April 11th: With two down in the bottom of the ninth, King Felix strikes out Kevin Youkilis.
----------
I'd like to have a chat with the MLB rulebook people. Seems we have different definitions of the term 'perfect game'.

Surely the picture would have sufficed.

I can't argue
Felix nearly no-noing.
Felix nearly no-noing the Red Sox.
Felix nearly no-noing the Red Sox in Fenway.
Felix, on national TV, showing the world who the better pitcher was, spoilering the home debut of one expensive Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Felix showing his incredible potential.
The Red Sox lose.
All kinds of fun! Now if only he hadn't thrown that first pitch fastball up to JD Drew...

all hail the king
This game made me a fan
Jeff, your intro on the Gamethread is prophetic...
Perfect. This made me want to rewatch the game on MLB.tv today. The season can't start soon enough.
Great game, great top 50.
This is the only Mariners game that has been on TV here in 5 years. If it wasn't for mlb.tv, this would be the only Mariner game I had ever watched [apart from the ones I went to in Safeco].
In those five years, could there have been a more perfect game for the M's to have shown? I can't think of one.
my god that was great

I miss that Felix.
Someone far more intelligent than myself should look at his pitch f/x data and see whether that assumption is true, or whether I just pulled it out of my arse.

In my mind...
Here's to 2008!
It really was the only choice.
*pauses for reverent touching of the collarbone*
One of the greatest game-ending shots of all time
No Contest
Easily the greatest moment of Mariners baseball for this year or in recent memory.
Felix was puttin' on a clinic, truly amazing how foolish he made them all look at the plate.
Along with most everybody else I agree with
Jeff, thanks a ton for this countdown, it helped me get through an offseason that seemed to drag on forever.
2nd greatest?
Hi there.
Thanks, Jeff
At least...
FWIW, Sid
Now, go back to the picture..
NOW, Its game 2 of Felix's 1st postseason...I want THAT 'Tyranasaur of man carnage' on the mound, especially if Bedar has already delivered a tough 4-3 victory in game 1. :)
