For a man in his 40's Randy Johnson has surpassed measures which few pitchers today can match. His time in the majors has been worthy of remembering. Coming up with the Expos I'm sure he was overlooked. His strikeouts totals now are over 3,000. Most fans reminisce at times about his days as a Seattle Mariner. He overpowered batters with his velocity on pitches. There will never be another pitcher like him!
Now as a member with the Giants nobody really cares much about him. I still do because despite it all he's my favorite player ever. Fans among others spout off too much about who is next best talent and forget about the quality players still around in the game. For a once dominating pitcher Johnson still has a good fastball and value to any MLB team. Why people underscore is beyond me.
I'd typically like to see on a team where he can be seen as an asset again such as in Chicago. For reasons which are obvious such veteran leadership sometimes makes a reasonable difference. If baseball owners cared more about quality rather than whatever else is on their mind than the national past-time could hold higher esteem and value again. Pitchers like the Big Unit don't last forever.

Monopoly money in baseball: throwing it to the wind
Today owners and managers really think they're top sh*t. Whether it's wheeling and dealing and just plain stealing a person's time they don't truly care about the fans. Well, at least not most of the owners. It's not what talent a franchise has these days yet how much freaking greed they crave to fuel their idiotic business lifestyles. I don't care how good something looks on paper if it results in the same old stupid clusterf**k of problems each season with failure no one truly is happy. It's like throwing a bunch of money is the air to see if it floats despite the fact hope and moral decreases big time.
Fans in general will always be there to fill seats yet without success things go awry. Too much time is pissed away agruing over money issues and withholding too much pertinent information. When idiocy alongside selfishness and utter bottled up feelings are not displayed face-to-face then usually doom happens to those who least expect it. I tired of reiterating these damn points on this page because baseball owners never get the freaking message! Go luck with the season f**kers!

Ichiro aims to please with hit streak, Mariners win
In Seattle everything isn't all gravy with performance. However, keeping the franchise looking sharp is Ichiro Suzuki and Ken Griffey Jr. Nothing seems to ever stand in the way to the point of self-destruction. Those who believer the elder veteran star is washed up are plain stupid. In his late 30's the one known as 'Junior' pretty much still has strong will and courage. Last night the team squared off against the Orioles and prevailed 8-2. The runs came in form mainly of extra base hits.
Eric Bedard pitched with a sterling rhythm, aiding the cause as a starter. Here is his stat line:
6.1 IP 4 H 1 R 1 ER 3 BB 7 K 0 HR. Griffey Jr. fueled the offense with a 3-for-5 offense that included 2 doubles. As the lead-off man Ichiro is awesome this year. He's batting .353 with 16 RBIs. With the victory Seattle bumps their record to 25-28. They look towards rebounding from a trite previous season with disappointment. Their aim is at advancing past .500 with hope at notching second place in the AL West. Good luck to them in their pursuit!
