Gratz to him. He is definitely one of my favorite pitchers in the league.

The perfect game is such a rarity I don't care who does it, it still impresses the hell out of me.

It is a rarity, but it seems it's been happening a lot more recently.

It seems like the Rays have gotten no hit a lot over recent years.

Yep, and it's always 'Breaking News' on the major websites.

What a pitcher's duel!

ESPN had a "breaking news" about this perfect game in progress through 7 innings and I immediately had the bartender switch a TV over to that game. This was at a Buffalo Wild Wings...

they put the sound on for that game and the entire place was really into the game, and it just erupted in applause for Felix when he got that last out. That was great to see

When the Ray go cold, they are cold. They really aren't a highpower offense even with Longoria and Upton.

Hernandez perfect!
