Dear Tim McCarver:

Just because two men are of the same background (Japanese in this case) does not mean that they are BFFE nor would they want to play on the same team. I don't know what you heard, but Seattle has been shit for years, and, yes, Ichiro is the lone bright spot in an otherwords dreary and depressing city team -- but for christsakes -- that does not mean Matsui would want to trade away everything here in New York to play for the Mariners because they are both Japanese. In fact, while both men are polite and nice about each other in the media, from everything I've read -- neither man actually likes the other. So, please, shut the fuck up Tim McCarver.

Love,
Doubts Ron Darling would be any smarter at this point.
