This man is a genius.

We knew it was happening. The King was no longer the King as of last year.

Sports wise we don’t get much in Seattle. Yes the SB. Then the worst play in NFL history. Can’t we have King Felix alittle bit longer?!

Can I nominate our franchise for most depressing? I know the browns exist and all but damn we can make a great case.

Hall of Fame.

Never appeared in a playoff game.

Griffey helped save the franchise and then broke hearts by leaving before playing a full season in the stadium he helped build (only to come back in a recliner), A-Rod chased the money, shot roids, and bought painting(s!) of himself as a centuar, The Big Unit forced his way out and won Cy Young awards and Championship…

We had a nice thing for a very long time.

Greatest pitcher in the game over that span. Should have 4 Cys. Love the King. Hoping for the best, but the age + innings are scary...

As an active alcoholic, I prefer pitchers on the incline.

King Felix throwing his perfect game is the first and only time I have shed legitimate tears because of sports. There have been other highs, and championships for other Seattle teams, but sitting in my car that August afternoon, pulling over under the shade of a tree two blocks from my office because I was choking…

The Mariners: We Can’t Have Nice Things!

4.73 ERA isn’t bad for a dead arm. Imagine what he could do with a level playing field, pitching to dead hitters. Sure, he’d walk a few runs in, and maybe a couple hit-by-pitches, but probably no hits. Even on the occasional bunt, they wouldn’t hustle it out.

ESPN Stats & Info didn’t get laid off?

To be fair twitter isn’t advertising them. A popular blog is.

Honest question: is there a journalistic standard about showing Twitter usernames of (potentially) underage persons? Or does that fall into the public persona realm?

At his age and ability level, it’s a lifetime ban.

The fact that it isn’t a lifetime ban should be considered extremely lenient--I’m frankly surprised that he’s even appealing.

If it makes you feel better, he’ll never make the Baseball Hall of Fame.
