It was an interview with the Japanese media.

As you probably know, Ichiro is much much more entertaining when speaking to his own people. Anyway, Ichiro had been #1 all season, but Mauer just got enough ABs to make the list and so debuted at #1 bumpting Ichiro to #2.

When the reporter asked Ichiro how he felt about that, his answer was something like, “Mauer is a good guy, I like him. If it were someone else that would be unacceptable, but since it’s Mauer I’ll allow it.”

didn’t pay much attention to who wrote what.

When I first discovered Queen I liked the sophisticated, heavily orchestrated works. Then I liked the ballads. Later I came to appreciate the hard rock stuff.

Thirty years later, I think I like some of the rock stuff best. But only the really pure intense ones, not the noisy stuff.

it's so so so so sad

that I know, for a fact, in my heart, deep down inside, all the way within the innermost place in my being, that I could do a better job than Vince Cotroneo even after a full-frontal lobotomy.

Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me

than a frontal lobotomy.

They executed it fine

Even as such Gray had a bang-bang play at the plate (I think he made a good decision to throw to 1B), but when you consider the disaster of missing the bunt or popping it up versus all the ways that run can score if you let the AB play out, it’s just a terrible gamble.

Not really, IMO

Not when a walk scores one and doesn’t make an out, a fly ball scores one, a non DP grounder can score one, a hit can score 2-4…But, whatever. I guess the theory is that Aardsma can’t possibly hold a 2-run lead but if you can just give him 3 runs he’s good to go.
