Mark Buehrle throws a perfect game.

[Wes]

congrats Mark Buerhle

its funny a mediocre pitcher a career .550 pitcher has both a no hitter,WS ring and now a PG not many people can say that.

He's a lot better than a mediocre pitcher.

What does "a career .550 pitcher" mean? I thought you meant W-L% (which is really irrelevant when determining how good a pitcher is) but his W-L% is .595...

 

[Pine Tar]

Every year I pick Mark Buehrle for my fantasy team and have the last 5

 

[Pine Tar]

LOL I just found a Josh Fields Sterling jersey auto :lol:
I know I had this but I did not even know where.

 

[HPC]

Great day to have him on my fantasy team :mrgreen:

 

[Exposfan]

Congrats to Buehrle.. about the sixth inning I was thinking what an accomplishment if he threw another No-hitter because that NEVER happens-



It also spurred the thought Nolan Ryan Had 7 NO-NO's, and how great of an accomplishment that is- highly unlikely anyone ever gets 2 or more

i love how the Hawk called the last batter (Bartlett)

He was dead silent for the first 3 pitches...then Bartlett hit the ground ball..."ALEXEI.....YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!"

He is such an extreme homer, I could actually picture him pacing in the booth b/c he was so nervous and wanted it for Mark so bad :lol:

I heard Steve Stone laugh and I know the hawk was crying his eyes out. I can't stand him most of the time
So I just turn off the sound if I'm watching on TV becuase of the Hawk and his Homernest.

So here is something I was not aware of and some people have seemed to allude to.

In Mark's first No hitter Dye hit an Grand Slam and Thome had 2 homeruns and I think the
slam was the first time in a no hitter, But I'm for sure.

Well today Josh Fields hit a grand Slam in this one as well, So if the first on was true
then this history again as for the first pitcher to have a no hitter and a perfect game
and someone has hit a grad slam in each of his no-no's.
Can anyone verify if this has even not happened ever before.

Paging leatherman.

I can only search back to 1954, but here is what I found:

Jeff Burroughs hit a grand slam in Jim Bibby's no-hitter: July 30, 1973

Jermaine Dye hit a grand slam in Buehrle's first no-hitter: April 18, 2007

Since 1954, these are the only other games (along with the one today) where a team hit a grand slam in a no-hit game.

One last thing...in Buehrle's other no-hitter, the only baserunner was Sammy Sosa, from a walk. Sosa was promptly picked off first base, and Buehrle faced the minimum of 27 batters. Buehrle also faced the minimum 27 batters in a 2-hitter back on July 21, 2004. Both baserunners were erased on double plays.

After today, Buehrle is the only pitcher to have 3 shutouts and face only 27 batters. The only pitcher with more than one is Sandy Koufax, with 2.

Congrats to Mark! As a Twins fan, there aren't a whole lot of White Sox I like/root for, but Buehrle's always been an exception. I have nothing but respect for him and enjoy watching him pitch.

Wise = Clutch. Maybe the best catch ever considering the circumstances?

Ok thanks but was Bibby NL then and Burl's was AL or they from both the same league

Edit never mind they were both in the AL oh well I thought it was something else then
thanks again

I would not hesitate to agree.

 

[J.O.]

using mlb iphone app and gameday.

so it says in play, outs. i get very excited, just one more out to go!!!!!


i check again. it has changed to "kapler doubles" my heart sinks. it shows a guy on second, but i go to the box score and it shows the next guy up and no hits still or errors. so im lost


wait 10 seconds and go back and it says flied out.


talk about nervous lol

Honestly, glad I was home sick from work today, if only because I got to witness probably the best catch I have EVER seen live....considering the circumstances, ground that Wise had to cover just to get to the ball (it was more of a line drive, so he didn't have time to actually get under it), the fact it was nearly out of his glove (and caught barehanded when it came out), etc. etc....Just incredible.

Not to mention he came in cold off the bench as a defensive substitute. It would have been easy to get burned on that play.

"Hawk"

That is all :lol:

 

[ozzie's translator]

No one in the entire infield has played at their position they played today in the majors until this year, Quentin just back after a couple games with a bad foot, Scotty Pods who wasn't even playing in the majors to start the season, Wise a career minor leaguer until recently saves the perfect game, Dye not in his prime fielding years, and the back up catcher......amazing. What would the odds have to have been with that for a defense?

The crowd was on its feet when Buehrle was on the mound from the 6th on!!

 

[chisox3706]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

go sox!!

i was out on a call during the game and one of the guys let me know that the sox were winning 5-0 so i was excited of course but i didnt know what was up. then i get to the office and pull up the box score...goose eggs across the board so i told my office partners "sweet buehrle got himself another no hitter!"...i click on yahoo sports and the cover story/pic said it all.
