Such impatience. It took twelve years before the burning shame of being compared to a corpulent amphibian became more than Irabu could endure. If you are still with us in 2014, then we will have learned something.

I saw him pitch in a game against the Mariners at some point in 98 or 99. It was a blow-out. But, he pitched excellently that day. He always seemed to be on the cusp of becoming something greater than what he was. And that was his problem.
Steinbrenner wanted to get a Japanese player on the team to get people in the seats (which worked). Couple that with high fan expectations, and this guy was doomed to fail.

That was the tough thing. He was supposed to be the next Clemens or Ryan. For someone to meet those expectations is quite tough.
Suicide is nothing to joke about. Some of these posts are pathetic. Too many heartless jerks in this world.
