When a No-No Is a Good Thing
April 19, 2007
White Sox baseball fan that I am, I just can’t go without mentioning White Sox’ Mark Buehrle pitching a no-hitter last night (and you’ve no idea how many times I told myself I really shouldn’t blog about this!).
I actually saw only the final two outs of the game. My husband got home from church last night and turned on the game. The crowd was going nuts which I thought was a little odd. Sure, the Sox haven’t had a great season so far, but why the intensity of the crowd? I mentioned to DH that it sounded like a playoff game. Then the last guy ground out, catcher A.J. Pierzynski rushed Buehrle, and that’s when we realized we’d just missed a no-hitter.
But that’s okay. The encore presentation starts shortly. If you’ll excuse me, I must go make popcorn. Go, Sox!

yay! go white sox! i’ve been a fan since i was 8 and i seemed to be in the minority since everyone else liked the cubs. so happy when they won the world series in 05.
Don’t you just hate being the forgotten team? ‘05 was a ton of fun. I replayed the games during last years’ World Series.
Now I’ll have to apologize to my friend Julie, a Cards’ fan!
Oh no, you did not just say that. Too bad for you. It was a great series for the Cardinal fans!
I saw the highlights of Buehrle’s achievements this morning with the boys. Way to go, Sox!!
Yeah, my bad.
Honestly, I did see a bit of each game and did watch the final few innings. The celebration at a home stadium looked so fun. Would love to see that in Chicago some day!
And a SOX fan to boot! Double Woo HOO!
Thanks for coming by!

Finally checked your site out! Very cool! I’m hoping for another no hitter when I’m at the game Sunday! Ok a win is good too….
A win is no longer enough! We need no-hitters. No, scratch that — perfect games. I want a perfect game!
