Back home in Arizona with not much to do, John McLaren griped to reporters that the M's clubhouse suffered from jealousies. The speculation is that he meant most players think Ichiro gets extra special treatment, and they don't like it. So the Times asked Ichiro if his teammates were jealous of him. Here's what he had to say:
"I don't know, but I would like to be the kind of player other players would be jealous of. What I can also tell you is jealous men are the worst things out there. I think jealous guys are worse than jealous women."
Then, in classic Ichiro style, he closed this way: "I don't even know if it exists."
Interpretations welcome in the comments section.

No one is jealous of a light-hitting (now) rightfielder with a .290 average.
um... I might be a little jealous of a light-hitting rightfielder with a .290 average. I can't even hit a wiffle ball.
Does my jealousy make me worse than a jealous woman? Or maybe I don't even exist? Or is he saying that if a man is jealous, he loses his manhood and becomes a jealous woman, and therefore never existed as a jealous man?
You can always count on Ichiro to drop some utterly confounding knowledge. If only he could hit with the same consistency. Hate to dog our best hitter, but he's over forty points below his average.
And for his next trick, Ichiro will describe the sound of one hand clapping.
