    C'mon, that was about as intentional as Jamie Lynn Spears' baby.

    Hernandez was standing fully extended on the mound.  What the hell was Beltran suppose to do?

    Hey, he does not get any special treatment because he is a pitcher.  If he is in the way he gets run over like anyone else . . . .

Felix Hernandez Hits Grand Slam Off Of Johan Santana
FanIQ Blog — Mets fans expected to see a lot of record breaking performances at Shea Stadium this year, many coming from the left arm of Johan Santana. Monday night they saw a record performance than involved Johan pitching, but it had a little more to do with the Mariners bats, particularly that of pitcher Felix Hernandez. In the second inning, after a David Wright two-out error loaded the bases, King Felix became the first American League pitcher in 37 years to hit a grand slam. How's that big time offseason acquisition treating you now? Hernandez grand slam, couple with his stellar pitching ...

ESPN commenters continue their zany antics
The Sports Hernia Blog — Espn_commenting_morons See, he asked himself a question to drive home the idea that an AL pitcher hitting a grand slam is too wacky to believe without actually witnessing first. And since Dontrelle Willis is decaying in the minors, he really needs to see it to believe it! He's so perplexed by the news that his lethargic ass has reached a state of shock and is incapable of looking up the play on YouTube to watch for himself. So much so that he was only able to muster up enough energy to post a stupid, pointless comment that fittingly made the front page of ESPN. Now that's some good stuff!

Felix Hernandez had a good and a bad day yesterday
Hail Mary Jane — The Seattle Mariners and the New York Mets faced off at Shea Stadium yesterday and the pitching duel was definitely a notable one.  Mets ace Johan Santana vs Mariners talented youngster Felix Hernandez.  It’s been the curse of the Mets this season for unusual things to happen but I don’t think anyone saw this coming. In Felix Hernandez’ first at bat on the first pitch, he took Johan Santana pitch yard and the bases happened to be loaded which would make that a grand slam.  Not bad for a pitcher. 3 innings later, Hernandez had to leave the game after being spiked by ...
