Were The Mariners About To Issue A Code Red On Ichiro?

This comes as news to me, but then I haven't followed the Mariners very closely since, well, ever; and that includes the years I lived in Seattle. Apparently Ichiro Suzuki is so unpopular with his teammates that several of them got together earlier in the season and planned how they were going to "go after him." Yikes. More »

Ichiro Will Kind Of Miss Not Hitting Well

In about half an hour, the Mariners will play an exhibition game against the Milwaukee Brewers. (Man, interleague exhibition games were so much more novel before, you know, actual interleague play.) This is not a particularly compelling game, but it is noteworthy for one oddity: Ichiro Suzuki will try again to notch his first base hit of the spring. More »

The Mariners Like 'Em Big

Ever wanted a six-foot doll of Raul Ibanez? Well, boy howdy, this could be your lucky day. As long as you have four figures to spend.

The Mariners are auctioning off life-sized — bigger than life-sized, actually — bobblehead dolls of Ibanez, Kenji Johjima, Felix Hernandez and Ichiro Suzuki. Bidding begins at $2,500 on the Mariners' home page.

Just for the sake of discussion — and to help you with your decision whether or not to buy — if you were to purchase a Real Doll, it could cost you $6,500. So this thing could pay for itself!

(By the way ... commence "they need a Rick Ankiel lifesize bobblehead for Leitch ... NOW.)

all star game

In Case You Forgot Who Was Managing The NL ...

We only caught the last couple of innings of the All-Star game on DVR last night/this morning, so we can only conjecture forthwith that, if the last inning was any indicator, this was actually one of the fun ones. Ichiro hit an inside-the-parker, A-Rod was thrown out at home, the immortal Victor Martinez went deep. But because this was a game managed by Tony La Russa, of course, it came down to the whole story being about Tony La Russa. More »

Ichiro Does Not Think Cleveland Rocks

If it's Monday, it must be time for Ichiro Suzuki Quote Theater. This week's entry concerns the Mariners' makeup game in Cleveland, and Ichiro's clear desire not to be there. More »

Ichiro Can Move Fly Balls With His Mind

We can never quite tell if Ichiro Suzuki has an imaginative translator, or if he's even battier than we thought he was. Either way, it's entertaining. This, from after he missed a fly ball the other day: More »

Ichiro Vs. Dice-K, Round One

Because we grew up in the middle of a cornfield surrounded by nothing but grain silos and chubby cows, the whole Boston Red Sox/New York Yankees madness sometimes escapes us. But even we can't ignore the inherent excitement of a Dice-K vs. Ichiro matchup tonight at Fenway Park. More »

Which One Is Mothra Again?

On Wednesday, Daisuke Matsuzaka will make his Fenway Park debut ... and it's not just a big day for him and the Red Sox, it's also huge for the Japanese baseball fans. Because it's not only Dice-K out there; he's going to face Ichiro Suzuki. If only they could pull Hideki Matsui off the DL for a day and let him pinch hit. More »
