Mark Buehrle Pitched a Perfect Game
1-liner, Baseball July 23rd. 2009, 4:10pmMark Buehrle: The White Sox pitcher has a perfect game through eight innings against the mighty Tampa Rays. Chicago leads, 5-0, on the strength of a Josh Fields grand slam in the 2nd inning. In the 9th, Buehrle will be facing – assuming there are no pinch-hitters – Gabe Kapler, Michel Hernandez, and Jason Barlett. He’s thrown 100 pitches. We can’t find the game anywhere on TV. [UPDATE: It's over. He did it. According to Cortes at Miami City of Champs, DeWayne Wise made an unreal catch at the wall in the bottom of the 9th.] [Yahoo]

He just did it.

game ovah. Perfect game
Patty sucks
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Done. Perfect game thanks to a great defensive play in the ninth.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Hopefully Hawk Harrelson has a coronary out of excitement/ejaculation and can never broadcast a game again.
Other than that, congrats Mark Buerhle. You are the only half-tolerable guy on that roster.

I read today that the Rays are looking to trade for Victor Martinez. Heyman guy at SI had some article on it
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
It was on ESPN.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:17 pm
espn switched over to it for the 9th. fantastic catch…thought he was going to drop it when he landed.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:18 pm
Wise, a defensive sub for the ninth, scaled the wall to rob a home run and then as he fell to the ground, juggled the ball but obviously held on.

City is going crazy right now. People in the streets.

mark buehrle is a douchebag.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I think you mean Mark Buehrle is a Bobby Jenks.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I don’t hate him nearly as much as I do the rest of that fucking team and organization. I’ve hated the White Sox for years because of that inbred fuck Hawk Harrelson and that mouthy asshole AJ Pierzlkaskjklkajsdgksky.
I’ve also ran into a ton of White Sox fans over the years who make me only hate their team even more.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Cortes with the exclusive.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:24 pm
i agree. i hate buehrle, but not nearly as much as AJ, jermaine dye, bobby jenks, ozzie and kenny.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:25 pm
you know your fantasy team sucks when buerhle throws a not hitter..and your still losing era and whip
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:27 pm
already traded betancourt. the fire sale begins.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:28 pm
shoot me.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:29 pm
I would rather be locked up at Guantanamo Bay and forced to listen to Celine Dion for the rest of my life than ever list to a Hawk Harrelson broadcast.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:34 pm
+you can put it on the board…YES!
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Fuck yeah! 5-0. I would’ve given my left nut to be at that game. Best moment for a White Sox fan since game four of the ‘05 WS.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:35 pm
In everyones face!!!

Is Buehrle that unlikable? I’ve never heard him say shit.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
That sounds like hyperbole. I’m going to assume you’ve listened to a Hawk Harrelson broadcast and I’m also going to assume that you’ve never been locked up at Guantanamo. Until you’ve done both, it’s tough to take this comment seriously.
If it was meant to be humorous, might I suggest changing all of the words to something funny.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:36 pm
You mean the WS the team didn’t actually earn because of the phantom no-call on AJ Fatsynzki in the ALCS against the Angels?
/HATE HATE HATE HATE!!!
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:38 pm
He wears the colors, dude. That’s all it takes. But as spencer and I agreed, he’s not nearly as bad as the rest of that fucking abortion of a team.
Yes, I’m totally serious. Lock me up, for I’ve committed terrorist acts.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
yes. he’s a white sox player…that’s all it takes. not a single likeable player/person in that organization’s history.
/frank thomas took more roids than raffy palmeiro and canseco combined
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:40 pm
buehrle hit hafner in the face, seemingly on purpose. some claim it ruined hafner.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:41 pm
that and the fact he stopped taking roids.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:42 pm
Buehrle is a good guy.
He had a no -hitter in 2007.
This will give Sox fans a little nugget to cherish come the cold gameless October.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Couldn’t care less one way or another about Buehrle, but it’s just cool to discuss a great on-the-field sports moment. Was huddled in my buddy’s office listening to his satellite radio, nervous as hell like it was actually a team I cared about or something. Awesome.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
im sure there were good nazis too.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:45 pm
At least you weren’t watching on TV and suffering through Hawk Harrelson.

