October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) I am so very sad to see this. Mark is one of my all time favorite players. One of my favorites too and he has remained that since he left the Sox which is probably true for all of us. I was at the game when he made his major league debut. I was impressed right off the bat. He'll be missed. I was hoping to watch him in the playoffs. The Blue Jays have been a fun team to watch this year. I hope if he wants a job in baseball the Sox offer him one, minor league instructor...anything.
October 4, 201510 yr I wonder if Buehrle would consider coming back to the Sox as a reliever for one season? Likely wishful thinking on my part since Buehrle has had a few cortisone shots in his shoulder this year but I still cling to some hope.

October 4, 201510 yr Great player, class guy. Had a tremendous career. Wish him all the best in retirement. Mark
October 4, 201510 yr His number has to be retired at some point, right? He's one of the best pitchers to ever put a Sox uniform on.
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 05:10 PM) it would great and fitting, if he can be at spring training and pitch the opening day.... for 1 pitch and then leave and retire. i really thought he would sign as a free agent.... I doubt the Sox would mess with something like that on Opening Day next season. Sox are going to have enough to worry about in trying to start winning games. Also Mark's body isn't exactly perfectly sculped. If he does retire and takes the winter off, I'd suspect it might be a mockery to put him in uniform and on the mound. I'd suspect he'll be out of shape big time after the winter.

I'm sure they'll do something ceremonial to have him retire a White Sox. It's goofy, but some guys like to do that for closure.

October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) Mark doesn't seem like the type of guy that would want to do that though. I agree. On his own, he wouldn't ask for that. The Sox, on the other hand, are all about doing token gestures. They have to initiate him into the cult.
October 4, 201510 yr Stupid Goins with the error. This is borderline not a cool move by the Blue Jays trying for homefield. I was hoping for it be a quick, painless two innings.
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 02:13 PM) Mark doesn't seem like the type of guy that would want to do that though. He also didn't seem like the type of guy who would pitch two innings on one days rest for an arbitrary record, but here he goes.
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) He also didn't seem like the type of guy who would pitch two innings on one days rest for an arbitrary record, but here he goes. I've heard a couple people say his teammates and Gibbons wanted it for him.
October 4, 201510 yr Umpire isn't helping him out either. Walks in a run. f***ing Goins messed up bad on routine grounder to start the inning if you missed it. Edited October 4, 201510 yr by flavum
October 4, 201510 yr shame that's how his career ends. Come back to Chicago for one final game next year
October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 07:40 PM) Look, I love the guy. But this was a nice thought that shouldn't have happened. The way it worked out. Second guessing is easy. He should have had an easy inning. Two errors including the first batter. s*** happens.

October 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 4, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) I was against it on Friday night. My bad then. You were right but I still say if the defense makes the play right away it mighta been fine to do.
