The quote of the day goes to Mark Buehrle:
What just happened?It was 42 degrees outside and nearly 9:15 at night. Chicago White Sox starter Mark Buehrle (1-0, 2.08 ERA) had just polished off the first no-hitter of his career against the Texas Rangers, ending in a 6-0 victory.
The 28-year-old lefty allowed only a fifth-inning walk to Sammy Sosa, before promptly picking him off at first.
Amid the ninth inning chaos, with no one daring to utter the N-word, Buehrle zeroed in on the outside corner for a 90-mph fastball to freeze Matt Kata looking for the first out. Then he pulled the string on Nelson Cruz for the second out, his eighth K of the evening. Gerald Laird's soft grounder ended the game and the beer-shower from his teammates was imminent.
Jim Thome went 2-for-2 with 2 RBIs, So Taguchi had a 2-for-4 evening with a run scored and Jermaine Dye hit a Grand Slam in the fifth... completely overshadowed by Buehrle's spectacular pitching performance.

Marky Mark, you're so humble.
I thought King Felix was supposed to have the nono last night!
Megs... you're terrible.

I know it.
I hate Mark Burly. This makes me hate him even more.
