Felix Hernandez Resigns With Mariners

Everyone out. I have to poop.

According to a source, not mine of course, the Mariners have reached an agreement with Felix Hernandez on a contract extension. Hernandez made $3.8 million last year in his first year of arbitration eligibility and had a stellar season. He finished 19-5 with a 2.46 ERA last year.

This continues the greatest offseason ever for the M’s, who have been in the league since 1977. They signed Chone Figgins from the rival Angels, traded for Milton Bradley and Cliff Lee, and of course resigned Ken Griffey Jr..

Enough about the rest of the team though, King Felix is their future. He’s 23 now and is 58-41, though that number is unrepresentative of his talent as his early teams sucked. Felix finished second to Zach Greinke in Cy Young voting last year, and is likely the favorite to win the AL Cy Young this year at the ripe old age of 24. At least one of the teams that’s kind of close to me is good.

The Morning After Pill

The Morning After Pill is where we review the previous day in the sporting world. Certain sports/teams are left out due to extreme lack of caring or hangovers

NFL: Mark Sanchise turned the ball over twice against the Saints yesterday. Well more than twice, but he turned over twice for TD’s as Gregg Williams may have in fact transformed the Saints D from a flaming pile of dog shit to a legitimate D. Peyton Manning brought his laser rocket arm out again today as he threw for 353 yards and two TD’s. He’s now tied with Fran Tarkenton for third place all time with 342 TD passes. The battle of Ohio turned out to be better than any one expected as Cincy beat the Browns 23-20 in overtime. Ochocinco had 2 TD’s and nobody but one of the retarded announcers didn’t know the OT rules. The 49ers absolutely crushed the Rams 35-0. San Fran’s D got three scores and put up an incredible 39 fantasy points, carrying fantasy teams to win worldwide.

MLB: For the second straight year the Twins are in a one game playoff to determine the winner of the AL Central. They crushed the royals 13-4 and the Tigers got 8 strong innings out of Verlander as they beat the White Sox 5-3. A-Rod proved again that he’s super clutch in the regular season as he hit 2 HR’s and 7 RBI in the sixth inning alone as the Yanks beat the Rays 10-2. Nutty, but don’t worry non-Yanks fans, he’ll likely dissapear in the post season like he always does. Maybe this year instead of hooking up with Madonna or manly women he can find himself a good old fashioned Thai lady-boy. In Ken Griffey Jr’s potential final game, King Felix dominated as the M’s beat the Rangers by a score of 4-3. Griffey started his career in Seattle, and when he left for the Reds his career was never the same as it was derailed by injuries. He is the active career leader in hits and home runs.
