Holy crap, I don't see how these guys do stuff like this. I only got to watch the last at-bat and I about peed myself.

Re: Mark Buerhle throws a perfect game

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.

Good for Buehrle, one of the Pale Hose who it's hard to hate.

Erroneous! All Pale Hose are easy to hate (now that Lance Broadway has been traded).

And nietsroob: Hell yes.

If you've got nothing else local or nothing else local on the wire, then yeah, this is the biggest sports story of the day.

Used to be, not long ago, that ANY no-hitter was front-of-the-section news automatically. That's changed, for most papers.

All no-hitters make the cover if I'm in the chair.

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

Re: Mark Buerhle throws a perfect game

If the story isn't out front, you've got to tease from front of sports with a pic of Buehrle. Even if you're not in a market with a major-league team, it's what sports fans will be talking about tomorrow.

Great thing about a no-hitter/perfect game is that you stop what you're doing. I saw it was through six and had to go find it on TV, stop what I was doing. Not much in sports makes me do that.

A perfect game or the Tour de France? Seriously? That's even a debate?

A perfect game happens, on average, less than twice a decade.

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

Seriously?
I assume you're a morning paper. By the time a lot of your readers get the paper, the next stage of the Tour de France will be starting or over. And it's a Tour de France that Lance Armstrong has faded in. It's a niche sport whose biggest star (here, at least) is not in the mix.
Even though Buerhle's gem was a day game, it's baseball, it's history and it's rare. People care.
The correct answer is Buerhle. All day long.
