Chicago's Wise Guy

Mark Buehrle bought watches for his teammates two years ago after throwing his first no-hitter.
He might want to purchase a special gift for Dewayne Wise after Wise made the most dramatic catch of his career in the ninth inning Thursday to preserve Buehrle's perfect game in the 5-0 victory over the Rays.
"This one will probably be a lot more expensive," Buehrle said after Wise robbed Gabe Kapler of a home run that would have ruined Buehrle's signature moment.
Wise had been inserted into center field for defensive purposes in the top of the ninth before Kapler launched a drive to left-center. Wise had played in because he didn't want Buehrle to lose his perfect bid on a bloop hit or broken-bat single.
