aboz56 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 11/11/2002 07:36 am ET MLB stars lose again in Japan, 8-2 By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com Mark Buerhle was knocked out of the game by a Hideki Matsui line drive. Then the Major Baseball All-Stars were KO'd for the second straight night by their Japanese counterparts. The slugger nicknamed "Godzilla" stunned Buerhle during a four-run fourth inning Monday night. Although the Chicago White Sox right-hander flicked his glove up and ducked his head, he took the shot off the top of his left shoulder and immediately left a game Japan won 8-2 in the Fukuoka Dome. The play went as an infield single. "It's just sore. It's a bruise," said Buerhle, who has a bruised left shoulder and may pitch again in his spot Saturday, the next to last game of the series. "It feels like some one punched me in the shoulder. I saw it coming back at me and just tried to get out of the way. I think I just turned my shoulder at it." ------------------------------------- Remind me again why he is playing over there. If he gets seriously injured, I am going to be extremely pissed.

Molto Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I think that is the only game he was set to play anyway. usually you play 1-2 games tops. hopefully it isn't serious and he can just take it easy out there, come home and get ready for 2003.

aboz56 Posted November 11, 2002 Author Share Posted November 11, 2002 From what I read now, the Sox asked him not to go and he went anyway, so it's his own fault if he gets hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 the sox preferred that he wouldn't go, but Buehrle went. he didn't finish the season hurt and more or less went for fun. once again, he won't be pitching many innings, probably 7 or 8, but s*** that happened yesterday is the concern. when you have an ACE pitcher who is throwing 200+ innings, he should take part in no offseason leagues.

Chisoxfn Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 I don't think our best pitcher whose thrown all those innings should even go near Japan to pitch. He can go ahead and tour it, but the heck with pitching. You've thrown enough Mark, shut it down. I posted this a couple weeks back and I stick to my point. Whatever happens, he better not take the mound again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan420 Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 i say let him go. The man just wants to pitch and i love that in him he loves the game and i think if more people loved the game like him baseball would be better to watch.

They have a problem distinguishing between the reft and right shourders in Japan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
