Mark Buehrle throws a perfect game

Re: Mark Buerhle throws a perfect game

Are Buehrle and Johnson the only two active pitchers with multiple no-hitters? I'm pretty sure they are.

Is Nomo finally gone? Then yeah, just those two.

Given all the bad things this is a great day for the country. America needed something like this.

Is this a valid sports front story, even for my paper nowhere near Chicago? I figure yes, just for the sheer history behind it. Between this and the Tour de France, and I'm seriously leaning towards Buerhle.

That depends. Did Buerhle strike out Michael Jackson? </old crossthread>

Anyone see a time on the game? Buerhle works quick, so this one was over in what, an hour 10?

Buerhle, Johnson, Nolan Ryan and Nomo are the only guys to do it in the last 20-25 years.

Spnited's head will pop off when he finds out the catcher was Ramon Castro.

And Buehrle never shakes off the catcher, so Castro deserves a good amount of credit for this.

Interesting question raised by a coworker: Has a grand slam ever been hit in a perfect game before?

Nope. Most perfectos seem to be pretty low-scoring, actually.

Was there a rain delay?

No, Steve Trachsel was within a 1,000-mile radius. That pushed it back by an hour.

According to Wikipedia, nope.

Isn't that physically impossible? Or do you mean someone hitting a grand slam after the perfect game is lost?

He means someone from the winning team hitting a grand slam in a perfect game.

The winning team could probably do it.

Oh. That would be more logical.

Exactly.

No, but of that 2:03, Buehrle was only on the mound for 32 minutes.
