My boy Felix Hernandez flirted with (as they say) a no-hitter into the 8th inning last night, before giving up a home run. However, Mr Hernandez was displeased because in the 6th inning, one of the opposing batters tried to lay down a bunt on him. Felix is of the opinion that that is disrespectful of him. I dunno, Felix. You're my boy n' all, but in the sixth inning? It's not like you had two outs in the ninth. Besides, you fielded it by your own self, so if it were a hit, you'd only have yourself to blame, hijo. But all's well that ends well, 'cause Mr Hernandez was happy to get his W and his little nudge closer to the AL Cy Young, *and* he says his no-hitter is coming. Got to love a cocky pitcher. If they can pitch, that is. Kinda Pedro-esque, no?
Meanwhile, Ubaldo was busy winning number 19, in a decidedly non-no-hitter kind of way. Ay, dios mio, watch your WHIP, Ubaldo. But, again, all's well that ends well, and go Rockies! You can do it!
