It will be interesting to see if Japan will retaliate for the plunking of Ichiro...and the smiles and high fives in the dugout that followed. Will add the disclaimer that the highlights were watched with the sound off. Not too sure if any context was added. I think the next round may some little tidbits to follow as well.

He wishes Baseball would be back in Olympic again, he worries that more Japanese kids are choosing Soccer over Baseball, he is frustrated by his souless Seahawks teammates, and he become awared that foreign players in MLB are not treated equally to the US born players... But to make Baseball what it was used to be, he knows he has to keep playing Baseball with his best attitude. He was only commenting toward Japanese audienced that he is taking WBC seriously. I just hate to see Ichiro's lofty manner (toward baseball) is tainted by some korea-centric dirty minds calls his comment "trash-talking".

I'd like to win in the way the opponents would think they cannot win against Japan for the next 30 years. That's how I'd like to play." There is nothing offensive or trashtalking in it, and He didn't specifically target the Korean team but just show his serious attitude toward WBC.
