For the record, the Boston RedSox are 13 wins and 7 losses including two 3 game winning streaks since Matsuzaka went gimpy. Safe to say the Sox are doing just fine without him !

"According to a survey report by the office submitted to the Price Stabilization Council, a 300-gram pack of spaghetti was priced at an average 188 yen at retailers in May, up 18.3% from 159 yen in January."

Not where I shop. I've always bought my 500 grams of "imported" pasta…

"They aren't meant for toddlers, so the parents would be at fault."

If you say so, but this is not a new idea, there are just "obvious" reasons companys have shied away. Let the litigation begin !

joicerojo, I agree. This sounds like an attempt to distract from more serious issues facing Japan's entertainment world. This feels like the few times when Japanese go way too far out of their way to appear to be kind. Basic "overkill". But it's usually so obvious only the completely challenged…

3-5 ? Means nothing unless they push runs over the plate ! Too bad Ichiro doesn't have the power to hit home runs. Slap hitters get stats, not wins !

"issuing inaccurate financial statements"

Didn't Horie go to jail for this ? Where's the consistency here ?

"the topic at hand was Toyota trying to be more energy efficient and self sustaining"
