Félix Week: Felix Felixes, Mariners Mariner

why Hello! Eric Sanford here again with another one from the LL archives in honor of Félix Week. Here’s a recap from April 19, 2012, a game that, among many, could serve as Exhibit A in the “Case of How the Mariners Wasted Félix’s Prime” if there were such an actual court case (note to self to ask LLawyer Tim if you can sue a team for such a thing). I mean, the headline alone would be etched in stone of the LL Style Book if such a physical thing existed. Anyways, this one is interesting to go back to because I remember it so well just for how pissed off we all were about it, but in hindsight it was just one of several forerunners that season to Félix’s perfect game. One of many fits and starts that lead to a pinnacle. But, during those especially fallow years of Mariner fandom, there was no greater sin than wasting a gorgeous outing by Félix, and this recap lays that all out plain as day. Tell us how you really feel, Jeff!
