Did I miss anything?
What we've learned from all this is that Ichiro doesn't think it's an important story, and Griffey has his back. Yes, the questions had to be asked; you need to give Ichiro an opportunity to respond to all the criticism he's received from current and former teammates. But now that they've been asked and answered, let this please - please - be the last we ever hear of it. If the Mariners need to keep Mike Sweeney to play mom for all the unprofessionals in the locker room, then whatever. Just lay the hell off of Ichiro. He's not and never has been the one whose contributions ought to be questioned.

What more could Ichiro possibly do.
Ichiro shows his leadership by his work ethic an his results on the field. And really, how can anyone question that.
I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
hmm
“I don’t think anyone is off-limits to Ken, so I’m sure he’ll be getting on Ichi, and maybe he’ll loosen him up and hopefully get him speaking a little more,” pitcher Jarrod Washburn said. “It can’t hurt. That would be a good thing for the team.”
I like how Washburn seems to think Griffey will be on their side.
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.
He doesn't talk to you because you are unpleasant .

He'd talk to him if Ichiro dressed like a 14 year old girl

Of all the people to make this joke,
I would have put Dave at the bottom.
Just curious here...
What is that picture referencing?
Perhaps I will rephrase my question..
Whom is the picture referencing?
If he makes a Robert fat joke I will die and go to heaven

It's amazing how the high school mentality never goes away.
I’ve never had a job that wasn’t full of cliques, gossip, crushes, rivalries, fights, you name it. I don’t know why I’m surprised when I read that an MLB team is the same way. Ichiro is so dead on right that everyone should stfu and act like professionals, but I can’t see that ever happening. I’m really glad that Griffey is set up to be his foil now, because even if everyone else is going to act like children, it would be nice if they would just let Ichiro be Ichiro.
