    Rumor Mariners players wanted to beat up Ichiro.

    An anonymous clubhouse insider told the Seattle Times that Mariners teammates were so annoyed with Ichiro Suzuki earlier this season that they considered beating him up.
    "I just can't believe the number of guys who really dislike him," said the insider. "It got to a point early on when I thought they were going to get together and go after him." The coaching staff and then-manager John McLaren intervened when one player was overheard talking about wanting to "knock him out." Perhaps the goal would have been to knock him around like the rest of the league has done to Carlos Silva this year, but given Mariners' hitters reputations, it's likely that the team could land several blows and still not do any damage. It's not as though Richie Sexson had a chance of making contact. Sep. 25 - 1:28 pm et


    love the Seattle sports scene.

    You know who I would want to take a swing at?

    Carlos Silva
    Bill Bavasi
    Erik Bedard
    Miguel Batista
    Richie Sexson
    The idiot that signed Johjima to that deal
    And anyone else that wanted to take a swing at the only guy that has been good all year.

    I'm sorry but Ichiro is one dude I wouldn't mess with. He is lightning quit and quite strong. No telling what kind of martial arts he knows.
