How is it possible for a nations weather to be so bad that it affects it's supermarket sales for years on end ? Does the ministry realize that the national weather service has deemed the weather in Japan "normal" for the past 6 months ? Why can't these people face…

"Japan should buy more food from low inflation, food producing nations,outside japan, to keep cost of living down."

But the Japanese government is a feeble network of old geezers and wrinkled cronies who think they can "export" their way back to prosperity. They simply haven't…

"Size alone does not make for great leapers or league championships" "No, but it helps."

That's the point Sarge, no it doesn't !

It's all about spiking, blocking and game strategy" "Yeah, if the matches are between players of similar size."

Size alone does not make for great leapers or league championships, you got to have more. Japan obviously doesn't, and complaining about size advantage is a moot point.

Westurn is right, it's all about spiking, blocking, and game strategy. The US is a world class team, Japan is not. Best…

"What do you think he was implying?"

He was implying that he knows damn well what has happened but simply doesn't want to talk about it. Typical Japanese response when faced with such a humiliating set of circumstances.

Typical Freakashow:

"They are 11-0 in games he has pitched in this year."

So how do you explain this:

Date-May 28th

Starting Pitcher-Daisuke Matsuzaka

Final Score- Seattle Mariners 4 Boston Redsox 3

Quite the mystery isn't it ?
