AL: Mark Buehrle, Chicago--His no-hitter is a promising sign for the Chisox from a guy whose ERA mysteriously jumped from 3.12 in 2005 to 4.99 last season. His was probably one of the more unlikely no-hitters in history, considering Buehrle tied for the league lead in most hits allowed last year, led the league in 2005, and was second in 2004 and 2003. In other words, he pitches to contact. I like the fact that he openly talked about the no-no during the game, saying things like, "Hey, did you guys know I have a no-hitter going?" So much for jinxes.
But did they have to waste all that beer??
NL: Bill Hall, Milwaukee--Hit .429 with 3 homers, 9 RBIs, and 9 runs. Coming off a 35-HR season, he's one of the more underrated players in the game.
