Ichiro-gate continues between the Marlins and Mariners' executives and Bill Bavasi gets in a real good zinger:
QUARREL CONTINUES
The verbal sparring continued Friday in the aftermath of comments by Marlins president David Samson objecting to the Seattle Mariners for the five-year, $90 million contract the team awarded to All-Star outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.
Samson said the lucrative contract would ''take the sport down,'' among other things.
Mariners president Chuck Armstrong shot back on Thursday, saying, ``It strikes us as bizarre that Samson would go public and make such a statement.''
Added Mariners general manager Bill Bavasi on Friday: 'My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is `[expletive] David Samson,' you shouldn't say anything at all. So I'm not going to say anything at all.''
Samson said Friday he is done discussing the issue.
