Hey Michael!

->  HN> Ichiro is still the fan's darling of the team. He

-> 
-> Well, he's back to .305, which, though second lowest
-> in his career, is better than 95% of players.
-> 
Yup, and the fact that any night the M's are 
playing a home game there are anywhere between
300-1000+ Japanese fans in the park doesn't 
indicate that the team will let him slip away
to anybody else in the near (or distant) future.

->  HN> rumors exlst that Ichiro is not the
->  HN> most team oriented player in the clubhouse. 
->  HN> A bit of a loner. How true those rumors are
->  HN> I can only guess.
-> 
-> Who knows. But you know, the mighty 1975 Red Sox were
-> said to take 26 separate cabs from the ballpark every
-> night after the game.
->
There are few players on the Mariner's roster
aside from Ichiro who should have an ego 
that large...though it seems that some 
do!
 
->  ->  HN> cure may be, but It's gonna be a bad tasting

->  -> Spirit them away to Brussels and rename them the Brewers?
->  HN> There are already brewers...perhaps they'd become the

-> Well, I was thinking of how the last Seattle team got

-> 
Funny, I never respected the Brewers, nor the Barstid
who schlepped off with them in the dark of night. 
When they were still an AL team we had the Biggest
brawls with them whenever they came to the 
kingdome! You could always count on a pretty
good crowd for those games, everyone wanted
to see some brew-crew get bruised up a bit!

->  HN> Spoke to Reggie once in the kingdome, back in the
->  HN> long past....what an arrogant a'hole he turned out

-> 
-> The only major leaguer I remember meeting was Gooden,
-> who was monosyllabic at best. May have met some former
-> players at functions, though, I forget.
->
I've met a few, most were really nice guys, Anne
is a big Yogi Berra fan (I KNOW he's a yank!),
but we've never had the chance to talk to him.
 
->  HN> Have not watched TV at all, have no idea how we're doing
->  HN> baseball wise or olympic wise
-> 
-> The M's truly stink. Team USA is tops in total medals,
-> thanks to Michael Phelps and his 7 golds and Natalie
-> Coughlin (a FOAF) with 5 of assorted colors. Red China
-> I think leads in golds. Cuba beat us in beisbol.
->
Still have not seen any TV, we are in Anderson CA
again, on our way back north. I suppose I"ll give
in and turn the idiot box on at some point, but I
have lots of email to catch up on first!
