Carlos Silvia was right; Ichiro needs to go. He just embarrasses the rest of the team with his offensive success. I mean what nerve this guy has thinking it is ok to show up and hit near .300 on this team!
Doesn’t he know that the team can’t win if everyone is not pulling in the same direction? The University of Washington crew team didn’t become a national powerhouse because all of the individual accomplishment and accolades of the members. They did it by synchronizing themselves and working to a common goal. No one player stood out above the rest.
Hasn’t he heard anything Eric Wedge has said about being a team player? The rest of these guys come to the park and do their parts. They know what it means to be a Seattle Mariners. They get it. That Ichiro guy, he is still stuck in some delusional world where success is measured by the number of hits you get and runs you score. Who thinks that way?
The fans of this fine city have made their voices heard. If Ichiro cares so much about his personal numbers, he should just go somewhere else. Somewhere like Boston or New York where individual accomplishments are valued over team unity.
