so far, the mariners are exhibiting signs of a champoinship type team...after a nice winning streak was snapped, they were able to string another streak only to have it snapped by your buddies, the Yanks. Both clubs have outstanding pitching and solid hitting.
without question, this is the best team the mariners have fielded in its history,,,and one can argue that Ichiro is perhaps the most exciting baseball player in mariners history....yes, more so than Griffey, johnson, Arod, and the Edgar...
23 in a Ichi...ROW,,,,has speed, glove, hitting, japanes fanfare, and steps in and captures the hearts of fans in Seattle and possibly nation on the heels of losing the highest paid baseball player in history.
the season is still young, same for the kudos to ichiro, but this ride has been exciting! |
