Ichiro's F***ing Pep-Talk

Have you ever wondered why the American League tends to win every All-Star Game? It's a surprise for us to learn that the AL All-stars have revealed their secret weapon: Ichiro Suzuki's pre-game pep talk.

According to Yahoo Sports, "Every year, after the AL manager addresses his team, Ichiro bursts from his locker, a bundle of kinetic energy, and proceeds, in English, to disparage the National League with an H-bomb of F-bombs, stunning first-timers who had no idea Ichiro speaks the queen's language fluently and making returnees happy that they had played well enough to see the pep talk again."

I just think its funny cuz Ichiro acts like he cant speak english, always needing an interpretor for media interviews... but every year at the beginning of the All-Star game, he comes out of no where once the teams manager leaves after his pep talk with the team, and goes on a long ENGLISH SPEAKING tirade about the N.L. And new comers are always surprised, because they assumed he didnt kno english, when really he speaks it fluently.

It motivates every to hate the N.L and play their best. While it also give the players something to laugh at and look forward to every yr.

I think its so weird that ever since Ichiro has started that tradition in 2001, the A.L has never lost a game...

its an inside joke ichiro has with the whole league lol

Thats hilarious!!! I'd love to see this.

Lol!

Lol.That is hilarious.

Trade Ichiro to the National League!!! The National League needs a Japanese All -Star motivational speaker so we can win a game.

Wait till Fukudome gets there again next year and gets more fluent.

The AL has won 12 years now. That is longer than Ichiro has been giving his pep talk.

You've got to love Ichiro!!
My only question is this: why haven't the Seattle Mariners, who happen to be both my home team as well as my favorite team outside of the Dodgers, become as successful as the AL All Star teams of the past 10 years or so? Doesn't he have some sort of speech for his teammates as well?
If not, he needs to start and see what happens. Hell, I'M interested in seeing what happens...
