August 3, 200718 yr When Ichiro held a press conference earlier this month to discuss the deal, he divulged that a key advisory role in deciding to remain in Seattle was played by his dog Ikky. "He said, 'Woof, woof, woof,' which meant, 'Stay, stay, stay,' " Suzuki told reporters in Japanese. "Of course, I listened." oh ichiro, you're crazy but awesome.

I'll watch no matter what language he speaks in. Dude is almost guaranteed to get 2500 hits before he hits 40, and he has a shot at 3000 if he plays till he's 43 - which I have no doubt he'd be able to. If he gets those 3000, he'd have over 4400 hits between Japan and the majors, which is ridiculous to think about. He's the best leadoff hitter and flat out average hitter of this generation, and I don't see anyone changing that any time soon. Hell, he may end up with a .340 career average and I wouldn't be surprised.
