A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A PERFECT GAME: Congratulations to Mark Buehrle of the White Sox for mowing down a talented Rays lineup for only the 18th perfect game in MLB history. But he owes DeWayne Wise some Isotoners for getting a great jump, getting the route exactly right (seriously, there is no wiggle at all to the line he took), and going into a dead sprint and perfectly-timed jump to hunt down and strangle what looks like it otherwise would have been a Gabe Kapler home run while crashing into the wall. That's an absolutely perfect defensive play (by a guy who can't hit a lick but who is probably one of only a handful of outfielders in the majors who could make that play) to save a perfect game. I've watched it maybe 10 times now and it's still awesome. I don't know if chicks still dig the long ball, but there may not be anything I love more in baseball right now than outfield defense.