God, this is fantastic. All the venom and horseshit actually feels good.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Just laughed out and got a mean mug from the lady across the aisle. Thank you.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Nice.

you work with KG?

mlb.com has the 9th inning catch and 8th inning line drive catch by the 3rd baseman
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
I don’t think so. This was a small, white woman. Not an angry, black man. *ducks*
It was also someone who doesn’t appreciate the pure humor in your post.
I’m glad you and I can put aside our Michigan/Ohio sports differences and can collectively hate the White Sux.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:56 pm
can’t believe he caught it with his throwing hand after losing it. awesome.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pm
I’ll give you that once Spence.
Fucking awesome catch, all things considered.
July 23rd, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Just saw the highlights on MLB.com. Jesus, the white sox announcers ruined those two moments. The Wise catch and the end of the game. Dreadful.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:03 pm
that was pretty bad.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:04 pm
RS27 IS MY SECOND FAVORITE POSTER RIGHT NOW BEHIND SPENCER.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
Screaming ALEXEI…YES YES YES YES YES is not the appropriate way to call a Perfect game. What the hell? I know they are homers but they didn’t mention once that Buerhle threw a perfect game.
I would say worse than John Sterling’s call of Dwight Gooden’s perfect game by saying The Yankees Win, AND Doc Gooden threw a no hitter.
somewhere Vin Scully is rolling in his grave. Wait, What?
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:08 pm
Dwight Gooden’s no hitter i meant..not perfect game.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:10 pm
No plural. Steve Stone is great. Hawk sucks and talks over him.
How dare you disparage the 9th greatest Jewish ballplayer in history according to Salon?
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:13 pm
Fuck all you Hawk Haters.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:20 pm
that list is almost as hard to get on as the top 10 women race car drivers of all time
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:28 pm
Buehrle is a relaxed, laid back and humble player. Hate the team all you want(though having that much distaste for a sports team is ridiculous.. but to each their own), but don’t make it personal, especially with someone as classy as Mark Buehrle.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Hell yeah
And this is just great…the perfecto and they’ve caught the Tigers, time to keep the good times rolling this weekend in Detroit
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:32 pm
Fuck Indian fans. I’m not sure you should even be allowed to comment on baseball, having not seen it up close in a couple of decades.
/eat it

///your football team sucks too
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:34 pm
Indian fans will always have Major League to fall back on (although in those movies they didn’t win the World Series either)
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:36 pm
True Butters, they also have a brilliant manager in Eric Wedge and a real sharp Gm….bwuhahahahaha.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:41 pm
eric wedge hates you if youre black or have a personality
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:43 pm
is the site going faster now because tbl fixed something or because everyone left work?
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:46 pm
A lot to get through…
Steve Stone, I think, does a fine job. I haven’t listened to him on TV this year because of the inbred fuck… I mean the Hawk, but Stone did Cubs TV games and Sox radio in the past and was damn fine.
Great movie. You beat me to it.
Wedge is done the day after the season and the owner should probably think about the same for the GM. But the same was said about Ozzie and Kenny in each of the last two years.
Tigers will trade for a bat. Bank on it. They’ve got the best pitching in the Central and second best in the AL (statistics prove it) but can’t score any damn runs. They’re 10-34 when scoring 3 or less. Dombrowski won’t ruin that. I’m betting on Matt Holliday after they’ve lost four of five games after the break with a 2-1 score.
Like I said, it’s not the guy it’s the uniform.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:50 pm
Wrong. There has been NO talk of Kenny Williams being fired. And the only people who hate on him are retards who think Billy Beane is a good GM and take Moneyball as gospel.
July 23rd, 2009 at 5:55 pm
big fan of kenny williams. loved how he threw frank thomas under the bus a couple years ago.
July 23rd, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Shapiro is going up to be the VP or something and Antonetti is taking over.
And Williams sucks.
Actually the Sox have the 2nd best in the AL statistically.
July 23rd, 2009 at 11:08 pm
False.
ERA – Tigers (4.04), Sox (4.15)
Hits – Tigers (803), Sox (824)
Runs, ER – Tigers (406, 368), Sox (435, 387)
HRA – Tigers (100), Sox (99)

July 23rd, 2009 at 11:14 pm
Sorry – I meant stats that don’t rely a shit ton on defense. Cause the Tigers are good at defense and the Sox aren’t.
Sox tRA – 4.14
Tigers tRA – 4.83
