May 8, 200916 yr 352nd all time in wins with 127. Next up at 128 includes Jason Schmidt. Active ranks before tonight: BB/9: 6th ERA+: 11th Win-Loss Pct.: 15th CG: 15th WHIP: 17th ERA: 18th IP: 20th SO: 20th Wins: 21st Starts: 24th K: 45th HR/9: 47th And he's just 30. And I don't see another White Sox ever wearing 56. He may not be an ace, but I sure as hell don't want him anywhere else but on the South Side.
May 8, 200916 yr The thing you have to love about him, among other things, is his approach. Why all pitchers don't get the ball and deliver it as quickly as he does is beyond comprehension. It's the way to pitch. Even if you are getting rocked, it seems to me, getting it and delivering it, is the way to go, not delaying delivery forever.

Some days you get your ass kicked, and you know what, just take it and see what they dish out

May 8, 200916 yr They were saying yesterday that since 2001, MB has more quality starts than any pitcher in baseball. THAT is awesome.

I actually heard Steve Phillips mention something about that for our entire staff. It may have been since 2003 or something, the White Sox have more quality starts than any other team in baseball. Mark is definitely a huge part of that.
May 8, 200916 yr Mark Buehrle is a special person. A combination of a great guy and a great pitcher. Thank god, the White Sox have someone like him.
May 8, 200916 yr I hope and pray that the only jersey Mark wears is a Sox jersey. I watched most of last night's game and was blown away by what I saw. He looked totally in control, relaxed, confident, and was still smiling. Truly a great guy and a great pitcher.
May 8, 200916 yr has there been a white sox player in the last 30 years thats been easier to like than MB? The only one that really jumps out is Baines.

May 8, 200916 yr MB is on the Score. Says he's looking for an apology from Cowley for all the injury non-sense from spring training but he knows he'll never get one from him. It didn't sound like he was joking. Also said if he was pitching in Texas when the Sox were getting hit, he would have gone out and tried to hit someone. Edited May 8, 200916 yr by G&T
