YES! YES! It's a Perfect No-No for Buehrle
The fans at Busch Stadium marveled as 33-year-old Mark Buehrle of the Pittsburgh Pirates mowed through the St. Louis lineup, retiring all 27 batters he faced -- a perfect game.

Buehrle went without surrendering a hit or walk in his historic 9-0 victory.

"I didn't really think about it until the seventh inning," Buehrle confessed in a postgame interview. "Then all at once, it hit me. From that point on, the pressure was on. When you're conscious of every pitch, every call, every out, just trying to relax is almost impossible. I tried to throw the ball as naturally as I could without thinking a lot. I didn't want to aim the ball. That's when you get in trouble and lose control."

This year, Buehrle has compiled a 12-8 record with a 4.04 ERA.
