    Not even close to a swing?

    Go on youtube... Theres a view from the 1st base line that clearly shows the call could have gone either way.

    Humber is the #5 starter in that White Sox rotation. How often do you see the 5th starter of a rotation throw a perfect game? It shows me anyone is capable but it's only happened 21 times in MLB history. Humber is on a list with some damn good pitchers that have thrown a perfect game in the past.

    Knowing Humber has had only around 30 starts in his big league career, I can't argue that right now.

    You can't be serious bro.

    I congratulate your boy on for the feat but come on dude. Not even close.

    Post this video if it's that close please.

    The only people I've talked to that think its legit are white Sox fans. I don't expect them to be objective on anything regarding their team, much less a prefect game. There's absolutely no talking to most of them.

    Picked him up while I got someone on the DL... We'll see if anything becomes of it.

    No, what do YOU mean? That's a god**mn joke, I don't care how close he is, you make him earn it. To suggest otherwise and that you give him the call just because he made it that far is flat out ridiculous.

    Uh, that was a lot closer then anyone wants to give credit. Yeah, the view from the pitchers mound looks like that wasn't a swing but from from the 1st base line, the I saw the call could have gone either way. I watched the video four times and saw the samething four times.

    Not trying to be bias at all. Just calling it the way it is.

    I'm horrible at doing stuff like that but you can go to youtube and watch it. It's a five minute and six second video.

    Never once did I say that was a swing. I'm also not trying to change anyones mind. All i'm saying is I know what I saw.
