If there were still any doubts about the prowess of Mariners ace Felix Hernandez, he put them all to rest Wednesday in the biggest way possible.
“King Felix” has become the first pitcher in Mariners history to throw a perfect game.
Twenty-seven batters up, 27 batters down. No walks. No hits. No errors. No base-runners. Nothing.
Perfect.
Hernandez threw 12 strikeouts in his masterpiece on the mound. In just the 23rd perfect game in Major League Baseball history, Hernandez shut down the Tampa Bay Rays in a 1-0 victory at Safeco Field on Wednesday afternoon.
It was the Mariners’ second no-hitter of the season after six pitchers combined for an oh-fer on June 8, and it was the third no-hitter at Safeco Field this year after Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox perfecto’d the Mariners on April 21.
Oh and Felix goes again Tuesday. First start after is usually not good but you’ve got the pathetic Tribe coming to town starting Roberto Hernandez (0-1 7.50ERA ) aka FAUSTO CARMONA in his 2nd start back from suspension. I wish I had MLB extra inning for that!
Are you a Roberto Hernandez fan?
Carmona, Hernandez- whatever his name is- hasn’t done much of anything since his one good season in 07. Between those two issues he has worn out his welcome.
“Between those two issues he has worn out his welcome.”
Indeed!
Not when he’s stifling the W Sox bats. IIRC he usually dominated the Sox or was horrible, no middle ground.
He was good for a while, he lost it. 2007 was a long time ago.
Fausto Carmona is a cool name, much better than Roberto Hernandez.
“Fausto Carmona is a cool name...”
Henceforth, you shall be known as “FAUSTO CARMONA!”
Hi Fausto!

If I ever have to go on the lam, that’s what’s going on my fake passport.
Hopefully in the future the reference will become so obscure only hardcore Tribe fans and baseball triva wizzes will remember the name.
FAUSTO SAY:
“If I ever have to go on the lam, that’s what’s going on my fake passport.”
FAUSTO...hehehehehehehe...my Tourette’s is so off the charts right now I can smell it...hehehehehehehe...
