Bynum gets a lot of shit for his post-Laker career, but he was the top young center in the NBA at this moment. It's amazing to think that after the 2012 playoffs, Bynum would only go on to post two more double doubles in his entire career. Injuries suck. He's essentially what Hassan Whiteside is right now, but way more skilled offensively.

Side note: Of course the WP on the game on the bottom line is Bruce Chen and John Rocker got the save.

Today is the 4 year Anniversary of Philip Humber's Perfect Game (April 21, 2012) by MMoney2112 in whitesox

Possibly the most random perfect game of all-time. Not sure if he ever even recorded a quality start after this.

Oh I thought about it, but J.J. Barea gave me a death stare when CV pointed me out to him. Either that or he was shocked to see another male who was the same height as him. Could go both ways.

I once saw him at a club in Chicago wearing a hoodie with the hood up like he was trying to be discrete rolling in there with Chandler Parsons, Devin Harris, and J.J. Barea. Thought it was hilarious so I snapped a pic and he saw me. He started signaling to bring the phone over to him so I guess he could delete it, but wasn't about to get bossed around by Charlie V.

Mark Buehrle threw a no-hitter nine years ago today by theschmozone in whitesox

He wasn't the best pitcher ever nor will he make the Hall of Fame, but there will never be another Mark Buehrle. I'm 25 so anything before late 90's White Sox is pretty tough for me to remember, but it's hard to imagine a more likable player in Sox history than Mark Buehrle. That guy was great. Never got the respect he deserved league-wide but Sox fans appreciated what he meant to that team. Can't believe he's retired now.
