"I'm sure the dissers are eating their words since Sox starters have lost the past 4 games."

And with folks like Okajima giving up a grand slam to tag a teammate with a loss, well looks like the Nipponjin could be in more hot water !

Sorry, I'm not a…

Okajima gives up the grand slam but Hansen gets tagged with the loss ! Way to nut up for a teammate Oki !

"Matsui homers but Yankees fall to Rays"

Reminds me of all those Japanese Olympic moments as the local newscasters play the highlight reel again and again... of the Japanese guy finishing in the middle of the pack. You just kinda shake your head and ask, "is that really news ?"

"So why the misinformation by JT ? Hell they even went as far as to delete the story about Matsuzaka's 5 foot pitch ! Every other news outlet didn't ! Simple poor reporting, or slanted editing ? You decide !"

Interesting comment. Doesn't actually mesh with the article in todays "Features" section titled "Todays kids can't handle movie subtitles". Just a tidbit...

What's this ? More issues with Japan's poorly designed escalators ? Seems to me I was squaking about this just a few weeks ago:

"Try Kuai Aina"

I have, in Ikkspiari next to Disneyland ! Absolute krap ! The buns were hard, which is fine if we're talkin about the waitress... but we're not ! Anyway, the meat was flavorless, the seating impolite (I had to show a receipt to be seated), and the…
