Buehrle’s play in fifth inning leaves everyone in awe
If you happened to be visiting the bathroom at the most inopportune time Monday or if you were bent over searching for a contact lens or if for some deeply held yet tragically misguided reason you have sworn off TV sports, let me tell you about Mark Buehrle’s fielding play.
I’m not sure I’ll do it justice. I’m not sure replays do it justice.
This was the fifth inning of the White Sox’ 6-0 Opening Day victory over Cleveland, and their pitcher was rolling along, smooth as fresh pavement. Indians catcher Lou Marson hit a hard grounder back at Buehrle, who instinctively made like Blackhawks goalie Antti Niemi and kicked at the ball with his left leg. Big save.
The ball caromed toward the first-base line, and Buehrle gave chase. It looked futile, but somebody forgot to tell the Sox ace this. When he arrived at the intersection of Forget It and Dude, You Have No Chance, Buehrle scooped up the ball with his glove and, without looking, flipped it in one motion between his legs to first baseman Paul Konerko, who caught it barehanded.

Jose Contreras excellent in 4-2 Chicago White Sox victory
It was another big game in the minds of several White Sox, but there was even more at stake for mercurial pitcher Jose Contreras.
In outdueling American League All-Star Zack Greinke, Contreras dipped deeper into his array of resources Wednesday to alleviate doubts about his abilities and the back end of the Sox’s rotation.
Sox players now can rest their minds — and legs — Thursday before a stretch of 20 games without a day off after Contreras pitched seven innings of three-hit ball to beat the Royals 4-2. They are now just two games behind the Tigers in the American League Central.
