As Felix Hernandez threw the first perfect game in Seattle Mariners history, Twitter decided to have another epic freak out and the most creative comment came from Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander:
Sadly, Justin Verlander is still not welcome in the Perfect Club:
GOOD TO BE THE KING

As Felix Hernandez completed his perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday afternoon, the Jackson Generals (Seattle Mariners' Double-A affiliate) watched on their stadium (Pringles Park) jumbotron during batting practice, and celebrated the Seattle ace's remarkable achievement. Oh, and Felix's brother Moises is a pitcher on the Generals, so it made the scene...

I need to go pick some Lotto numbers!
I’ve lucked into calling two perfect games and a combined no-no in the 2012 MLB season. There was the April 21 perfecto thrown by the White Sox Philip Humber against the Mariners at Safeco Field, on Fox. Then there was the six-pitcher combined no-no thrown June 8th by the Mariners against the Dodgers, again, at Safeco Field.
The biggie was...

Felix Hernandez plays for the Seattle Mariners. From a pitching perspective, that just about necessitates perfection. Hernandez leads the world in the unofficial stat of 1-0 complete game shutouts (three of his four shutouts this year have been 1-0, now two in his last three starts), and has also thrown one-, two-, and three-hitters this year as well. Felix has been just...

This season has not been one where Seattle Mariners and perfection have been used a lot in the same sentence. But today, Wednesday, August 15th, the Seattle Mariners joined the storied list of franchises that own a perfect game to their credit. Felix Hernandez showed why he is one of the best pitchers in baseball by throwing a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays. This capped...

Yesterday, Felix Hernandez went 27-up, 27-down against Tampa Bay, becoming just the 23rd pitcher in baseball history to throw a perfect game. Amazingly, this was the sixth perfect game in the last four years, as Felix joins the company of Mark Buehrle, Dallas Braden, Roy Halladay, Philip Humber, and Matt Cain as the newest members of the club.
Back when Cain threw his perfect game...

27 up, 27 down. In case you spent today away from any information source, then you’re just finding this out—Felix Hernandez threw a perfect game in a 1-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
This is the first time this has happened with a Mariners pitcher in the organization’s 35 year history, the 4th Mariner no-hitter, and the first time two perfect games were thrown in one stadium...

So much for all those waves the Tampa Bay Rays have been making in the AL Wild Card race lately.
Wednesday afternoon in Seattle, it was more like a massive belly-flop.
And in this case, the big splash at Safeco Field was made by brilliant Mariners' righthander Felix Hernandez, whose perfect game in a 1-0 victory suddenly leaves the Rays floundering again.
And just when it...

If 2011 was “The Year of the Pitcher,” 2012 has been “The Year of the No-Hitter.” Felix Hernandez recorded a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays yesterday, marking the sixth no-no to have been thrown this season and the third bout of perfection. The six no-hitters marks the most in the MLB since 1886, when eight was the benchmark. Besides Hernandez, the Giants’ Matt...

The fourth pitch Felix Hernandez threw yesterday wasn't very good at all.
I certainly couldn't have hit it -- it was a 92 mile an hour fastball, with at least a little bit of movement -- but big league hitters could. Rays leadoff hitter and Wikipedia superstar Sam Fuld could, turning on the ball and hitting it with a force and trajectory that, in most cases, one assumes...

Home Run of the Day: Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners [video]
Sorry, but there is no way I can justify placing a run-of-the-mill home run over King Felix's perfect game here. I could watch that final strike to Sean Rodriguez over and over again. In fact, maybe I...

There’s a difference between dominating and being dominant. Anyone can dominate for a moment but being dominant is something else all together. Jeremy Lin dominated for a few games. Michael Jordan was dominant. The other night Felix Hernandez proved that he’s not only capable of dominating but that he is dominant. Other players have made that jump as well but as much...

Doug Fister, like Justin Verlander, is quickly becoming a stopper for the Detroit Tigers. Despite his defense letting him down in one inning, Fister went eight tough innings, pitching the Tigers to a 8-4 bounce back win against Minnesota. Following … Continue reading →

After a hot July, the MLB season has now gone into August. With the new Wild Card spots in play, more teams have hope coming into the stretch run. And, with more playoff births, more aces are trying to pitch their teams into the postseason. For the beginning of August, I’ve taken the list of Cy Young contenders down from ten to eight. I am also looking...
