Classic performance.

2nd time he's done that to Tampa.

Loki · Post by **Loki** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:18 pm

thats not an easy lineup to go through like that these days though

edit: i thought he was done after that gabe kapler at bat. amazing catch under pressure by the cf, whoever that guy is.

Tommy Bunz · Post by **Tommy Bunz** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:25 pm

Damn. Thats a pretty good lineup to do that to as well.
Really impressive that he has a no-hitter and a perfect game now even though he doesn't have "no-hit" stuff.

Is Buerhle better than we think he is? NO way he is as good as his numbers right? Fuck me, Kel is gonna runaway with fantasy baseball.

Loki · Post by **Loki** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 4:31 pm

i think at least part of his effectiveness has to correlate with his fast pitch rate

yeah i caught that, also. Watching him year after year after year i still don't really understand it. Someone called him 'the next Jamie Moyer' - i don't disagree and i wouldn't be mad at that.

LOL at the trade last year when everybody called you an idiot. you dids raped me now.

on a side note..cuz i didnt say anything about it last year, justin was the only one who said it was a good trade (gloss obviously did)

Amazing. Listened to the last 3 innings on the radio nervous as hell. The fact that he has thrown another no-hitter amazes me because he is a ground ball pitcher. I haven't seen it yet, but I gues DeWayne Wise robbed a homerun. Either way....

fellow White Sox fans.

In case you didn't know already, Mark B. is the shit.

And he's retiring this season.

Brougham33 · Post by **Brougham33** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 5:55 pm

His contract is up in 2011. He said he would retire then. I doubt it, but he is the type of guy who might.

Just trying put this game into perspective...and how improbable this game really was.

-The White Sox are a terrible defensive team. And that is when we have starters in. Our backup catcher (Castro) was playing. Our 3rd baseman (Beckham) is a rookie who is playing out of position. Our error prone SS (Ramirez) is playing shortstop for the first time this year. Our 2nd baseman (Getz) is a rookie. Backup 1st baseman (Fields) was in. Our left fielder (Quentin) is coming off an injury to his foot . Our CF (Podsednik) can't really play center. And Jermaine Dye, while servicable, is old and slow. US Cellular field is a hitters park. The Rays are a good hitting team. Weather is perfect during the game.

So despite all that, he throws a perfect game. In 2 hours and 3 minutes. Amazing.

@ a perfect game sitting on the bunch.

Kel, 5 out of his last 6 starts were quality starts yo.

Also, that trade last year was garbage and I stand by that statement. Regardless though I gotta give you some credit, your team is pretty fucking awesome this year.

That really was one of the most clutch plays I have ever seen. You would call bullshit if that happened in a movie, especially if it was done by a guy who was on the bench until that moment.

Cash.

Anderson for Kotsay is great too.

Now we can move Fields or Wise in a bigger move.
