Ichiro watch:

To date, Ichiro has 238 hits with 12 games to go. He needs 20 hits to break the record.


Right now, he's 3-for-3 against the Angels in the 4th inning. :D

Update: Ichiro's now 4-for-4 in the 7th inning. :applaud: :applaud:

Game's over: Ichiro goes 5-for-5 giving him 243 hits... :woot: :woot: :woot: :applaud: :applaud:

He now needs 15 hits in the next 11 games to break the record. :D

He's been slumping a bit lately. So I suppose he will just need three more 5 for 5 nights, and the other eight games he can be cold.

Wow, awesome. Been out of the country for a bit, but great to see he's still tearing it up. Cheers. :woot:

at least they are pitching to him and not walking him a la Bonds.

In an article from the L.A. Times, Ichiro supposedly said that he hates to walk... :hehe:

Hard to justiify walking a lead off hitting who mostly get singles, then a power hitter. It would be too obvious that someone doesn't want him to break the record.

Good point. I forgot that he was the leadoff for the M's. :D

Game update:

Ichiro's 2-for-4 in the 7th inning. The M's are pounding the Angels 13-3. :hehe:


245 hits for Ichiro, 13 hits to break the record. :D

Amazing how hot he can get (4 for 6 I think tonight) I was somewhat worried when he had all those hitless games earlier. Now it looks like it is a matter of time that he will rewrite the record book.

Final results for today:

Ichiro 4-for-6.... Woo hoo! :woot:

247 hits for Ichiro, 11 to break the record, 10 games remaining.


Almost there, folks. :D :applaud:
