Things got so bad in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse during this discouraging season that one player reportedly threatened to "knock out" outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, the team's highest profile player.

A "clubhouse insider" quoted in Thursday's edition of The Seattle Times said, "I just can't believe the number of guys who really dislike him. It got to a point early on when I thought they were going to get together and go after him."


J.J. Putz said he doesn't remember any such incident and said there was no meeting to talk about it.


Mariners manager Jim Riggleman also said he doesn't remember any such clubhouse turmoil centered on Suzuki, nor a meeting to deal with it.


i really thought the article was worst, but things seem to be pretty tense at the M's house... it's going to be a looooooooooooooooooooong offseason...

Oh my lord...when things couldn't get worse? I'm still curious to who would say that, but what did Mariner fans do to deserve this?
