Buehrle's Perfect Game is a gem


1st perfect game. 2nd no-hitter. Mark Buehrle is a force to be reckon with and is one of the most underrated Southpaws in the big leagues. In his ten year career he has pitched at least 200 innings a year and in 7 of those years has 100+ strikeouts. He has double-digits wins every year since 2001 and a winning record in every year but one.
I have always thought when a pitcher throws a no-hitter he is a special player. After the catch wendy nix made stealing a homerun from Gabe Kapler viewers realized they were seeing history in the making. A great day for baseball a great day for all.

Watson Chokes at British Open

"Where's the hole"?

After Tom Watson missed this 8 foot putt that came up 4 feet short on the 18th hole that cost him the major, I knew it was over for Watson. He would have won his 10th major at an unbelievable 59 years old that would have made him the oldest winner of a major by more than a decade. If Watson had hit that putt the world would be a better place.
Old Old men from across the world would dust off those old clubs and see too if they could feel a bit younger.

Stewart Cink who won his first major, officially solidified himself as one of the best American golfers in the game today. He does it all. When he hit the back 9 on Sunday he knew he had a legitimate shot at winning. No one was making putts and it took only one guy to make some birdies to take down Watson.
