Philip Humbers perfect game against Seattle

First of all - congrats to the guy.

He dominated/coasted through 8 innings.

But you knew the 9th wouldn't be easy - NEVER IS.

Went to 3 balls in the pitch count twice - and twice hitters swung at ball 4.

Incl the last out with the checked-swing (the right call by the home plate ump IMO)

Oh yes -and IT WAS against the Mariners.

That was great...did you know he was drafted, like 2 spots after Justin Verlander?

Baseball drafts are about as hit or miss as they come. Wonder if this guy is going to last.

A 6 pitcher no-hitter against the Dodgers.

Rare goings-on at Safeco this season.
