Signing(s): Mariners sign Felix Hernandez to extension

I've always had a soft spot for the M's, big deal, but King Felix has proven to be a horse.

Can't wait for all the fans of the big market teams to start frothing at the mouth proposing ridiculous trades to take him off their hands halfway through year one like it's their right to have him.

[robert terwilliger]

those trades usually end up the equivalent of "ryder/halak/2nd"

i remember bruins board ones of "lester, one of doubront/bard/aceves and iglesias"

After today Felix easily became one of my favorite athletes. The guy is so genuine. They told a story about how 2 days after Felix threw his perfect game he had an appearance setup with kids from the children's hospital. With the amount of interview requests and media response it would have been easy to blow off the kids. Felix kept his word and met up with the kids. A truly unselfish athlete and a genuine guy
