I love MC, but I really don't understand the anti-Ichiro mentality there.
It  seems like a lot of people just really don't like him.. Its a little depressing for me as a part-Japanese/former NPB fan.
This is the greatest NPB player of all-time, one of the greatest players in baseball during the decade of the 2000s, and people will just write him off as a selfish slap hitter. Instead of enjoying him on the field, they've been predicting his decline since 2002.
I don't want to speak bad of the MC'ers as I like and respect everyone there, but this is one area that really leaves me confused. Hes one of the few HOF players we'll ever have, hes stayed loyal to Seatlle and signed some team friendly contracts despite the losing.. and yet people legitimately seem to not like him.
