in the daily news yesterday monty said that they probably wont push for an all star game before 2026 because they want the game in philly on americas 250th birthday and if they get one before then they most likely wont also be able to get that one

Anyone tell Monty that the NL hosts in odd years now?

The KC 2013 one might as well be set in stone.

Jim Thome had a 3 run homer and a grand slam last night back to back. The slam was an absolute bomb to center. I never realized that the White Sox set off fireworks after one of their players hits a home run, though.

Holdover from the Bill Veeck years, I believe.

CF Wise for the White Sox just made an incredible catch in the 9th inning to help save Burley's (spelled that wrong) perfect game so far.

1 more out for a perfect name.

MDS · July 23, 2009, 04:12:57 PM

and he was put into the game in the 9th for defense

one of the best defensive plays i have ever seen. that ball game out of his glove and he caught it with his hand. unreal.

Rome · July 23, 2009, 04:13:09 PM

Only the 18th time in history.

Amazing.

And and incredible frigging catch to save it too.

Feva · July 24, 2009, 11:02:01 AM

It's amazing to listen to the play because the crowd is cheering as Buerle throws the pitch, they go silent as theball is hit... and then they go absolutely nuts when Wise makes the catch.

On a side note, SportsCenter showed pretty cool video of the reaction in the Phils locker room as Wise made the catch.
