Ichiro Suzuki recently signed a five year extension with the Seattle Mariners. Why you might ask? Hargrove leaving? Team playing better? No. How about Fido...
Here's an excerpt from his press conference:
Did any one person influence you to stay in Seattle?Yes, my dog. He said "ruff, ruff, ruff." That means "stay, stay, stay."
Thanks to the fine folks at Enjoy the Enjoyment for posting the press conference.
So, what does that have to do with Michael Vick. Well, considering that Vicks getting his day in court tomorrow and Ichiro understands dogs...well, we have one boned Falcon on our hands.
We'd ask Noriaki Kinoshita to see, but his dog translating abilities have yet to be seen.
Now, its a federal case, so we may never know what Ichiro can tell the authorities. But rest assured, the testimony of those dogs will be heard.
Thanks Ichiro. Now, stop striking out/popping out with runners in scoring position.
