Kept flipping channels between both games last night and ended up missing a lot of the good stuff but overall, both were pretty good games last night with a slight edge to the Fighters-Eagles game.

I was surprised that Obispo made it passed the 3rd inning with has crappy as his start off was. Dead ball on Araki looked really painful and he nearly took Blanco's head off at one point. Surpised there wasn't a rush to the mound.

8th inning chance for a comeback by Rakuten was really intense. Seginol was just a bit too slow off of third, I think. Had he made it back, it would have change the flow of the game immensely.

Was it just me or were the Fighters' fans just not into it during the last inning? Or am I just too used to Tigers games?

And what the heck was up with cutting out the hero interview at the end of that game? I didn't bother with watching the hero interview for the Giants' game but still, come on!

Loved Obispo's perfectly placed bunt hit! And he smacked another hit to center later on.
