Looking to give the "Perfect Blog" today

Well, this afternoon was a perfect one for Mark Buehrle and the Chicago White Sox. Of course, I was doing other things at the office, but when word came over he was into the eighth with a perfect game in tact, I was glued to the Game Tracker, then the radio in the car outside of the office (Yes, 670 AM The Score reaches West Bend).

I tuned in just in time to hear Dewayne Wise make a home-run stealing catch on Gabe Kapler's shot to left center field. It sounded good when I heard it, but after seeing it, I knew it was crazy. Wow. The story is every perfect game and no-hitter seems to have a defensive play that is amazing and that fit the bill in this one.

Here's your comb around the Interweb for some stories on the gem of a game pitched by the somehow underappreciated southpaw. Mike Bauman talks just about that fact here and this one talks about Mark getting a call from Chicagoan who just happens to be President, Barack Obama.
Those are on MLB.com, these are on ESPNChicago.com. Nick Friedell writes how the scene was (obviously) wild at U.S. Cellular Field and this story looks back at his first career no-hitter in the bigs, back on April 18, 2007.
Finally, here's a look back at all the perfect games in MLB history as this was the first in 10 years. It was also the first no-hitter of the 2009 season. Here's a look back at the rest of the no-hitters in MLB history.

Yesterday, the main feature here was the Lebron dunk video and, to be honest, it was such a disappointment. So lame. Well, Ebaumsworld.com got a much clearer one. Same play, just as lame. Was reading a story on SI.com on the matter of confiscating the tapes and what it does for LeBron and I might agree with him a little bit. Take a read for yourself.
Here's the new dunk video:



Another great video today that I found today on SI.com's Hot Clicks, one of my usual spots, is this Joe Flacco NFL.com "Fantasy Files" They had the same feature last year. Take a look at some of the best here.



OK boys and girls, I've told you before I was a big fan of Entourage and this week's episode was a damn good one. But apparently Seth Rogen didn't get the joke. He's pissed about Turtle and the gang making fun of his fatness and looks. Here's the story.

While I'm on the subject of Entourage, I always have to make time to mention Sloan, or Emmanuelle Chriqui, who is one of my favorites on the show. Apparently Perry Reeves really likes her breasts. And well, how can you not? That folks, is our Nussie Hunter for the day!



A programming note for you: Tomorrow I'm covering baseball all day and won't have time to get a post in for sure. So might have a 3-day weekend as I make a trip back to Cuba City to handle some business and then see some friends. Keep looking for some great web knowledge.
