Buehrle is perfect through 7

OK, since I was an eye-witness to "history" I will give my opinion.

Here is the thing, I had absolutely ZERO emotional investment in this game, so for me it never had that OMG feeling. Maybe it was the fact that we were in the upperdeck and practically no one behind us so I didn't exactly feel the electricity that you would think there would be. Perhaps in the lower bowl it was different since there were more people. And again, for better or worse, I was pretty much detached emotionally. I wasn't nearly as upset as I thought I would be yet neither did I have a sense of amazement or anything like that. I do think I would have been more annoyed if I watched it on tv, I don't know why. Don't get me wrong, I was hoping for someone to ruin it right to the last out, but I never had any outward emotions either way. It was the most zen-like detachment I've had at a baseball game ever.

And this is what I think it comes down to, I can't be impressed or taken back by something I truly am not concerned with. It could have been the Mariners and the Rangers for all I cared. Was it a good game? Absolutely. You couldn't have scripted it any better, I mean that catch was right out of a movie. If this was the Cubs I would have been floating on air, because I have devoted every ounce of my emotions to them for 40 years. They are the only thing in all sports that I truly care about. Everything else is just nothing to me.

I'm sorry if this offends any of you, and while I can appreciate the significance of the feat, I have no feelings of awe or a sense of being fortunate. That has been 100% reserved solely for the Cubs.
