As an encore to last Thursday's perfect game, Mark Buehrle remained unhittable well into Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Twins. In the process, Buehrle set the MLB record for most consecutive batters retired. By taking another perfect game into the sixth inning, Buehrle ended up retiring 45 consecutive batters without one reaching base, going back to his July 18 start against Baltimore.

It seems the frigid temps aren't the only thing historic about the weather these days. Yesterday's snowfall extended Chicago's streak of days with measurable snowfall to nine, tying the previous record. While some days saw very little snow (just one-tenth of an inch three days), the city saw 18 inches received those nine days - that's what she said - and it's still all piled up thanks to the cold. The streak looks to end today as we have pointlessly sunny skies.
