Pumpkin Escobar Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:37 PM) I no longer disagree with keeping him over BA. QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) I don't know if BA woulda GOTTEN to that ball. Wise went a loooooooong way and BA isn't as fast. BUt, you know what...? WHO GIVES A s***?!?! MARK BUEHRLE GOT A PERFECT GAME!!! QUOTE (The Baconator @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) ... but he didn't... because he's in AAA. In the post game Ozzie said "We keep him for a reason". Right there.

kwolf68 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) Nothing will ever top Konerko's slam for me. But I've never gotten as loud/hype as I did after Wise made that catch. Podsednik's homer is way up there for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 05:01 PM) Podsednik's homer is way up there for me. #1 for me is Hester's opening kickoff for a TD. At one point in the game the Bears led that game by a TD. Then the game stopped and nothing else happened. At least that's what I remember.

caulfield12 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 http://www.cnn.com/ Buehrle and DeWayne Wise are the main story in the entire US right now. Someone should do a screen save... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 By the way I am, for the time being at least, happy with DeWayne Wise... something just doesn't feel right about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 One of the best defensive plays Ive ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Congratulations WISE!!! Heck of a play! Second big play this year. Keep shutting us up! That was a truly spectacular catch at a special moment. HUGE! Edited July 23, 2009 by 103 mph screwball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyons Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 For some reason, it makes watching a no-no so much cooler when there's a great catch to preserve it; it not only enhances the drama, but almost creates a sense of the inevitable. As a kid growing up in Chicago, I remember seeing highlights of Billy Williams leaping into Wrigley's vines to preserve one for Kenny Holtzman. I vividly remember watching OneDog lay out to keep Wilson Alvarez's alive in his first White Sox start. This one, coming in the 9th to preserve a perfecto, was the ultimate. All things considered, it was one of the greatest catches I've ever seen PERIOD, and will be remembered by each of us forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) He gets a break today, that catch was incredible, but he needs to contribute in other areas. No one gets a free pass, not even today. Edited July 23, 2009 by Thunderbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 QUOTE (Linnwood @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:15 PM) I will never talk s*** about Wise ever again. I won't hesitate to correctly point out that Wise can't hit for sh*t. But he's beginning to grow on me defensively. Dude's made some VERY nice plays out in CF this year, and I give credit where credit is due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
