Armando Galarraga, coming off his imperfect, 28-out perfect game, gave up a lead off single to White Sox outfielder Juan Pierre tonight in Chicago.
So, the Tigers righthander will not have to worry about a perfect game tonight.
Speaking of Pierre, he was one of my favorite players with the Rockies. Besides being an exciting player on the basepaths, Juan was just a good guy in the clubhouse. I called him a "go to guy" for the media because after a loss, when other players would be hard to find, Pierre was always gracious to the media.
I tend to pull for good guys and Pierre certainly falls into that category. So does Armando Galarraga. That was easy to see the way he handled the disappointment of losing a perfect game on a blown call by umpire Jim Joyce.
