**Okajima surrenders grand slam in Red Sox's loss **

The left-hander allowed one run and one hit in 1-1/3 innings.

This is a perfect example of why ERA is not such a good measurement of success for relievers, especially middle ones. How many inherited runners score is also important.

As Peaceful Man pointed out, Yuko Arimori did not win an Olympic gold medal. She got a silver and a bronze.

Kyoko Iwasaki had great success at the age of 14 and then not much more-at least in swimming. She did make a rather nice semi-nude photobook a few years…

Many Japanese women are simply divine.

Many foreign women in Japan are simply bovine.

And what is average among Japanese women is still pretty darn good.

So why should a foreign guy pay attention to a foreign woman unless he really doesn`t have any interest in Japanese women?

Japanese women…

This idiocy from the J-police is rivalled in my memory only by the story a few years ago when a suspect took a dump in his pants on the way to a police station and the police rolled down the window to let the smell out. Needless to say, Mr.…

Japan has not kept its promises under the terms of the Kyoto Protocol the past decade, not by a longshot, so why should we even entertain the notion that it would do so under some new plan for 40 years down the road?

northlondon: It does not make any difference if Igawa was a top-flight pitcher in Japan or not. The fact is that he has been terrible in the U.S. into his second season now and the Yankees have gotten virtually nothing for their investment. Boston did its "homework" with Matsuzaka; the…

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of the enactment of the Local Autonomy Law, the Finance Ministry will begin to issue coins with designs of all prefectures in fiscal 2008.

In other words, they`ve seen how successful the U.S. has been with its ten-year 50 State Quarter program from 1999 and…

bushlover:

And no he's not an 'officer' he's a "Non-commissioned Officer". And mr. pathat, that is not a 'bottom-feeder'.

I was a junior NCO once upon a time, and, yes, it does mean you are a bottom feeder.

Don't put all in certain ranks down on your level.

Impressive, bushlover,…

He is not an officer. He is a corporal. He is a bottom feeder.

Sounds like he was watching too many samurai dramas on TV.

Sounds more like he read the life of Yukio Mishima to me.
