Lights Out Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Wow. Ichiro is my all-time favorite baseball player, and it'll be weird to see him in pinstripes. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ichiro to the Yankees disappoints me. I wanted to see him be a Mariner for his whole career. Oh well. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tBBP Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 And before anyone starts, let's nip this s*** in the bud right now:I don't give a if the Yankees win three straight more championships and Ichiro plays six more years...if he goes into the HoF, it WILL be as a Mariner.(There...that oughtta stop a lot of stupid discussion before it starts over in one of the sixteen HoF threads in this SiG forum.) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Why did Seattle even think of getting rid of Ichiro? I can't believe this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Why did Seattle even think of getting rid of Ichiro? I can't believe this.They blow hard and Ichiro's getting old. Best to trade him for some youth. Gotta think what's best for your club over sentiment. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

infrared41 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He's not a rental. The Yankees didn't just pick up the biggest name in Japanese baseball with the intention of him just being a rental.So you're thinking that the Yankees will get another 3-5 seasons out of a 39 year old outfielder? Interesting.This trade might actually get me to watch the Yankees on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Giants fans have been tearing into the FOX telecast on Saturday. The broadcast was pro-Phillies, with subdued reaction to SF homeruns(including a pitcher hitting a home run), and excited reactions to the Hamels and Howard homeruns. I know the announcers were from the Phillies, but isn't this the national broadcast where they are supposed to be fairer to the teams?

Kramerica Industries Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Ichiro isn't even a shell of what the shell of Ichiro is.I'll eat helpings of crow if this turns into gold for the Yankees, and I couldn't care less about the two minor league arms they gave up (both those players are dime-a-dozen pitchers, anyway), but the most significant thing about this trade is the name value, not the on-field value. Prove me wrong, Ichiro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadragon76 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Why did Seattle even think of getting rid of Ichiro? I can't believe this.They blow hard and Ichiro's getting old. Best to trade him for some youth. Gotta think what's best for your club over sentiment.Thanks for taking the words right out of my mouth, man.At this point, it's about what is best for the club and right now, it seems that this is the best move. Shocking that it is Ichiro that got traded not King Felix. But, let's face it: Ichiro isn't getting any younger and his game has fallen on some very hard times. In my mind, and in the minds of all Mariner fans, he will be one of the best to ever wear a Mariner jersey.If and when he goes to Cooperstown, it will be in the navy blue of the Seattle Mariners. With that, I wish him luck with the Yankees and hope his time in the Bronx is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpqmaowl Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Ichiro will wear 31. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logodawg Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Tigers acquire Omar Infante and Amibal Sanchez from Marlins for Jacob Turner, Rob Brantley and Brian Flynn.Hopefully this means the end of Ryan K-Burn.One can only hope. With Young, Jackson, Boesch, and Berry rotating the outfield and Dirks coming back soon it's hard to see where Leyland would stick him. Unless he pulls the same crap he did with 3B last year after the Betemit trade. I once had a car but I crashed it. I once had a guitar but I smashed it. I once, wait where am I going with this?

Sport Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 What's with the "if" Ichiro gets into the hall of fame business? He's a first ballot hall of famer as far as I'm concerned. He went to 10 straight all-star games, won the Gold Glove 10 straight times, 3 silver sluggers, rookie of the year, and MVP. He has one of the best rightfield arms we've ever seen. He's one of the best defensive outfielders we've ever seen. Also, HELLO, he's a lifetime .322 hitter, and he has 2500 hits in 12 years!He's a Cooperstown lock even after waiting until he was 27 to come to MLB.
