Dallas Braden - future owner of the Mariners lineup

Oakland A's pitcher Dallas Braden, most famous for throwing a tissy fit after A-Rod crossed over the pitcher's mound to get to first base, has made history. Braden has just pitched the 19th perfect game in the history of the MLB.

What's that mean? Well just be glad it was against the Tampa Bay Rays and not the Mariners. Although after watching SportsCenter and seeing the Mariners getting no-hit through six and then cheering when Griffey broke up the no-hitter in an 8-0 loss... yeah it's going to be a long season, and perhaps the lineup getting no-hit or perfect gamed would be the most memorable thing this season for the Mariners. That or Cliff Lee wearing a jet pack out on the mound so he can jettison to his next big contract team after his last start for the M's. It's going to happen. Trust me.

As for A-Rod? Well Braden's grandmother has apparently told him to go "stick it."

I love old people.
