OK, so I've got to admit, when I read the Top Ten list that Mark Buehrle was going to read through on Monday night's "Late Show with David Letterman," I thought several of the answers were pretty funny.

Having watched the segment a couple times now, though, I've got to say I was a little disappointed. The one-liners weren't nearly as funny when somebody said them live, and as much as I enjoy watching Buehrle pitch, I think we could all agree that the left-hander needs to work on his comedic timing.

Whatever.

Nobody can take away the fact that Buehrle just tossed a perfect game and got to appear on one of the most popular shows on TV. Life is good. Plus, if you're going to be mad at anybody, be mad at the Letterman writers. As my buddy over at Big League Stew pointed out, you'd think they could have had at least a couple jokes about Ozzie Guillen and A.J. Pierzynski.

In the meantime, here is the list , in case you missed it. Here's hoping Guillen can read his own Top Ten on Letterman's show at some point in the future:

1. Maybe I'll give up one hit so I don't have to appear on Letterman.
2. Sunflower seed ... lodged in my windpipe ... get help!
3. Should I shave my back?
4. I'm leaving after the 7th inning to beat the traffic.
5. Did I remember to TiVo "So You Think You Can Dance"?
6. (Teammates Josh Fields and Dewayne Wise): We're going to Disney World! (Buehrle): And I'm running for governor of Alaska.
7. My brother-in-law bowled a perfect game.
8. Too bad I'm not on my own fantasy team.
9. If this doesn't get Kate Hudson to notice me, nothing will.
10. I did it! I did it! Oh wait, it's only the fourth inning.
