(gotta hand it to Buehrle though, very impressive, and against a real team too)
he's one of the greatest lefties of all time- never gets injured and always throw 200 innings. he also did it against the rangers (i was there) who also had a potent offense. sammy ruined the perfect game by walking but was promptly picked off!!!

Come on. He is a very good pitcher and what he did today was incredible but one of the best lefties of all time, Please
he was at one point... i dont think hes allowed to switch back again after writing "all the way" :P
Back when him and Jack McDowell were friends (backwords Sox hat on SNL and Unplugged), but he grew up a Cubs fan.. I give Cubs fans shit, but I'd rather they stay true. Switching over is a sign of weekness. Only people we want to grab are new recruits.
very true, as Jayson Stark just said, he is the most underrated current pitcher in baseball. He's not only known as the best athlete on the team by players and coaches, but he is adored in Chicago.

Well shit, if Jayson Stark said it, it must be true. Being one of the most underrated pitchers in baseball does not make you one of the best lefties to ever play the game.

of active players,
he is 19th in ERA, 5th amoung lefties.
17th in winning %, 8th amoung Lefties
i'd say he is above average, but not yet amoung the all time greats.
81 is now off the air

no, it doesn't make you one of the best ever, but it's worth mentioning either way. I mention Stark because he was just discussing it about 2 minutes ago on TV. Regardless, he's only 30 so we all hope he'll be around for a long time. Congrats Sox fans!!!!

he said he is retiring when his current contract is up.

Really? That is suprising, he is only signed through 2011. Hopefully he sticks around.
Days like today are the reason baseball is such a great game!
One of many.
Amazing accomplishment for Buehrle! That's huge!
I was just thinking the other day that they come about every five years lately: David Cone's was 10 years ago last Saturday, and Randy Johnson's was in 2004. So right on schedule.
oh yeah... and during the press conference after the game when buehrle was getting interviewed, one guy interrupted and told buehrle that the president had called wanting to speak to and congratulate him.
and about the thread title... eddie should definately still be a cubs fan!!

I think he owes him a car now!

Should I keep going? He is not even in the same universe as these guys. He is a good pitcher and what he did today is very special but come on.

I've demanded my team (Pirates) trade me before the deadline, if not, i'm leaving as a free agent fan at the end of the season.

Fair enough, I will agree he is incredibly underrated and what he did today was awesome.
he said he is retiring when his current contract is up.

Now, if they would only recognize poor Harvey Haddix's game...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Haddix
Those numbers dont tell the whole story...like pitching in US Cellular field, mound being lowered, steroids, etc....
look at how many people have ever pitched a perfect game...and buehrle almost did it twice.
how many pitchers have faced the least amount of batters possible twice?
And again...Buehrle, in THAT park, on a good day to hit, against THAT lineup, with THOSE terrible defenders behind him! Incredible...
Nuclear fission
Yeah, that was crazy!
Nuclear fission
and about the thread title... eddie should definately still be a cubs fan!!
Instead of saying +1 I'll say Bump! But bump sucks almost as bad as +1 So I'll say
GOOD POINT!
