the big black bags under Okadas eyes tell the whole sorry story of a sorry season in the losing.

Get ready to cry Hanshin fans :P

Does anyone know when Hanshin are publishing their manual on how to choke? Or their guide to how to leave runners on bases? It's a must read for all those interested in how to avoid just giving away the Central League title.

How many times has Akahoshi struck out to end the game in the last month?!

Apparently they can't because the New York Mets already own the copywrite.

Hate the Tigers, however, I loathe the Giants even more. Get ready for endless replays and instant experts on TV telling us how they have been "enthralled" by the Giants this season (after only watching the last couple of games). Also get ready for Ramirez and Lee to get de-pushed and be referred to as "helpers" as the spotlight is given to the "real" heroes.

Hope the Giants go out in the playoffs.

I can't bring myself to talk about this anymore. We were 12 games clear in the summer. This must be one of the biggest collapses in yakyu history and our record since the end of August is pants. Like I said, I would have traded the Carp getting in the playoffs instead because Hanshin don't deserve to.

Ramirez has almost singlehandedly won the pennant for Kyojin this season. Would be interesting to work out Yomiuri's record without Ramirez playing.

sure, foreign players are 'life-line' for Japanese Yakyu.

Go Tigers. I want to see Shimoyanagi V GG Sato at Seibu Dome.
