Enjoy a Trip through Seattle’s Historic Sites

Seattle may seem young compared to many of the cities on the East Coast, but there’s still plenty of history here. The next time you’re looking for something to do with your special someone, see what historic sites you can explore. Pike Place Market is a great place to go and also happens to be one of the oldest farmer’s markets in the US. The Space Needle may only be 50-years-old, but it’s still a very important part of Seattle’s history and the rotating restaurant at the top is perfect for an afternoon meal.

Felix' 15 Strikeouts

.

Richard Sherman "Mismatch!" Dept.

Felix didn't pitch good.  

At least, not compared to himself.  He didn't pitch good-er than usual.  Not in the sense that his stuff was better than usual; it wasn't.

About the 3rd inning, he simply grok'ked that the Rays -- though loaded with AL veterans like Zobrist, Longoria, DeJesus, Jennings, etc --  couldn't make contact with his dry spitter, and everything then revolved around that.
