Great! I love the Autumnal sound of Giants choking....

Very sad to see the Eagles tank so badly tonight however. Clearly they have NO relief pitchers with talent. OMG!!

Good to see Chunichi get the inevitable Yomiuri collapse started.

Not good to see only an article on this stinky game and nothing on the highly compelling Fighters-Eagles game. I'm quite frankly shocked at the Eagles blowing that one. Did you see how many of the Fighters fans cleared out of the stadium early after Rakuten scored 2 in the top of the 9th? I bet they regret that one.

go dragons, send those overstuffed midgets back to their overstuffed bank accounts without winning the JS again. Ochiai is just so much smarter than Hara, that is the dragons big edge.

Seems like a lot of anti-Giants fans out there. Sorry zurcro, but managers do not throw, hit, or make the game. Its the players. P-L-A-Y-E-R-S. Don't bring up dead skeletons about which manager is smarter. Its just nonsense. And don't write off the Giants so soon. One game does not a series make.

There were still quite a lot of Fighters fans left in the dome at the end.

Really was the better game last night.

I could amost see this one coming. The Giants played unusually well against the Drags all year, but Chunichi is loaded with pitching. Law of averages playing itself out....

Nice HR from Blanco!

he was so smart he came second to Hara, the world champion coach, again this year.

"he was so smart he came second to Hara, the world champion coach, again this year."

Those regular season championships are like kissing your sister...although Hara is a pretty good manager (surely better than Horiuchi).
