Interesting quotes from Ichiro
June 12th, 2007 by ktula
Update 2008/05/23
From Fox Sports on MSN, regarding the AL-worst 18-31 Mariners:
“Playing on this team and seeing what’s happening around me, I feel that something is beginning to fall apart,” Suzuki said through a translator. “But, if I was not in the situation and I was objectively watching what had happened to this team in the past week, I would probably be drinking a lot of beers and brewing it.”
What kind of beer?
“Usually I enjoy Japanese beer, but given the situation, if I was objectively watching the game, I wouldn’t care if it was Japanese beer, American beer or beer from Papua New Guinea,” he said.
From usatoday.com:
On performance-enhancing drugs: “When you take steroids, it’s not as if wings grow out of your back, and you start flying all over the place and stealing home runs (from hitters). The word ‘cheating’ doesn’t apply for me regarding steroids.”
Being an entertainer: “I want to be the kind of player who people feel it is worth paying the money to come out and watch. … When I meet players who are playing just to win, that angers me.”
Pete Rose: “No one can deny his 4,000-plus hits. The gambling thing is something different. … On the front of his Hall of Fame plaque they should put all of his records and amazing feats. When you flip it over, it should say, ‘He gambled on baseball.’ But I would vote for him.”
Tiger Woods’ athleticism: “Tiger is a great golfer, but … when you say athlete, I think of Carl Lewis. When you talk about (golfers or race-car drivers), I don’t want to see them run. It’s the same if you were to meet a beautiful girl and go bowling. If she’s an ugly bowler, you are going to be disappointed.”
“It’s a weakness to try to show yourself to be more than you actually are. To me, it’s cooler to hide yourself, even if you’re better than that,” Ichiro says. “That’s a big difference between Japanese and American cultures. Sometimes, (Americans) try to make themselves out to be bigger than they are.”
“The majority of people in the clubhouse make fun of my clothing - but I make fun of their clothes 100 times more,” he says, with an animated laugh.
“Anytime they say they like my stuff, that’s when I start to worry. When they make fun of it, I think, ‘OK, I actually look good today.’ “
From Tim Brown at Yahoo! Sports:
On the then-slumping Mariners’ prospects of improvement: “If there is a problem, we need to notice what creates the problem. The problem usually isn’t just on the cover. You need to look much deeper. For example, if we’re talking about a tree and the tree has a problem, you need to look at the root. But you cannot see the root. The mistake is to keep watering the fruit. That’s not going to solve anything.”
On losing a fly ball in the flint-gray Anaheim sky: “The ball became the same color as the sky. So, I wasn’t able to see it. … I was sending mental signals for the ball not to come my way, because during that time of day it’s impossible for me to see the ball, so I lacked mental signals. I lacked in that area. … Usually, I don’t send mental signals. So, because this is the first time, I thought, ‘Please don’t come my way.’”
On making up yet another game in Cleveland last night, to the Seattle Times: “To tell the truth, I’m not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to. If I ever saw myself saying I’m excited going to Cleveland, I’d punch myself in the face, because I’m lying.”
From the Seattle Post Intelligencer:
On raising his batting average from 0.192 to .290 after going 4 for 5 including a home run: “Yesterday, I ate two ice creams,” he said through an interpreter. “Usually I only eat one.”

Yeap, that is what a pullet (a young hen less than a year old) appears on some restaurant menus in China, according to this New York Times article. In preparation for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, the Chinese authorities are trying to clean up some local bad habits like public spitting, no sense of lining up or queuing and really bad English translations on signs and restaurant menus. I have been to Beijing, the first time in the hot summer month of July in 2005 and the frigid cold winter in December the same year. I have personally witnessed the above-mentioned “bad habits”, including a few additional ones like this and that. But nothing beats what i found in my Fuzhou hotel room last June.

You gotta have balls to drive this…

In this day and age of global warming partly attributed to car exhausts, you really gotta have balls to drive a big ass gas-guzzling pickup truck like this in Seattle.
