    i live in a very affluent area, everyone here has $ and again, i'd think someone driving that is compensating.

    i think the truck looks sweet and buehrle is a pretty cool guy, but to be honest that thing is TOO high to even be a practical country boy truck.

    i'd still fckin love to drive that beast though

    MINNEAPOLIS -- Mark Buehrle considers himself an avid outdoorsman, along with his professional title of White Sox pitcher. The same description holds true for Jim Thome, though he is known more for hitting home runs than throwing the baseball.

    So, it only stands to reason that, once Thome joined the White Sox two years ago, Buehrle had his sights set on not only winning a World Series title with his friend and teammate, but also venturing forth on a hunting trip. On Saturday night, one hour south of Winnipeg, Canada, Buehrle had the latter wish fulfilled.

    Buehrle, Thome, Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzynski took a bear-hunting trip following Saturday's victory, an excursion set up by Twins broadcaster Dan Gladden on the property of a friend. Buehrle made the only kill of the day, using a bow, but it turned into a memorable moment with Thome right beside him.

    "[It was] just a once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially going with Jimmy," Buehrle said. "When we got out there, the guy said we could hunt [separately]. But my main thing [was], I wanted to be in the stand with Jim Thome. I turned down hunting by myself to be with him.

    "We weren't together together, but we were close enough [that] he got me on video. First, getting to bear hunt and then getting to hunt with him was more special."

    The quartet went hunting at about 6 p.m. CT, giving them about one hour before the sun set. The kill was made from about 20 yards away, and the bear ran about another 30 yards before going down. Buehrle plans to have the head stuffed and have a necklace made out of a bear claw. He added with a smile that Jon Garland expressed interest in getting one, too.

    The kill, which seemed to be a proud moment for the whole group, came in for a little ribbing from manager Ozzie Guillen, who said the bear was not even as big as pitching coach Don Cooper. Buehrle and his teammates also have a video shot by Thome as a keepsake of this evening's events.

    "When [Thome] first signed and got traded over, he actually called up and left me a message saying, 'I'm happy to be your teammate, and I hope we can get together and hang out,'" said Buehrle of Thome. "I saved it forever.

    "I was so excited Jim Thome called me. I was showing my buddies, and [my wife] Jamie still laughs at me to this day how excited I was. Just him being a hunter, and he's a great guy. He hit 500 home runs and is a future Hall of Famer, hopefully. Just everything, it kind of adds up. Just to be out in the woods with him was awesome."

    Official change: Buehrle will be replaced by Lance Broadway in his scheduled final start on Thursday. Cooper joked on Saturday that if Buehrle killed a bear on the hunt, he didn't have to pitch on Thursday.

    "I said that if someone else shoots one, I'm taking a picture of it and saying I did it," Buehrle said with a laugh.

    Some people just like to run over shit. Others like to drive fast.

    Seeing that truck makes me not like Mark Buehrle. But winning the world series, killing a bear with a bow, pitching a no-hitter and pitching a perfect game make sure that I will always love Mark Buehrle.
