Ichiro

[GonzoStyle]

He went 2 for 4 today and is at 249 hits now, he's 9 away from breaking the mark of 257. My question is does anyone really care? Beyond home run marks, hitting 400, breaking the RBI record would be exciting maybe.

But most hits in a season, is it really exciting? Most of them, hell pretty much all of them were singles well over 200 singles. It's a great accomplishment naturally, not everyone and pretty much no one else but Sisler over 80 years ago has had a better single seasons hits mark not Cobb, Williams, or anyone else.

But I just really don't care to be honest cause maybe it's cause I dont like Ichiro or Seattle is beyond crap this year, or cause it's a bunch of singles and that doesnt win games, I dunno.

unless he gets 8 hits today he didnt break the record.

When was the last time an 84 year old record got broken? If he had this kind of season on any other Seattle team the last 2 years he'd be MVP again and have 160 runs scored instead of 98. He's 12 hits away from having 4 50-hit months this season. Pete Rose had 2 his entire career. And since when do singles not win games? You're down 3 runs in the 9th you don't need a solo HR, you need baserunners. It's like every time Jeter's up with the bases loaded Michael Kay has to bring up the fact that he's never hit a grand slam. Then 10 seconds later he has a 2-run, go ahead single or bases clearing double.

Ichiro isn't on roids. That makes it better than bonds.
