Oh. Never saw it. :sweat:

Ahh, yes. Good ol' Major League. Cheers to Mr. Bob Uecker. :applaud:

Ichiro etched his name in the history books on Thursday night, becoming the first major league player with at least 200 hits in each of his first four seasons. Next on his hit list: Ichiro has a shot at breaking the major league record for hits in a single season set in 1920.

Never knew Wesley was in Major League. Only remember Charlie Sheen. :beaten:

Ichiro did it!! He got his 50th hit today!!! That's three 50-hit months... :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud: :applaud:

Make it four and he will be owning the new single season hit record!

Looks like his mini-slump is over. 3-6 today, I think. I hope he keeps up pace to break the hits record.

Ichiro went 5-for-5 today!!! :bow: :bow:

That gives him 223 hits with 27 games to go to break George Sisler's 1920 record of 257 hits....

Ganbatte, Ichiro!!! :applaud: :applaud:

At the rate he is going he is going to end with over 265 hits. Truly great Ichiro

Ichiro went 1-for-5 against the Indians last night to give him 227 hits with 24 games to go.... He's 30 hits from tying the 84-year old record.

Ganbatte, Ichiro!! :applaud: :woot:

Go Ichiro! :woot:

Two more hits for Ichiro tonight... :applaud:

229 hits with 23 more games to go... :sweat:

um, shinjo went back to JPN baseball after last yr. :sweat:

Ichiro Suzuki got his first extra-base hit in 10 games, an RBI double in the fifth. He went 1-for-4 and with 232 hits is 25 shy of George Sisler's 84-year-old season record with 18 games left...

Time's running out for Ichiro... Ganbatte!! :applaud:

We dont have an MLB topic yet but I found this news to be hilarous from ESPN's headlines: Howe fired by Mets, effective at season's end

Full story here: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1882033

This was after I was watching sports center and how they kept saying the Mets don't even know how to fire their own manager correctly. Poor Howe, he should have stayed with Oakland. Anyways back to Ichiro! :D

Yea I actually thought valentine was a very good manager. They just didn't give him enough players to work with later on after that one trip to the world series
