what is your favorite American expression? アメリカの言い回しで好きなのは何？ --August,in Kansas City,is hotter than two rats f#cking in a wool sock.　 　I have a bad team mate. カンザスの夏は靴下の中でヤってるネズミより暑い。

actually his English accent is a lot better than I expected, its pretty darn good

I think Ichiro meant to say, "August in Kansas City is hotter than 2 rats fucking in a wool sock". Hey, Ichiro's great. How can you not like this guy?

lol he said " i have a bad team mate" lmao

it's hella funny when he realizes what he's gonna say and he just laughs

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Jay Buhner haha

good stuff...

it's true. i live in kc. he's right.

im trying to find a video or anything saying what ichiro's curse word filled pep talks were like before all star games that a yahoo article referenced today. it was a really funny article saying he learned some Spanish just to talk crap on latino players when hes on the bases. if anyone can find a video or article saying what ichiro would say during the pep talks that would be awesome let me know please

That was great! I like the way that he gave his answer careful thought before he let Bob have it.

the greatest "dead ball" player since Ty Cobb......140 hits to 3000 and I'm rooting for him to accomplish this......my favorite player of this century and I've enjoyed every minute of his career.....a baseball legend for the ages.....oh....class? Musial, DiMaggio,Yastremski, Jeter class.....

No matter how many times I watch this, I still laugh my ass off.

I love Bob's reaction

from a bad teammate lol

august in kansas city is hotter than 2 rats in a fucking whool sock". LMAO ONe of the best ever

I can watch this 20 times in a row and want to watch it again...

He said "August, in Kansas City, is hotter than two rats in a f*@&ing wool sock", although the joke is actually "...two rats f*@&ing in a wool sock"

Ichiro is one-of-a-kind!! He has great humor and it's always fun to hear him talk!!

It's actually supposed to be "two rats fucking in a wool sock."

so funny that even the crew laughed hard

that was adorable and hilarious.

Hahaha, nobody realizes that he speaks brilliant English and drops the F-bomb about the NL after every All-star game. He's great...not to mention his playing.

heard it was bret boone that said that. that dude was always a good quote

My man

He's right. Trust me - I f^&*ing live there.

So cute!!!

Hahahaha, this guy, he's a champ!

That's pretty funny... this coming from a guy who said he wouldn't do interviews in English until he had mastered the language. I'd say he's got it down pretty good!!!

It hotter than two rats fucking in a wool sock is one of my favorite things to say. I love Ichiro.

i like ichiro!

so much applause

Did not expect that!

did you guys know he is the only player to have his first name on the back of his jersey

My favorite player lol

Brilliant!!!

Hahaha! He delivers that exactly like an American. For what everyone says about his lack of the English language, and I'm not sure I can comment on how well he speaks English, but if I heard that clip you could have convinced me it was an American.

That was fucking awesome.

Yeah, that's hilarious

yes

Where can I see the full interview of this?

Funny. I saw Suzuki play in KC this past July. It had to be at least 101 F with high humidity. Summer afternoon games at Kauffman can be hell.

30 royals players disliked this.

Yes

Ichiro is the best

8月のカンザスシティはウールの靴下に2匹のネズミを入れるよりもバカみたいに暑い

evidently he did!

Ayy lmao

its just saying that the city, Kansas City is very hot in August. It is just as hot as mice doing their (business) in a very warm wool sock. What Ichiro said was not a joke, but a saying like, " its raining cats and dogs"

Abbra Caddabra! You're welcome.

that was just about the most awesome moment in baseball ever

Sekeres & Price from the Team 1040 midday show sent me here. Lol.

i never thought that he would cuss

Anywhere we can get the full interview?

Let us know how August is in New York, Ichiro.

Cool! kawai!

u saw how hard the guy laughed

Lmao off this is true because I live here haha!

You know,I am a Red Sox fan and I don't like the Yankess BUT......Ichiro is freaking hilarious!!

lol (laughing online loudly)

Welcome to the New York Yankees 2012, Ichiro!

All I can think of is Minoru's "WELCOME TO IDAHO!!!"

hahaha!

Shit my headphones.... R.I.P.

Haha damn.

Ichiro is Japanese Jesus!

Ichiro is mad nice hes needs to be on a better team though

"august in kansas city is hotter than 2 rats in a fucking whool sock". - Ichiro

One of the best players ever and the funniest player ever

he inverted it I think. It's supposed to be "2 rats fucking in a wool sock"

"Honest? In Gaza City it's hotter than two rats in a fucking woosok!" - Ichiro

Lighten up, Francis. It was funny.

When was this?!?!?!

LMAO!!!....

in the description box

in august in kansas city, it's hotter than two rats in a fucking wool sock i'm a few words off, but you get it

Please some one explain me what it is?.. I don't understand the meanning?.. I'm still learning english

lol... did Ichiro just curse?

Wow lol haha.

seriously he dosen't lose brownie points for cussing this isn't ESPN and isn't purely intended for the Kiddies.

LMAO, that was awesome, p.s. he says "August in Kansas city, it's hotter than two rats in a f*cking wool sock"

For those that can't understand him, the joke is "August in Kansas City, is hotter than two rats in a fu&$*ng wool sock."

Ichiro got traded-_- about 20 min ago to the yankees

it's supposed to be "August in Kansas City is hotter than two rats fucking IN a wool sock."

in august in kansas city, it hotter than 2 rats in a fucking old sock

I didn't understand what Ichiro said...but he is still HOT as hell....

spelled "wool" wrong genius.

"August in kansas city, is hotter than 2 rats in a fucking wool sock" i think...it was funny though XD

is that the guy from snl?

I would say you missed the spirit of it. The reason they laughed so hard is because it came as such a surprise. They certainly didn't see that coming, as I did not. It just so happen to include some vulgarity. Not the end of the world, my friend....

I am japanese, and I don't understand the meaning of the joke. Please, someone explain about it for me. making fun of Kansas City?
