Seriously, his most recent piece about Ichiro is a load of garbage.  I wish the guy were capable of writing intelligently about baseball, because it would be nice to have a Mariners fan who doubled as a nationally-known writer, but instead we get the same sort of crap that we're always subjected too: Ichiro isn't a leader because he doesn't talk to reporters enough/score enough runs/bunt enough.  Yes, you read that right.
