People physically threatening Ichiro need to be dumped on their useless ass now.

Ichiro is the only good thing on this club.

Bavasi, Armstrong and Lincoln saw to that.

Wonder if it was Bedard? Mr. keep his career threatening injury a secret for two months while pointing the finger at everyone else he could?

How about Carlos “my fat ass had one lucky season in 2005″ Silva ? Or that bringer of veteran grit, Jarrod “Throw Jojima under the bus” Washburn?

Whoever it was, I bet those guys were involved. Not worth a damn any one of them.

Yeah, I just wrote that up as a separate post. It’s Silva, for a variety of reasons you can probably figure out.

I feel compelled to comment again….

If Ichiro is “selfish” and could have gotten to some balls in right if he was healthy, what should they be saying about Rauuuul???? All those “u”’s aren’t helping him get to 75% of the balls hit to left, and he’s HEALTHY!!!

I see at the end of the NBC piece they finally got to part of the other side of the story that Baker included ... my bet was on Carlos Silva.

Here is the story by NBCSports.com Does this show how disfuncional and out of control the Seattle organization is? Who is steering the ship? Or is no one minding the store? It is a sad state of affairs.

@smb, @metz123

I agree with the statement that whomever publicly voiced thier thoughts that Ichiro was “slacking” or “didn’t care”, should be released, fired, demoted, traded.

Ichiro in what could be considered a slow year hitting, STILL managed to break a record for 200+ hit seasons. Who else on this team is as good defensively, and offensively as Ichiro???? Anyone???

Yeah, it was a Times story that NBCsports lifted, I guess…I didn’t read it that closely because in all honesty, anyone could have guessed that crap. None of those guys were looking in the mirror to see the problem, just pointing fingers, I’m sure. Either that or some sublime state of denial at which I can only kneel in awe.

This is a historic accomplishment. Much of the credit goes to Bill Bavasi but let’s not forget the contributions by Chuck Armstrong and Howard Lincoln. Even owner in absentia, Hiroshi Yamauchi, kicked in with his mandated Jojima contract extension.

Now, I have to admit I was a little worried there towards the end of the season but the Mariners really sucked it up and went on a well executed 12 game losing streak. This streak really showed what a team with great chemistry can accomplish when everyone pulls together.

Way to go M’s! You are the first. Take a bow.

If that Ichiro story is true, the M’s should consider firing everyone in the club house attached to the story and replacing them with minor leaguers. They can’t get any worse on the field.

Wow, NBCsports reporting teammates considered attacking Ichiro physically earlier this season. Yeah, because Ichiro is how/why you get to 100 losses. Unbelievable.

All it took was 7 short years to go from tying the record for most regular season wins, to the worst team ever in terms of player salary per win.

well, you have to admit, both are pretty flukey baseball occurences…
