Great night for Matsui. 20-11 sounds more like a ping pong match than a baseball one! What's up with that?!

This was perhaps the one major thing I didn't like about living in Japan. Even though my place was a gokiburi war zone, it didn't stop them from coming. Sticky traps were pretty effective. Gassing the apartment worked for a while, but it was unpleasant to say the least. This…

Bill Clinton is the new Jimmy Carter. Hope he succeeds his mission. What's Hilary got to say about this?

He should be a loan shark then.

I say kudos to him. We're all sick and tired of these career criminals who know they can get away with anything. Going to jail is like going on a holiday for them. Free food and shelter. I'm sure he'll do well after…
