It was a joke, chill with the Budinger reference lol.
that's why I renamed that thread the Gameday thread. Eventually it's going to get through people's heads.Theres nothing you can do though, cuz people will keep posting them there.
I go from the team with the most losses to the team with the most wins so obviously it’s hard to contain my excitement
-Ichiro
That would be ideal but I don't know if Girardi has the cogliones to hit someone like Ichiro 9th or if he'd even be OK with thatMaybe bat him last and use him in that "second leadoff" spot.

#Ichiro will wear No. 31
I guess Ichiro just wants a shot at a championship, and it's not a surprise this late in his career. He deserves it.Before agreeing to acquire the outfielder, the Yankees provided a list of conditions to Ichiro Suzuki.
New York asked the former AL MVP to switch positions, hit at the bottom of the lineup and possibly sit against left-handed pitching.
"He was fully educated on all our requirements," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "One by one, every box got ticked off."
Ichiro had requested a trade from the last-place Mariners, the only big league team he had ever played for after coming to the United States from Japan as a 27-year-old in 2001.
The Yankees were not sure Ichiro would be willing to make all the adjustments they required.
