The Red Sox are off today, going home after an unmitigated disaster of a road trip to face the Orioles, followed by the Athletics.
Baseball Nation turns its lonely eyes to Chicago, where Mark Buehrle, a right handed veteran pitcher who is most often remembered for, well, being a right handed veteran pitcher, threw a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Naughty Fish.
That's not just a no hitter-Buehrle already had one of them. But this is, really, as the name implies-perfection. Nobody on base-no walks, no hits, no errors, no nothing. 27 guys come up to the plate, and every blinking one makes an out.
Hats off to Buehrle for doing something as well as it can possibly be done.
Did you happen to see the catch by Dewayne Wise in the 9th. I caught it on the highlights. It was pretty amazing.
