But, seriously! Today is a day for the White Sox history books. [ Mark Buehrle pitched his second career no hitter ] (the first guy to do that since like 1908) and the first White Sox perfect game since 1922. It was around the 5th that I realized that it was happening. And there were a few close calls. But, congratulations to Mark Buehrle! Finally, the Sox will get some time in the highlights. At least one guy appreciates what the Sox are doing: [ Barack Obama, who dragged Buehrle away from his post-game interview to congratulate him over the phone. ]
After today, the Sox are tied for first place with the Tigers. While this is exciting news, the Sox are headed for a road trip against the Tigers (including a double-header) and one against the Twins before coming home to play the Yanks. It’ll be a difficult couple of weeks, but the Sox have restored hope to the fans.
Speaking of restorations, Bartolo Colon will be brought up from the Minors to pitch against the Tigers tomorrow. No spectacular news has come from the minors about him, but we can only hope he can keep us in the game.
And now, a time for national recognition!

Mark Buerle...perfect game..."nuf said"...
Hey, Interesting post. I’ve found a number of your other posts intriguing as well and I thought that, since you are interested in blogging, you might want to check out a site called timelines.com.
At timelines.com we’re trying to create a kind of user-generated history by creating events that are then linked together into time lines; no event is too big or too small. Since you are obviously also interested in baseball and the White Sox, you should check out the baseball (http://timelines.com/topics/baseball) and “perfect game” (http://timelines.com/topics/perfect-game) time lines we’re working on.
I’d also encourage you to sign up for the site and start creating your own White Sox, baseball or any other kind of events so that you can link to them from your blog. And you can use excerpts from some of your blog posts in creating the events so that they then link back to your blog, as well.
So, please check out the site when you have some time and let me know what you think. Thank you.
