I don't know if it's too early to anoint Felix as a Big Game Pitcher, but he sure seems to enjoy big game pitching. That start was everything we've ever wanted from the King*, and after what was a pretty devastating pre-game announcement regarding Beltre, it says an awful lot that I'll be able to go to bed with a smile on my face. Felix is magic.

FELIX FOR CY YOUNG WOO!!!
I Lick Squirrels - June 27, 2009
He's an Ace.
ignacio - June 27, 2009
Ooh, Beltre may play tomorrow according to Larry Stone
gregrabble - June 27, 2009
Drayer mentioned it too
that he’ll see how he feels, and that the surgery is scheduled for tuesday
msb - June 27, 2009
Why play if you know you're going to have surgery in 2 days? Couldn't you fuck it up worse?
lemonverbena - June 28, 2009
Not really, no.
The bone spurs are kind of a constant irritant inside the shoulder, like a rock in your shoe constantly jabbing a blister. Doesn’t cause long-term damage, just hurts like hell.
I’m actually a little surprised we haven’t heard anything about cortisone injections being tried. I have bone spurs on the ball of my shoulder joint and I have a shot ever 4 months or so that really helps. When I asked about surgery instead, my doctor said the spurs “usually” come back.

It feels like giving a loved one four or five "final" embraces before he/she gets onto a plane.
Adrian doesn’t want to let go of us.
Decatur - June 28, 2009
TWO GAMES OVER 500!!!

If the Mariners gave him run support every time he'd gone at least 6 2/3 and given up two or less he'd probably be 12-3.
W-L is such a stupid way to measure pitchers.
SethGrandpa - June 27, 2009
Or if Brandon Morrow hadn't kept exploding
I Lick Squirrels - June 27, 2009
Or if we won.
CapSea - June 27, 2009
Well we did win 2 of those games...
SethGrandpa - June 27, 2009
Well Morrow only blew one of his games...
SethGrandpa - June 27, 2009
Felix:
Woodinville_12thMan - June 27, 2009
So Ryan Franklin is probably going to the All Star game this year
OlSalty - June 28, 2009
The pitching was okay...
but I wanted to see him homer again. That was really the highlight of last season.
DAMellen - June 28, 2009
Vin Scully called him Felix the Cat.
Ugh.
Goose - June 28, 2009
It's a shame that Rob Johnson is the Butte of so many jokes
GET IT? BECAUSE HE’S FROM MONTANA AND HE SUCKS
OlSalty - June 28, 2009
My brother does that, and I find it pretty annoying.
Fin - June 28, 2009
There was a local radio attempt to make that his nickname when he first came up. It didn't stick.
FSN pregame is now trying to attach Felix the cat and the big cat.
Feh.
msb - June 28, 2009
Felix Potvin was Felix the Cat too
it’s time we try other names for Felix.
Jeff Sullivan - June 28, 2009
Felix the Bad Ass Mofo'n Pitcher
I’m rolling with it.
JLProck - June 28, 2009
He already has a nickname
King Felix. Roll with it.
Fin - June 28, 2009
Right, that's what I mean
let the cat thing die.
Jeff Sullivan - June 28, 2009
One more good outing and I am sure he's locked his spot on the All-Star team.
Fin - June 28, 2009
If Wakefield makes it and Felix doesn't that will be awful.
Although with Wakamatsu on the staff I think its a near lock he will be on the team. I really look forward to a Felix-Pujols showdown.
houseofprime - June 28, 2009
I was happy when I saw Waka there.
I am hoping his presence will also get Branyan on the bench in the ASG. I was hoping for Bedard, as we all were, but that’s probably not going to happen now.
Fin - June 28, 2009
SHAWN KELLEY!
Pitched a scoreless inning in Arizona! With two K’s! I love Shawn Kelley!
Fuckmikereilly - June 28, 2009
YES YES YES
seattlebruin - June 28, 2009
I love Ichiro!
Mariner John - June 28, 2009
I love Johjima!
seattlebruin - June 28, 2009
Maybe
the pinnacle of Lookout Landing.
Fin - June 28, 2009
I want to know
which one of you is secretly the guy with the Porsche with the Washington plates that say “Rauuuuuul” (or however many Us it was).
I’m assuming you’re the large fellow in the RF bleachers with me who had on an Ibanez jersey.
bluemax - June 28, 2009
My porsche has a liscence plate holder
that reads “I’d rather be playing lawn darts”
Bearskin Rugburn - June 28, 2009
Where can I find a set of lawn darts?
I hear they don’t make them anymore because of some people getting darts thru the skull or something.. I would love to have a set.
d0nkey - June 29, 2009
