This catch by defensive replacement DeWayne Wise in the 9th inning of today’s White Sox-Rays matchup saved Mark Buehrle’s perfect game. What a holy-shit moment.

Yeah, I hope it gets a name. It could be called “The Wise Substitution.” Sounds like a painting: Guillen, Buehrle and Wise, with halos. Also, curious to know if Obama watched it, and if so, when he tuned in.
CNN reports a congradulatory call from the White House.

And I was there! Just a few rows behind the White Sox dugout!! It was the most awesome sports experience of my life. When Wise grabbed that ball the sold-out stadium went crazy-ass nuts. I’m sure people on the Dan Ryan could hear the roar of the crowd. There were a load of summer camp kiddies in the upper-deck cheap seats, what a memory for them. And me. Still buzzed about it.
