Things to Read: 7/27by Ricky O'Donnell on July 27 at 3:07PM
This is the new (hopefully) daily p.m. link dump here at TUP. You can send submissions to rickhouse@blogsbyfans.com. And don't forget about my Sox post below. But first, video of Ozzie calling Beckham 'Bacon'. Starts around the 00:28 mark. Priceless. Make this stick! Deadspin: 'Bron smoked chron. When I grow up, I want to be like Tommy Craggs. El Lefty Malo: BBF's Giants blogger looks at Buehrle's perfecto compared to Jonathon Sanchez's no-no. But hype and perfection and Obama aside, Jonathan Sanchez was better. The one baserunner he "allowed" was not his fault -- the error by Juan Uribe. If we ignore baseball tradition (generally a good thing to do), we see rationally that Sanchez shouldn't be penalized for one small mistake by a teammate. We can't call it a "perfect game," because it wasn't 27 up, 27 down, but without a walk (like Buehrle, obviously) -- and with 11 strikeouts, compared to Buehrle's six -- Sanchez was more dominant. Leave it to Juan Uribe to ruin everything. NBC Chicago: The Cubbies are in first. The taller they are, the harder they fall. Ziller: The Bulls won't let Deng play for Team Queen. Biggs' Bears blog: How many wins is Jay Cutler worth? Brad Biggs is one mainstream reporter who isn't scared of advanced statistics. SouthSideSox: The Cheat on Clayton Richard. Big League Stew: Should Pete Rose be in the Hall of Fame? FanIQ (via DDW): The 25 best Rickey Henderson stories. EveryDayShouldBeSaturday: Questions that will not be asked at Big 10 media day. Including: "Coach [REDACTED}, can Juice Williams hit this with a football? [/points to broad side of barn]" Margot on Myspace: On album No. 3: The past couple weeks have seen work on "let's paint our teeth green", "earth to aliens:what do you want?", and "Arvydas Sabonis".Arvydas Sabonis, THE GREATEST LITHUANIAN BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL-TIME!?  Who knew Margot liked the NBA? I always assumed they only liked heroine. via Stereogum: Every time Rivers writes a new song, part me of dies. This one is particularly awful. And a music video. After the jump... Smoking Popes - I Know You Love Me |

Hey Rick, love the website. I love reading about sports, but I am really looking for a good website to learn about sunburns. Would you happen to know any?
Er, I always forget. Tomorrow, promise.
Looking at who was playing behind Buehrle during el perfecto makes it that much more remarkable:
C Ramon Castro (rapist, never caught Buehrle before)
1B Josh Fields (not known for his glove or masculinity on either side of the infield)
2B Chris Getz (rookie, Michigan poof)
SS Alexai Ramirez (Cuban... 'nuff said)
3B Gordon Beckham (rookie, converted shortstop, heartbreaker, I'm essentially best friends with the guy)
LF Carlos Quentin (couldn't play defence even before plantar fasciatis)
CF Scott Podsednik* (makes Q look like Willy Mays, runs like Legalos)
RF Jermaine Dye (used to be great in the field, now slow and aging)
How could anyone have thrown a perfect game with this squad behind them?
*not including Wise, although if he wasn't out there it wouldn't have happened.
1. Haha, Uribe.
2. 10) A reporter asked Henderson if Ken Caminiti’s estimate that 50 percent of Major League players were taking steroids was accurate. His response was, “Well, Rickey’s not one of them, so that’s 49 percent right there.”
11) Henderson broke Ty Cobb’s career record for runs scored with a home run. After taking his usual 45 seconds or so around the bases, Rickey slid into home plate.
Haha. The Olerud one was great, too.
3. I like that people recognize the Sox had a pretty weak D set up in the Buehrle perfect game, and everybody calls out the infield (fair) and 2/3 of the outfield (fair), but the calling out Dye is weak. He's a solid RF. People just say 'old' and kinda move on... just seems kinda lazy to me.
