Shades of Tom Browning

04/17/2005

Did you see what Mark Buehrle did yesterday in the Chisox 2-1 victory over Seattle? The game finished in 1 hour and 39 minutes. I would feel cheated if I were at the ballpark. 🙂

Anyway, two of Buehrle’s three starts this season have finished in less than two hours, and the other game took less than two and a half.

Reminds me of ole TB, Tom Browning, who was well-known for tossing quick games.

Scotti Madison AAA Fodder, the 1989 Reds were snake bit, Larkin screwed up his arm at the AS game, Sabo got hurt, Benzinger was at 1st, Oester at 2nd, Richardson at SS.

Worst IF ever!!
