Notice of Site Renovation
So much of this site is jumbled up and half done with the new theme. Frankly,
despite the number of people who like it, it's driving me crazy. I hate to
look at it and call this my work. So the Player Meikan section is coming down
until I've had time to clean it up and bring it up to speed with the rest of
the site.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

The winning streak is up to eight games now with a defeat of the Carp in two games and a thrashing of the Giants. Tigers fans can be very happy.

Sportscasters Calling Asian Players Deceptive

Hi, does anyone here remember instances of sportscasters referring to Asian MLBers with stereotypical words like "deceptive," "sneaky," or something similar? I'm trying to compile a funny video collage with a country song about a liar boyfriend.

The winning streak finished on 8 games which was pretty impressive. Wada then used the Nohmi/Tsuruoka team and whilst it may be coincidental Tigers didn't perform at all losing 5-0. It was nice to see the ever improving Umeno back for the next game which Tigers won 6-4 courtesy of a Sekimoto pinch hit Grand Slam. One can see both Fujii and Hidaka leaving at the end of the season:

Another Rabbit

It's nice to see Tigers pulling off another series win at Nagoya. In the more familiar league they can successfully work round Wada's rank incompetence which couldn't be done in the inter league. The first game of the series went to the Dragons 8-4 with some controversy attached. Tigers bounced back though to take the second 8-1 with Fujinami pitching well but being overpitched. Once he gave up a run it was time to replace him but Wada in his pettiness had Fujinami throw 143 pitches in a pointless complete game. It would have been a great idea to give some of the relief a run out. The final game saw some sense - Messenger's pitch count was too high but he was at least relieved after eight innings. Oh picked up his 22nd save of the season - Nakanishi needn't have worried.
