It'll be nothing without any suspense.

Nah, I was hoping he would smash the record and put it really out of reach... The current record's lasted over 84 years... :sweat:

Today's stats:

Ichiro 1-for-4.


251 hits total. 7 to break the record with 7 games to go. :sweat:

Well we've got a NFL thread, so.......... :)


Dodgers looking to close out the Giants, leading 7-4, bottom of the ninth, two out.

Yea messed up day today. Only bright spot in sports for me is Favre going for 4 TDs and many with 5 :hehe: :hehe:

Oh well, I still think it's going to come down to the last 3 games of this season :P

Possibly. The Dodgers have problems with the Rockies.

Of course, the Giants have problems with the Padres, too. :hehe:

It would be totally bizzare if the Padres passed both teams to take the West... :bleh:

How far are they back? I'm actually really concerned about Schimdt starting against the Padres. He has like an 8 ERA against them :beaten:

2-1/2 as of today.

Six more games for the Giants. Seven more for the Dodgers.

Yea, I actually hope the Dodgers make it though. But as a Wild Card of course :hehe: :hehe:

Just cause of the simple fact that if the wild card comes out of the West, the wild card team has to play St. Louis first round and I like my chances against Atlanta and their disappearing act more. Then again the Cards are good at disappearing as well and so are the Giants. Haven't seen LA make it in a while so I have no clue how this team would do, but a Giants and Dodgers NLCS would be awesome! :hehe: :hehe:

Actually, I'm rooting for the Cubbies to be the wild card. :D

To see the Dodgers win the division is almost a major accomplishment in itself... I think the dodgers haven't won a playoff game in over a decade... :sweat:

However once he breaks the record this year, it wouldn't be too outrageous that he could do it again. Imagine having his name up there many times. Right now he is tied for seventh overall I think.

Whoa that is a long time :sweat:

The Cubs huh? The thing I'm most afraid of them is the big 3.... errr 4. If they make it, they might just march into the world series. Then again they're jinxed, as are the red sox. Hmm so many teams are jinxed. I wonder who's going to win. Okay, if the Giants don't make it, I'm betting on the Twins! In Johan Santana I believe!

That sounds about right. I think he's tied with Cobb right now...

True. But the record has lasted for 84 years, and he's the only one who is this close to smashing it. Suspense in this case is good.
It'll give him something to work for next season. :D

Hmm, okay.

So why did you say that he has an attitude? Is he arrogant?

Ichiro watch:

0-for-3 vs. Oakland in the 6th inning.... :sweat:

Ichiro's now 1-for-4 in the 8th inning.
