Hernandez slams Johan, then leaves with injury

Posted by Kelsdad

Felix Hernandez hit the first pitch he saw from Johan Santana tonite over the right center field wall in Shea Stadium for a grand slam homer in the Mariners victory over the Mets. Hernandez would later leave the game with an injury, spiked by Carlos Beltran while covering home following a wild pitch.

Hernandez' homer was the first by a Mariners pitcher in franchise history, and the first grand slam by an American League pitcher since Steve Dunning of the Cleveland Indians connected against the Oakland Athletics on May, 11, 1971.

Sweet!!

Damnit! Hernandez is on my fantasy team, and that HR he hit off Santana, who is also on my fantasy team, won't even count. Funny thing is, Beltran is on my fantasy team too!...wow, that's weird, all three of the players mentioned in paragraph one are on my team. And none of the pitchers really benefited from this, while Beltran went 2 for 4 with an RBI and a stolen base (but he's on my bench!!). It obviously hasn't been a very good night for me. Oh, and in case you were wondering, I'm not talking about my AGM fantasy team, I have another one on ESPN.com that I tend to almost everyday.

It's only cool if you have Steve Dunning on your team, too.

I've always thought about joining an NL-only league just so I could have an offensive spot for a Pitcher.

yeah, some of the guys in my league talk about this the annoying part is that the other 80% of the time, the pitcher goes 0fer...it annoys you when you see a Carlos Zambrano, Bronson Arroyo or Micah Owings - esque outburst but most of the time, its more annoying because if the guy you're playing wins via a good hitting pitcher, you know its really just bullshit...
