“Almost the entire stadium didn’t have a good view of that play,” the Mariners right fielder said after making a sliding catch near the tarp along the first-base line at Kauffman Stadium. “I did catch the ball, but even if I didn’t, I probably could have scooped the ball up and said, ‘Hey I caught it,’ and probably no one would have known about it.”
There’s a moment that just looks like he’s thinking “Holy crap, I can’t believe I didn’t kill myself there!” I think that’s the least confident I’ve ever seen him appear.
I love that man

I love him more.

One of my favorite Ichiro catches ever
Though that’s mostly because the camera angle was perfect. “Did he get it?! Did he catch it … ?!”
::glove pops out from behind the tarp::
“HE CAUGHT IT!”

Jap anus relations.
Ichiro is amazing, and that call by Dave was another classic. Glad I was listening to the radio.

As the kids say, "Ichiro Rules!"
We’ve gotten really spoiled with him both offensively and defensively.
Sinking Away - August 4, 2009
"Ichiro knows more about defense than you do."
and we won’t even go into how much cooler he is.

BBTN has decided Ichiro is WebGem #2.
Santana deflecting a ball to David Wright who throws out the runner gets no. 1.
msb - August 4, 2009
I'm pretty sure BBTN wants to blow David Wright.
beansandbears - August 4, 2009
If wanting to blow David Wright is wrong I don't want to be right
Graham MacAree - August 4, 2009
They even mentioned that Ichiro's catch was 9th inning, bases-loaded.
msb - August 4, 2009
I'd rather blow Ichiro.
Sinking Away - August 4, 2009
Holla!
Simon Phoenix - August 4, 2009
Seconded.
I don’t understand how anyone can dislike that guy.
Teej - August 5, 2009
Unlike the vast majority of this site
I am not into that gay stuff
Poochie - August 5, 2009
More for us.
Teej - August 5, 2009
That's not what you said last night
pdb - August 5, 2009
Technically that is true.
Poochie - August 5, 2009
wow.
Damn fine suits on the dudes on the ESPN NFL show.
msb - August 4, 2009
I didn't figure you a suit and tie girl.
kevin_ess - August 4, 2009
One was saffron colored and the other an irridescent striped number.
I’m not sure I would want to see anyone wearing them in real life, but on tv they were so … shiny.

The bigger version is not as flattering.

Never noticed it before but rec'd for your sig.

Obligatory Ichiro quote from Jim Street
“Almost the entire stadium didn’t have a good view of that play,” the Mariners right fielder said after making a sliding catch near the tarp along the first-base line at Kauffman Stadium. “I did catch the ball, but even if I didn’t, I probably could have scooped the ball up and said, ‘Hey I caught it,’ and probably no one would have known about it.”

The look on Ichiro's face is great in slo-mo...
There’s a moment that just looks like he’s thinking “Holy crap, I can’t believe I didn’t kill myself there!” I think that’s the least confident I’ve ever seen him appear.
Sidi - August 5, 2009
" I love how he doesn't even look stoked to have caught that."
“He just holds it up like he’s challenging someone to deny him.”
Torrid summed it up nicely in the game thread
Ichiro is awesome cool.
