Milkman delivers Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) J4L should write an apology letter to Phil Humber. Oh yes. QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 05:39 PM) That was awesome. I was scared to post in the game thread. Ryan's a b**** for trying to draw a walk in that situation. Swing the bat, dickhead. That's the reason I don't feel bad that they called him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The HUMBER Games!!! The insides of my hands were numb from clapping. Good s***. Hahaha did anyone else hear Ed Farmer butcher the call? The Score cleaned it up before Rongey's post game show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 And to think, coming into this season, I didn't even think Humber could stick in the rotation. Continue to prove me wrong, Philip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I remember being pissed off last year that Humber was starting the first game I attended of the season. As the year went on, I wasn't too happy that the great season Humber was in the midst of was being wasted by poor performances by Dunn and Rios among others. Coming into this season, I forgot Humber was part of the rotation. I respectfully apologize to Philip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Mark Buehrle's perfect game Buehrle was assisted by a dramatic ninth-inning wall-climbing catch by center fielder DeWayne Wise to rob Gabe Kapler of a home run; Wise entered the game as a defensive replacement in that inning. This was the first major league perfect game in which the pitcher and catcher were battery-mates for the first time; Ramón Castro had been acquired by the White Sox less than two months before.[41] This was also the first perfect game to feature a grand slam, by Josh Fields in the bottom of the second inning. Umpire Eric Cooper, who called the game, was behind the plate for Buehrle's previous no-hitter, as well.[42] On July 28, Buehrle followed up with another 5⅔ innings of perfection to set the major league record for consecutive batters retired at 45 (including the final batter he faced in his last appearance before the perfect game).[43] Perfect games lost to the 27th batter On June 27, 1958, Billy Pierce of the Chicago White Sox gave up a double, which landed just inches in fair territory, on his first pitch to Senators pinch hitter Ed Fitz Gerald.[63] On April 15, 1983, Milt Wilcox of the Tigers surrendered a pinch-hit single to the White Sox' Jerry Hairston, Sr.[65] Then you have the infamous Armando Galarraga/Jim Joyce incident. Halladay and Dallas Braden were the two to do it since Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm just so incredibly happy right now! It's closing up on 1am and I'm going try and get some sleep, fat chance. Philip Humber is my new hero, this is just amazing!!! I started to get nervous already in 5th and pretty much completely stopped caring about the Sox offense. I'm surprised my heart didn't collapse from this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The fact that this was a pitcher we signed off waivers...this is a guy several teams had given up on...his career was nearly over...just unbelievable story. Thanks MLB for allowing Fox to blackout this game, despite the fact that I pay $200 to watch my favorite team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got multiple PMs hinting at the same thing. If anything, I owe the White Sox an apology. The one thing they seem to be really good is taking previous trash from other teams and molding it into something useful. I didn't see a single second of this game. But I heard about it from friends, etc. Congrats to Phil. It was never personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
