(MLB) Philip Humber Throws Perfect Game

(1/3) > >>

Flawless right-hander uses just 96 pitches to retire all 27 Mariners



SEATTLE -- There are good games, and there are great games. Then there are the perfect ones that stick with you for the rest of your life.
 
Philip Humber will never forget what he accomplished Saturday afternoon. What started with a harmless ground-ball out turned into another out, which turned into another, and another, and another. Twenty-seven outs later, Humber had the 4-0 win over the Mariners. More importantly, he had a perfect game, and his place in the record books.
 
"I'm thankful -- the team played awesome," said Humber, a look of half-disbelief spread across his face. "The first thing you want to do is get a win, and it was nice to have that last run there, have that four-run lead going into the ninth.
 
"[Catcher] A.J. [Pierzynski] did a great job, couple of great plays in outfield and just awesome. I don't even know what to say. I don't know what Phil Humber is doing in this list. No idea what my name is doing there, but thankful it's there."
 
It is the first perfect game or no-hitter in the Major Leagues this season, and the 21st of all-time. The last perfect game was thrown by Roy Halladay on May 29, 2010. The last no-hitter was July 27, 2011, by Ervin Santana.

Fuck that, most frustrating shit I've ever seen. Our stupid ass fans were cheering as if it was Felix on the hill about to get that perfect game, and to make things worse they were actually booing when Brendan Ryan almost got walked at the end of the game. Seahawks have great fans, but the Mariners fan base (what's left of it) is crap. Who the fuck roots for there team to not get any hits? Fucking pathetic.

Anyone see a side view shot of that last swing?  Was close but don't know if he went.
