"As I sit here now, I’d love to just go home and be with the family and kids and go from there. But when next year gets here, at this time, it could be a tough decision, knowing this is all you’ve known for 15 years of your life and constantly having to be somewhere, to go somewhere. And all of a sudden you have nothing to do. It’s going to be a tough decision."
Mark Buerhle talking about retiring after the 2011 season. Which would be a sad sight—there is nothing that feels more like baseball than a pitcher with a less than stellar fastball getting by on impeccable command and a series of breaking balls. All while confounding critics and batters for year after year.

Don’t leave after 2011, Mark. You’re too young to retire. :( Although I completely understand your reasons for thinking...
