Ichiro Watch part 2

Another almost hit, as the shot came right up back the middle and hit the pitcher in the back then bounced off him right to the shortstop who threw Ichiro out. I'm waiting to see if the pitcher, Hudson, is going to be ok. That's always a really dangerous moment, when the ball finds the pitcher like that...

Both the Angels and the Rangers want the M's to win. The Rangers chances are worse at the moment than the Angels, but nobody has clinched this division. The M's are purely playing spoiler now. Really good practice for the young players. Anyway, the M's are up 3-0 as the bottom of the second starts.
