Unreal

Given the circumstances one of the best catches I have ever seen. It’s hard enough to field a routine ground ball with that pressure let alone make that catch. Just sick.

For a moment

I thought you were mocking Ken Harrelson.

What you fail to understand in your joyless myopia is that baseball is the key to life-- the Rosetta Stone, if you will. If you just understood baseball better all your other questions your, your... the, uh... the aliens, the conspiracies they would all, in their way be answered by the baseball gods.

MARK BUEHRLE PERFECT GAME

Im surprised you didnt jinx it

Hey

I’m 1-3 on the year, those numbers would get me to Cooperstown.

1.75-3

You jinxed Sanchez’s perfecto, but he still got a no-no, so you get half credit. Another quarter credit b/c it should be a perfecto (damn Uribe).

Thanks

For the generosity. I mean 1.75-3 puts me among the elites in Cooperstown.

I hate the White Sox

But man, that was an amazing game and Wise’s catch was so incredible.

?

Where does that catch rank all-time?

2 No Hitters now for him

He and Randy Johnson are the only current guys with more than 1.

by backtocali on Jul 23, 2009 4:43 PM EDT reply actions

And to think

Nolan Ryan had seven no-hitters, 12 one-hitters, and 18 two-hitters.

Maybe now I won’t have to watch the replay of Randy’s against the Bravos as much anymore.

How strangley funny and incredible .....

that in Sanchez’s no hitter, Rowand made an outstanding grab in the 9th and now Wise for Buehrle……regarding Wise catch, they say most no hitters or perfect games have one defining defensive play but that one ranks #1 all time in a that situation.
