Safeco was like tailor tuned for Ichiros style of play lol. He is a line drive, bloop ball hitter who plays the distance players need to travel to get hits.

Bernie and Rivera. Only Yankees I ever rooted for
Yeah, because they don't have compare-able numbers offensively at all.

I think it's fair to say Ichiro's ceiling is a lot higher.
Don't forget the vast upgrade he is for us in Left. We won't have Gardner's glove out there and we have someone who approximates what Gardy did really well now.
Ichiro just said Nintendo. Dude is straight class.

1. why? isn't it enough with Ibanez and Jones in left?
2. why?
3. he's still godly on defense right?
4. Rangers had Colby Lewis go down, we can take them out now.
5. is Swisher hurt worse than we thought?

Well, the Mets are the most consistent team in the majors in one way.
A couple of years ago when he wasn't declining, yes. Now? Not so much.
Oh I know. Dude is still good defensively and he'll be a giant upgrade over Ibanez in left field.
And thus ends the Mariners career of the best Mariners player of the last decade. The man who helped us get over the pain of A-Rod leaving and provided many of the bright spots in a time of darkness.
I still won't root for the Yankees but I'll always root for Ichiro.
Really? I mostly think of Tom Glavine as a Brave.

Good luck in NY!...who the hell thinks of Glavine as a Mets player?

Colby is out for the season?
I'll admit, I honestly had to go to Wikipedia to see which other team he played for. Completely forgot about that.

Knix.
I didn't even originally read the name "Braves" in his post. Like my brain couldn't process it.

Back to back, just like old times. To bad the umps blew the call on the HBP.

Ichiro is one classy guy. Loved his answer regarding what number he was gonna wear.
Paraphrasing: "Of course, #51 has been very special to me during my career, but I also know what a special number #51 is to the Yankees and their fans because of Bernie Williams. I will pick a new number and make that new number my own."

Yep. I wish Howard and Utley started the season.

I assume he'll keep his residence over here actually but I could be wrong. I recall him mentioning that he really enjoyed living in Seattle a few times over the years. He has a nice place over in Issaquah, I think and it's a pretty great area and quiet.
I mentioned it in the other thread but I'm sad to see him go from the Mariners but I can understand why he wanted to be traded, both his public reasons and likely private ones, so I hope the best for him over in NY. He really deserves a ring.
He has some god-like R-34s and R-33s. Last I checked, his daily ride was gorgeously modded previous gen G-Coupe in Diamond Graphite aka best G color.

Yeah the Phils team is so different with them. Even with the bullpen problems they still would have been a playoff team with those guys. Oh well retool for next year and start another 5 year run.

No idea they didnt say anything on tv? Weird.
Edit: They were looking at his arm so I guess injury.
Who can the Philles sign or trade for that will have more production than...?
Harper, Zimmerman, Desmond, Espinosa
Heyward, Freeman
Wright
Stanton
Young talent. I guess the Phillies could sign Bourn away. Who else will be out there?
