He's As Hot As They Come

It seems like everything Ichiro hits he is going to be safe on. In his past 4 games he is 11 for his last 15. Lets not forget the 5 stolen bases he has over those 4 games as well. On Wednesday, in the night cap of a double header he had the go ahead hit that scored Curtis Granderson. On Thursday night's game he had a home run and a go ahead 2 run run double.

Yesterday Ichiro went 2 for 3 and didn't have any important hits, but they were comical. The first one was hit right back up the middle and went into the shirt of starting pitcher Jarred Parker. The second was a ball that looked foul but just continued to stay fair and landed in shallow left field. I guess when you're hot, these things happen to you.

When the Yankees traded for Ichiro, they knew they were getting an all star and he has performed like one. With the Yankees he is hitting .321, with 4 home runs, 22 RBI, and 10 stolen bases.
