Congrats to Mark Buehrle blah, blah, blah, blah ...
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy blah, blah, blah, blah ...
Only the 18th perfect game in history blah, blah, blah, blah ...
Sorry. There's really not much more to be said. Except ...
I hope Buehrle plans on buying manager Ozzie Guillen and replacement center fielder Dewayne Wise a case of beer each, because Scott Podsednik -- no disrespect -- just doesn't have the height or the hops to get to that ball hit by Gabe Kapler. Ozzie made the move (disregarding proper perfect-game protocol), Wise made the grab, and the rest is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Tip of the Cup. Who else? But let's at least acknowledge Buehrle's catcher Ramon Castro here with an honorary tip (you know, just a quick, two-finger pinch).
Short on BS. Rain. Travel day. Those pesky perfect games. Whatever the reason, only four save situations Thursday and one blown: Joe Nathan, Minnesota (3).

I bet a lot of people never heard (outside of the SF Bay area) that Jonathan Sanchez also threw a * "perfect" game for the Giants just a couple of weeks ago. The error that kept it from being a true perfect game was truly a blatant error and not some "drummed-up" error recorded by a biased scorekeeper which, in the past, has helped some pitchers record no-hitters. He gave up no hits and no walks, so in my mind, that should be a perfect game for the pitcher, but , of course, not for the team.
