Should be good games all around, just wondering if we will be able to see them all. Getting tired of the CMs already though.

As someone said in another post, Matsuzaka really does look out of shape. Why is it that certain Japanese players just turn into balloons when they play in USA? Nomo Hideo did well until the last few years when he too has been looking very bloated in the face, and wearing those tight pants does him no favours. All credit to Ichiro for actually looking fit.

I think the Japanese MLB players bulk up at the request of their teams to avoid injury during the longer season.

Even Ichiro has put on a lot of muscle compared to his Orix days.
