Crap.

Nice defensive switch.

Pretty amazing that we're one error at third base from having two perfect games in a matter of a couple weeks.

[Prizefight]

Well, at least it happened to my favorite White Sox.

White Sox hater or not, the scene with Buehrle and his wife and baby was nice to see. Edited July 23, 2009 by Bruno7481

Crap.

 

Why is it bad?

I love how fast he works...

Doesn't make sense why players don't call time more often to slow him down.

[UMFan83]

Gotta give him props for that. Cheering him on the entire way, and I wasn't even cheering for the Sox in the World Series in 05. Perfect games are individual achievements and it was enjoyable to watch the last few innings.

Like the class here though. WSI would have been up in arms if a guy like Dempster did this.

Mark Buehrle is all kinds of awesome. He's going to be a borderline Hall of Famer when all is said and done.

Someone just a few posts above was being negative about it.

I love to see this as any perfect game goes down as one of the greatest pitched games in history. It's fun to watch regardless who's playing.

Just predicting bragging/attitude from WS fan friends.

I can't even hate on it. That catch was amazing considering the context.

I thought for sure he was going to lose it when he fell down.

[UMFan83]

BTW, did anyone else think Alexi was going to airmail that throw to first on the 27th out? He looked like he was rushing to make the throw...that would have been really hilarious to see.

Who's Mark Buehrle?

White Sox hater or not, the scene with Buehrle and his wife and baby was nice to see.

 

Where was his mistress(es)?

[Little Slide Rooter]

So I guess this means that people outside of the south side of Chicago might recognize that the city has 2 teams for a few days for the first time in 4 years.

[Butterscup1679666578]

wow that catch was crazy. buerhle owes him a steak dinner.

[bcl412]

espn.com says that it's only the 16th one thrown (in modern history). I didn't realize that there were so few.

Crap.

Why is that worth bragging about? It's a nice individual performance that's fun to see but it only gives a team 1 win in the standings. The Sox win tied them for 1st place though.

[DiamondMind]

Let them have their moment guys. At least we have an off day today to let them have their day in the sun.

[Flames24Rulz]

That catch was one of the best catches you'll ever see. For once, I think Hawk wasn't overreacting when he said that Wise catch was the best he's seen.

 

Pretty cool to see.

But the majority are being pretty classy.
