Sox Machine: Beyond Buehrle: A perfect day for imperfect players
By throwing a perfect game to go along with his no-hitter, Mark Buehrle joined four Hall of Famers and a virtual Cooperstown lock as the only pitchers with one of each.
He also became the only pitcher since 1954 (that’s as far as Baseball-Reference.com’s Play Index goes back) to face the minimum over nine innings on three different occasions.
To achieve such monumental feats, however, he needed the efforts of three guys whose careers won’t amount to Buehrle’s… even if you combined them.
It took Dewayne Wise.

In a surprising move, the Sox 10th man is now their 9th man. The fans will be playing second base.

i think if he manages another no-no
it would only take about 70-80 more wins

by trademaker on May 30, 2009 10:31 PM PDT
yeah i agree
if a guy manages 3 no-hitters, even if his numbers aren’t fantastic, you have to consider that perhaps there was something there that the numbers don’t capture.
Also I forgot to mention.. if he somehow got 2 CY Youngs.. that’d probably work
lets get one first
but i like the way you think

this year hes definately in the running
hes leading the AL in wins and win percentage right now with a 3.28 era which is good for 8th in the AL.

greinke has already won the award.

Not sure if this was jbasic's point...
but how many of the people who vote for Cy Young have any idea what ERA+ is?
i think most people can figure out "hey, his ERA is way lower than everyone else's"

he's second currently with 10. the leaders have 11. unless someone goes on a tear, i'm thinking wins won't be an issue.

It's a long season he hasn't won anything yet
Greinke is 2-4 since June with an era over 3.0 and hasn’t been anywhere near as dominant as he was in April and May. He’s in the mix right now for it but to say he has won it is rediculous. Halladay, Verlander, Fernandez, Beckett and Buehrle are all in it at this stage of the season.
Sox win, cubs lose.....what a wonderful world!
imo, and keep in mind i am very biased
probably another 100 wins

I agree -- highly unlikely HOF at this level unless he pitches forever (which he doesn't seem inclined to do). If he got hit by a bus tomorrow, he'd get his number retired by the Sox.

not sure, I heard it on comcast today
I think they said there was a dp and a pickoff or caught stealing in that game. He’s also the only pitcher to do that (face the minimum in 3 games)

Right, that's the stat I'm referring to.
