Ichiro is the ONLY player who actually hits the ball. If you want to contend this, find me another M’s player with a basic performance record like his. I don’t care whether it’s singles, doubles, triples or homers.. show me… After you do that show me:
A player who steals….. once in a while.
Then after that:
Some huge fielding plays, as defense… which saved our asses day after day after day.
Also, the one single Mariner who isn’t a 1/3 retard in the press, despite linguistic issues. I’ll take a good player with no English over a borderline autistic. He’s a player, hands down for 8 years. I wish most players would “pad” their stats by getting on base….
Any M’s fan who questions Ichiro is isn’t an “M’s” fan, period, without him, we’d be in bumfuck Idaho.

Hello all. I’m going to be in Seattle next weekend for the first time and I’d like to catch a game while I’m there, probably Saturday. Any recommendations of what sections of the park are good values, or sections to avoid? Can I buy tickets day of at the park, or should I get them online now? Lastly, is there any food that I shouldn’t miss? Thanks.

Of course, he’s had 50 hits in a month more than any other player in modern history, and he alone holds the record for most 50-hit months in a single seson (2).

was the gun slow on Sunday? The scoreboard had him at about 92-93 most of the game, touching 94-95. I’ve thought that gun was slow (if I remember right), and guessed he was actually around 94-95, touching 97. GameDay confirmation?

For the record, they had Mark Lowe between 97 and 99.
