It's not every day that perfection pays a visit to the sports world. Before Thursday, only seventeen pitchers, in the history of Major League Baseball, retired all 27 batters faced in a game. Mark Buehrle made it 18. In so doing, the southpaw rubs elbows with some elite company. Buehrle held Tampa Bay without any baserunners while striking out six.

Performance Of The Week 7/13 – 7/19

Hopefully, taking down the world's number one team in convincing fashion will lead to big things for the 2010 World Cup. As of right now, we can bask in the glow of the US team advancing to a FIFA final for the first time … [Read more...] about Performance Of The Week 6/22 – 6/28
