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

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.

Jeff Weaver, Jarrod Washboard, Starbucks Coffee, Pearl Jam, the NBA, Deion Branch, that tight end that dropped 20 passes in the super bowl
Then you have T-shirts or shirts that you received as a gift or you bought when you were drunk or in the mood to just buy something. Those are the Carl Pavano shirts. -Bill Simmons
Second, I'd slap NYGF because he just seems to have it coming for him. I swear man you wouldn't last 5 minutes in California before you got your ass kicked. So I'd be doing him a service too. -hot corner gurl
