Good thing the young Japanese have a better head on their shoulders than this crap Prime Minister Aso. He definitely speaks out of his A** all the time.

Yes, so sad to the victims, and I hope they rest in peace. However, this is a good example where it pays to use your common sense and not let curiosity get the best of you.

It is amazing that this is the same Tazawa that faced the Yankees before, giving up the two-run walk-off homer to Rodriguez. He surely learned how to handle the Yankees.

Hotbox08 -- how do you figure that for Japan, which has a rich history in men's marathon, including at least one Olympic Gold, that 6th is a "great result"?

herefornow, read my quote again: "Congrats to him and all the runners who completed it. "

I simply said that ALL…

This is a great result and marathon is one of the hardest disciplines

Excellent point. Congrats to him and all the runners who completed it. I'm sure all the haters on this thread are just jealous that they can't even finish a marathon, much less compete in one. IMHO, at…

you are incapable of assessing the risk difference posed by a perpetrator of a crime holding a gun, and an innocent citizen who happened to be armed trying to stop the perpatrator, then you have a very serious judgement deficiency.

You mean to tell me, that if you suddenly happened…

Paranoia and pride are the key factors here. The guy who thought it was in his right to bring a gun (much less an assault weapon), obviously was paranoid that he had to protect himself in the oft-chance that someone would start shooting their gun at this convention center. He…

Good to see Kawakami get the win. He currently has the second worst run support for a pitcher and could have easily had 12-14 wins, if his team had given him more run support. He has 17 quality starts (a quality start is one in which the pitcher goes at…

To add:

Found this video showing one example of an automatic soap dispenser in Japan. Yes, it's not in a "TRAIN STATION" restroom, but it is in a PUBLIC RESTROOM IN JAPAN. Point is, I've been seeing more and more of these popping up in public places (eg. train stations,…

makes you wonder, should he be even batting leadoff?

Good point. If he were batting cleanup, he would be getting a lot more homers and driving in more runs. Then again, the other players would have to bat ahead of him, and if they can't get on base, then he…
