What do you think about this article "Ichiro believes the slap single can be a sign of iness"? It it true?

I'm a fan of Duk and i read his big league stew daily but yeah i agree it was weird. Although I disagree with the whole "all chicks dig the long ball" because quite frankly homeruns aren't that impressive to me *shrug* Call me weird but i'm more of a pitching/defense kinda girl ;)
