White Sox Humber throws perfect game against Mariners
Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox pitched a perfect game Saturday in a 4-0 win over the Mariners in Seattle.
Only 20 other pitchers have tossed perfect games, in which no opposing batter reaches base, in Major League history, according to MLB.com.
It was the first no-hitter of the 2012 season.
Humber threw 96 pitches, 67 for strikes, and struck out nine. The last batter he faced, Brendan Ryan, nearly spoiled the perfect game when he struck out but had to be thrown out at first when the ball got past Chicago catcher A.J. Pierzynski.
Until Humber's gem, Philadelphia's Roy Halladay had the most recent perfect game, on May 29, 2010, against Florida. Oakland's Dallas Braden had the American League's most recent perfect game, on May 9, 2010, against Tampa Bay. The last White Sox pitcher to throw a perfect game was Mark Buehrle against Tampa Bay on July 23, 2009.

Fantastic beat ! I wish to apprentice whilst you amend your website, how can i subscribe for a weblog website? The account aided me a appropriate deal. I were a little bit familiar of this your broadcast provided bright clear idea
@oak furniture
Take responsibility, move on.
Oh; and
Pay more Build faster
No double plays, no stolen bases, nobody thrown out at home. A perfectly boring game. Glad I wasn't watching. Really glad I didn't pay money to see it.
Aren't you a ray of sunshine, lol....
I saw the Sox steal a base. And the vibe in the park was AMAZING. Even the Mariners fans were cheering at every pitch!
Well, there WASN'T any action from the Mariner's side...
White Sox, on the other hand, got on base...
And scored...
GO WHITE SOX!
No offense, Maggie.
Your are obviously not a baseball person, a perfect game is the ultimate a pitcher can achieve. It's exciting to witness, I have came close 2 times in witnessing a perfect game, one was broken up legitimately and the other one the umpire messed up on a call.
A perfect game is very exciting to watch for the tension starts to build up going into the ninth inning, obviously you are not a baseball person.
Unfortunately, a tainted game.
The final pitch was a wild pitch (two feet off the plate in the middle of the left-hand batter's box) and there is simply no way the batter (Ryan?) did not check his swing. A fantastic performance and a likely no-hitter, but not a perfect game.
@ChiSoxFan – thanks for posting the video!
After watching it 5-6 times, I am still not sure that he swung (the bat seems to go parallel to the plate, but not beyond it, and Ryan's wrists did not break). He's clearly just protecting the plate and not intending to swing (he's not even halfway through his checked swing when the ball is by him and the catcher). However, I am not as sure as I was when I posted, so that is a good thing.
Thanks again!
Let us put it this way: had the ump called that swing a check-swing, it would have been 10-times as controversial. It's a discretionary call. Period. No replay that I've seen (and they've already shown it 1,000 times on TV) has shown conclusively–or even convincingly–that the call was wrong. To me, that means it was the correct call and anyone with a conscience would stop bringing it up and taking away from this man's fantastic accomplishment. It's just unfortunate what happened to Armando Gallaraga's perfect game from 2 yrs ago...
Moral of the story: Don't play for a Florida team.
Um, the Mariners are from Seattle, darlin'.
Two old men had been best friends for years, and they both live to their early 90's, when one of them suddenly falls deathly ill. His friend comes to visit him on his deathbed, and they're reminiscing about their long friendship, when the dying man's friend asks, "Listen, when you die, do me a favor. I want to know if there's baseball in heaven."
The dying man said, "We've been friends for years, this I'll do for you." And then he dies.
A couple days later, his surviving friend is sleeping when he hears his friend's voice. The voice says, "I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that there's baseball in heaven."
"What's the bad news?"
"You're pitching on Wednesday
Cute....
You have for all occasions, don't you, my friend?
A recent Scottish immigrant attends his first baseball game in his new country and after a base hit he hears the fans roaring run....run! The next batter connects heavily with the ball and the Scotsman stands up and roars with the crowd in his thick accent: "R-r-run, r-run will ya!" A third batter slams a hit and again the Scotsman, obviously pleased with his knowledge of the game, screams "R-r-run, r-r-run will ya!" The next batter held his swing at three and two and as the ump calls a walk the Scotsman stands up yelling "R-r-run, r-r-run!" All the surrounding fans giggle quietly and he sits down confused.
A friendly fan, sensing his embarrassment whisper, "He doesn't have to run, he's got four balls."
After this explanation the Scotsman stands up in disbelief and screams, "Walk with pr-r-ride man! Walk with pr-r-ride
Is it Scott from the lawn commercials?
Feed it!
I was so excited watching the game that I pooped in my Depends during the 4th quarter.
It has been years since a Humber got this much attention.
