Where's the intepreter in the Ichiro conference on YES???

[will2survive]

---He's talking Japanese---no interpreter to be found.....He's on the decline as a player and this conference is ridiculous

unreal still can't speak english

I'd translate for you, but what Ichiro just said was obscene.

[Br0nxer]

unreal still can't speak english

funny thing is he can

they just don't want to

they said matsui spoke perfect english when he wanted to

[rumnblack]

I've seen him speak English, just hates Americans probably.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

rooster_eater knows english, he just chooses not to speak it.

Girardi is getting a hard on for this guy. This press conference is a joke. Ichiro is a "has been" that's not even making the effort to speak English

[KingJD31]

Never heard matsui speak English no idea, always awkward when giraridi has more to say to the interpreter than a future 3000 hitter

funny thing is he can

they just don't want to

they said matsui spoke perfect english when he wanted to

[Brock Landers]

Saw ichiro do a commercial in English for the mariners, was funny too

[Monitor-Tan]

Ichiro speaks perfect fluent english. He already stated that he will not do press conferences in english because of they way, the media might misinterpret what he's saying.. AKA he doesn't want media to put words in his mouth.
