The Buehrle Bile File Says...

Since Mr Buehrle's opponent tonight happens to be named after a city that happens to be named after a religious figure who supposedly attends to God, we'll stick with that theme and make an outrageous claim.

Almost everyone has once heard the parable of the Good Samaritan, and how he helped care for his Jewish mortal enemy after he was mugged and left for dead on the roadside. His act of kindness was a lesson to all to care for all mankind, even those you hate.

Well, we kinda feel like Mark Buehrle's Good Samaritan, and we have aided in what can only be considered a miraculous turn around in Mark Buehrle's pitching -- our aide coming in the form of utter honesty. To wit: In the 6 starts prior to the first Buehrle Bile File post, Mark was 0-5 with a 9.92 ERA. Since our playing the Jay Mariotti role to Buehrle's Ozzie , in his last 7 starts he's 3-3 with a 5.00 ERA. Yes, since our fray into the journalistic outhouse, we've helped Mark win 300x times as many games and cut his ERA in half!

We picked him off the deck, dusted him off and gave him reason to pause his lousy pitching. He saw the light. He came to his senses.

But he still lost 3 friggin' games (sorry, God, I stop with the swares)! And we'll kick him in the rear end if he pitches like he did in his last outing.

Forget Good Samaritan, we're his guilty conscience. And the angel on his shoulder is fleeing as we speak.
