a bad call, that Hairston (I think it was), was actually safe at first, as the replay showed, but he was called out. I didn't see the game, but I'd like to see that to know if this fan's claim has any validity!

[Chocolate Milk]

Hairston still sliding into first I see. Has that ever worked for him? Might want to give that one up.

[Derwood]

enjoy it Sox fans. You're still finishing 4th

Hairston was out sliding in to first base. Had he stayed up and ran throught the bad that play would've been a lot closer.

 

He really needs to be broken of that habit. The only reason to slide into first would be if the first baseman is off the bag and you're trying to avoid a tag by going low. There's no reason not to run through the bag when a force-out is the possibility.

[98navigator]

Hairston was out (the replay was clear) and it was because of the stupid slide. I think he got ejected for arguing but I was turned it off...

Good thing Ozzie decided to pitch around Texiera and not walk Sammy. Oh, wait. . .

At the risk of sounding like a child, Hairston's a big stupid head.

The title should be more assertive

[Chocolate Milk]

It's a good thing the game wasn't in Texas because they use the scoreboard lights to tip Mark's pitches.
