The last remaining mannered Japanese person. Sad day for the world.

I hope any attempts by Mr. Suzuki to emulate Pete Rose halt at this point.

This comment can only derive from someone who has never been to Japan. Sad day for that person.

We all have bad days.

The good thing that came out of this is that Ichiro seems more human. In any case, I suspect the Japanese will quickly erase this episode from their minds, quite good at pressing the ignorance button.

Wonder how long it will take before someone in America calls the race card on this one.

No, gogogo, someone in JAPAN will call the race card.

Is this the same Brian Runge who was involved in the chest bumping incident with Mets manager Charlie Manuel last year? Is this also the same Brian Runge who was also involved in an altercation with Milton Bradley, two years ago? Not to mention another run in with Twins manager Ron Gardenhire last year.

Seems like trouble follows this umpire everywhere.

Hotbox: Sounds like Brian Runge is a wanna be cop

Yep and if you watched the replays of that, it was Runge who bumped into Manuel and initiated the contact. It's all about Runge when he's in the game. The best umpires are the ones you never notice.

The announcers said he got tossed because he drew a line with his bat which is considered a major no-no.

Ichiro was ejected from Saturday’s game

Isn't this kinda old news, JT?

Moderator: The story was posted on Sunday Japan time, so it was not old news then.

presto: "He is an amazing person who is a perfectionist about every aspect of his play, his form, the game and his life."

I wouldn't go that far, especially with the way he acts in games against South Korea, but he is very disciplined, yes. Clearly on this day he was not, and he got called for it. No biggy, and obviously people will jump to his defense on this. Everyone else gets ejected once in a while, so Ichiro is simply showing how far he's been integrated into the Big Leagues.
