The semi-charmed life of Felix Hernandez (Includes who to kill for naming him "Fifi")

Despite being on a crappy team, Felix seems pretty happy for the most part. And won't you be thrilled discovering which two players started the whole "Fifi" nickname! It somehow stuck around for four years. He is also going to have to figure out what to do instead of messing around with Lopez and soon.

Reading that makes me so very happy.

Hopefully he won't miss Lopey too much.

"I really like missing him (Lopez)"

That’s how I read that last line the first time through, it gave me quite the double take

Wouldn't it make more sense for his nickname to be Feely?

Keeps a but more in line with the normal Mariner nicknames- cut off the last syllable and add a “y” instead.

That's more of a Mike Scioscia thing.

Wait

so it was Ryan Franklin or Gil Meche who started calling him Fifi? (Seems like more of a Franklin thing, so I’m gonna go with that.)

I can't wait for Ryan Franklin's results to suck again.

and more, this from Drayer the other day:

With all that seriousness in one corner Felix was up to no good in another. Felix apparently gets bored on his non start days. The clubbie here told me that he was helping pass out the laundry last night then today was working in the kitchen. Apparently he made Jason Vargas’s lunch. A stir fry if you were wondering. His work is never done. Hey, if he doesn’t get the Cy Young then maybe he can go on Top Chef.
