Mark Buehrle has thrown a perfect game
So...Buehrle is 30 years old with 132 wins under his belt. He's averaged 15 wins a year in his first 9 seasons. He has 168 to go to get to 300. Obviously, the 300 mark is extremely tough to reach, especially in this day and age. It takes some luck and extreme consistency to reach. But Buehrle has never really been mentioned in the same class as some of the others when it comes to the 300 win conversation (or at least I haven't heard his name). EDIT...I don't think he'll reach it, I don't know if anyone ever will. But I think he's been under the radar in his career. The highest he's ever finished for the Cy Young is 5th. If he stays healthy he have quite a few career wins when it's all said and done.

Mark Buehrle has thrown a perfect game
The catch by Wise was one of the best "plays" I've ever seen. Sure there are catches at the wall all the time...but that was straight robbery at a time when a pitcher was going for a historic achievement. It was one of those plays where you just can't help but jump out of your chair and say "wow!" On that note, Hawk Harrelson still somehow found a way to make my ears bleed in the ninth inning.

What did you get for Christmas?
I'll chime in: All 3 seasons of The Office on DVD Superbad DVD - I've never actually seen it...but I hear it's good. Call of Duty 4 for the 360 Tie rack for the closet (badass) A couple shirts and some ties for work Gift cards and money And of course, underwear and socks I did pretty well this year.

Delmon Young to the Twins
Good trade for both sides. Rays get an upgrade in three areas where it was desperately needed. Twins get another (potentially) great bat to put alongside Morneau and Mauer.

NFL Week 3
Right now I have Welker going...Fitz hasn't been able to do much in the two games, and I'd hate to see his production vs. the Ravens secondary...am I thinking too much about it?

UF Student Tasered During John Kerry Speech
Where did I say I didn't 'know' that? I guess I'm the only one that finds it absurd 5 or 6 people who are trained to do this very task can't do it without the use of a weapon. You would think they'd be able to, and that's totally understandable to feel that way. I feel that way somewhat. But when it comes down to it a resisting person can not only harm cops, but themselves as well. If the cops allow him to continually squirm around, he could have easily hurt himself. Just saying. A taser, when used properly, can prevent further injury from taking place. I'm glad to see this discussion is based on the actions of the police in using force, not "free speech." If I hear one more wannabe activist college student state that this is an issue of free speech, I'm going to pull my hair out.
