One thing for sure, while the Seattle Mariners continue to have one sad season after another, “King Felix” continues to win and stay on top. He is a GREAT pticher and we are lucky to have this dude here in Seattle. And today (Aug 15th) he proved why we are lucky to have him here in Seattle.

Because Felix Hernandez pitched  the first perfect game in Mariner history against the Tampa Rays here in Safeco Field. I was working on producing my next “Music Inner City TV” TV show and had ESPN on they had breaking news about Felix. So I turned on Root Sports and watched the end of the game. Man it was off the hook to watch this young man get the final outs for his perfect game while the crowd cheered. It was great.

Keep in mind folks, we have nothing to cheer about most of the time when it comes to the Seattle Mariners. Year after year fans go to beautiful Safeco Field to watch a terrible team. Most fans go the game just to hang out, drink beer and maybe knit a sweater or something. Or to root for the Yankees or Red Sox when they come to our city. Thank god for Felix.

Hernandez is the ONLY reason I watch the Seattle Mariners. And most fans feel like I do. Most of the time he is pitching with no run support. I hope that Felix will want to stay in Seattle. He can ask for a trade at any time. But it seems he loves Seattle and it’s fans. Shout out to “King Felix” for the first perfect game in the history of the Mariners.   Now can we go to the freakin playoffs one damn year!!!   Gordon Curvey
