LMFAO!!! Nice find. :cheers :headbang I love the Phillies players now. EDIT: SoxFan562004 gets the props! BOOO Heads.

That is very cool. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 10:54 PM) Good find, Heads. "All told, Kazanas has signed about a dozen players who've made it to the big leagues. The list includes White Sox outfielder Brian Anderson, Texas pitcher Brandon McCarthy and former White Sox pitcher Dan Wright." You win some, you lose some. No doubt all of these plays had/have some great potential. Haha well he did discover Pujols also, so his wins were golden.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Frankly, I think that the situation dictates it. If it's a 1 run game, your team still has a shot if they can get one baserunner. If it's a 5 run game, you need a legit meltdown by the pitcher. Do you bunt for hits very often in a 5 run game? Not really, not even Juan Pierre did that very often I'd guess. It isn't an written rule, but most people believe it's unwritten. A-Rod got blasted for yelling at a 3B (or was it a SS?) on a popout and he dropped it. ARod's play was considered bush league/not playing the game right, etc.. Theres those unwritten rules in the game that people old and young respect, especially when you play it. Stuff like that just isn't right, but people have different opinions on the matter. It happens.

I guess it wasn't Butter.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 09:10 PM) Really? What round, year, and team? Shoot me a PM. I don't brag about s*** like that especially considering I f***ed up my knee.. EDIT: My post from earlier, and the PM for you BS.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 09:00 PM) I'm still kind of upset that Ozzie wouldn't do this last year for Floyd's could've-been no-hitter. AJ said the same thing in an interview when he thought (he also said other teammates as well) BA shoulda been a replacement late in the inning. Looks like Ozzie didn't miss the boat this time.

That's an amazing avy onedude.

QUOTE (onedude @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) i'm going to agree with stocking on this one. Speaking for someone who has played the game (many here as well), was undrafted but A Marlin scout wanted to sign me (fun fact), had a coach who used to play in the minors (up to AA I think?) and knows the game very well, played against other players in the minors now (and just know a couple) and knows alittle the bush league rules, I also have to agree with Stocking and Lost.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:43 PM) Mark Buehrle W 5-0 9.0 0 0 0 0 6 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 199 97.5 +0 FOR THE WIN....... GOOD!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) I also missed his first no hitter...but I swear I've missed some games where he got rocked!! Yea it's decided.. Every Mark Buehrle start you don't get to watch.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 08:07 PM) Huh, most of my cub fan friends texted me saying that even as a cubs fans Buehrle's performance was amazing. Guess I'm just friends with smart cub fans. Yes they do exist. They are hard to find, but you can come across a few of them. Personally, I like being friends more with the female kind.

When I was a kid, I thought getting spanked all the time was child abuse, mom & dad don't love me, blah, blah blah. But I'll tell ya what, I'm glad they did as it's helped me as a person in life become respectful, outgoing, polite, mature, etc.. Sure I can be a bad ass out here, but I know I'm not that kid acting a fool in public, or in a jail cell doing something stupid. I can also tell the difference between me and my sister who is my age, and my little brother who is about 7-8 years younger than me, on how wild he is cause of my parents getting older raising him.

Mitchell is human. Greene with a nice day so far in W-S and Lillibridge has another hit, with a walk. He's got his average up to .262 so far.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) So I missed the game today due to a company picnic. Anything cool happen? I know your pissed on the inside. the ONE game you missed, and even though you "posted" in the game thread, (it isnt the same) Mark Buehrle makes history.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 06:32 PM) Mark was so courageous to throw like this with Danks in such bad shape. Put his initials on the mound today. Should become a ritual now. Also fun fact, in each of Buehrle's no hitters (1 perfect game), we hit a grandslam in the games.

All the good old posters are comming back. Great to see. Welcome back DePloderer, though I still say Goldy owns in the sig department.

Haha first the new futuresox and not SoxNet? You guys are not playing around this year. I wonder if it was the Buehrle perfect game that put this idea over the top?

Eric Cooper is also umpire #56 FYI. Crazy.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 05:27 PM) Let the b****ing begin. What a bunch of s***!!! Why is your ass continued to get robbed by Tim Marsh for the best poster award.

WOW. Now thats a man that should be requesting a trade.

No-hitter and Perfect game. Game time No-hitter: 2 hours 3 minutes Game time Perfect Game: 2 hours 3 minutes Home plate umpire as mentioned: Eric Cooper twice. Both games.. 27 plate apperances.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:43 PM) Eric Cooper was the home plate umpire for both of Buehlre's No-Hitters. Nice avy. And MurcieOne beat you on that fact hours ago.

He's gotten to report the games in the right time he's worked. He's seen Buehrle's No-hitter and Perfect game and luckally had to report on both days. Amazing.

I love AJ's interview and the comcast line. AJ DID NOT CATCH BUEHRLE'S PERFECT GAME "Well this worked out great for me, I got to watch!!" - AJ.
