I think you just called yourself a loser

Nobody was ever better at hitting a 45 foot dribbler for a hit.   That's not meant as a slam -- the guy knew what his game was and he worked it, Carew redux...   He was listed at 175 pounds -- 150 of that must have been in his arm.   Dude had a cannon.

LOL...  Dude is gonna make one hell of a politician....

Congrats to Ichiro. LOVED that guy. Angel killer (remember when he robbed GA?), but one of those guys where it didnt matter. He eas too likeable to get upset when he was beating you (as I imagine a lot of other fans feel about Trout).

Thr best hitter Ive seen (contact) as an adult. Didnt hit homeruns like other guys of his generation, but was just as dangerous. Not including his baserunning, defense, and arm.

Congrats

[Taylor]

Better career than Jeter.

[Lou]

The Angel killer had a career 97+ OPS against us.

Would have loved to see Othani face Ichiro!!!

Yeah that Facking Mike Trout guy only has a 96+ OPS against the Mariners.

What a piece of shit.

I never said Ichiro is a piece of shit. 

However, if you think so . . . 

[Lou]

I bet M's fans are excited about Pujols possibly getting his 3,000th hit

His march towards it has been as slow as his run to 1B.

And no, I believe I speak for all of us, we do not.

See ya smelly farts tomorrow.

You don't really understand what you just posted, do you?

Mike Trout has a career .979  OPS .vs all of baseball.... Good for an OPS+ of 173 and a .960 OPS .vs Seattle...  You listed his tOPS+ which compares his numbers .vs a particular team .vs his overall numbers....  Ichiro has a career OPS+ of 107...  For perspective... Trout's career OPS+ is 6th best in MLB history.   Ichiro's 107 is tied with Howie Kendrick.

Mike Trout 's tOPS+ of 96 doesn't mean what you think it does...

Good talk...

Not bad for a 44 year old.  

Oh, and these highlights.  That throwing demonstration was just ridiculous.

This. I never recall of him doing much damage against us with his bat. It was Raul Ibanez that I hated facing on the M's.

I remember Ichiro bunting for a hit with runners on 2nd and 3rd and less than 2 outs once.  It loaded the bases for a .200 hitter, and of course the M's didn't score. I was like, "thanks Ichiro!"
