Phil Humber of the White Sox Threw the 21st Perfect Game in MLB History

Phil Humber of the Chicago White Sox just threw the 21st perfect game in Major League Baseball history. Humber stymied the Seattle Mariners, needing just 97 pitches (68 strikes) to face and retire all 27 hitters at Safeco Field. Humber finished with nine strikeouts.

It was the first no-hitter of the season and the first since May 2010, when Oakland’s Dallas Barden and Philadelphia’s Roy Halladay threw perfect games just 20 days apart. Humber is in his 7th season and has spent time with the Mets, Twins, Royals and now the White Sox.

And on cue, the red sox bullpen gives up a grand slam..now yankees behind 9-5. Fucking ridiculous…Doubront had a great game and the bullpen fucks it up…now 9-8

And as far as the last strike is concerned i think he may have earned a break/call

This isnt even Bobby Valentine’s fault. This is on the terrible bullpen, GM, and executives for putting together such a terrible staff. Fuck all them for putting Daniel Bard in the rotation. Assholes. Cunts.

I feel bad for the guys in the field. They hit the shit out of the ball today, Doubront pitches great, and those dumb fuckers in the pen cant get people out.

This team is worse than last year’s slow starting team. If beckett and lester don’t get their acts together, boston will finish in last place. Book it.
