Blue_Tiger, they are only giving McD's a run for their money in Tokyo I think. Still waiting for a BK in Hiroshima. (There was one for a short time, before the whole chain folded the last time. Hopefully this time around they'll survive.) I'm all for these new quarter pounders,…

What ever happened to the captain going down with the ship? This is an amazing story with a bittersweet end. Condolences to the 5 who passed away and their families and friends. Great job by the rescuers, and I hope the survivors will have long lives.

Agree with pathat, Jojima is a great signing. He will probably be the main catcher next season, and he will be able to pass on his experience both in Japan and the US to the younger catchers at Hanshin. Go Jojima.
