Mark Buerhle > Jack Morris?

A fastball to the crotch > Draft Kings

 

No, 200 innings a year for 14 straight years.

 

King Felix has a chance, 93Devil.

He's had eight straight seasons of 200-plus innings, and in his first two seasons, it was 190 and 191. If Hernandez (age 29) stays healthy, he'll approach or beat 14 straight years.

 

Buehrle is not planning on playing in 2016, though he may return in 2017:

Mark Buehrle Rumors - MLB Trade Rumors

 

Unless 4.00-ERA Jack did shots of Jim Beam before Game 7, the question posed by this thread is now officially settled:

Mark Buehrle finally admits he drank a few beers before 2005 World Series save

 

And it was just like one or two beers.

Every time I grabbed one, I’d go over and check in with the coaches.

“Hey, you guys are sure you’re not going to need me, right?”

“No, Mark. You are not pitching today. You just went.”

So I’d hear that and grab a beer.

It was only like three beers…

Just like everyone ever pulled over for suspected drunk driving!

 

Laughs.

 

I guess I put the jinx on good ol' Felix ...

 

Took the boy to Mark Buehrle Day yesterday on the South Side. Packed house. Perfect weather. Enthusiasm for the honoree at fever pitch.

One is reminded, first, what a regional game MLB is - I'm sure there are people in other cities a little befuddled that a guy who won't sniff Cooperstown gets the red carpet rollout. Also, one is reminded how important being a key cog on a championship team is to a player's legacy in a city. Now begins, basically, those decades where we watch those '05 guys grow old, just like I remember the '59 guys coming back for various ceremonies and occasions as I grew up.

I don't know. Baseball is just cool.

My 8-year-old asked for a Buehrle jersey as we were walking out.
