Swept!: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Q: When is it ok to get swept by the Red Sox? A: NEVER! 27 May NPB Chiba Lotte Marines (9) at Hiroshima Carp (1). When you give up four home runs in one game, it takes some mighty fine offense to catch up. Hiroshima’s offense is so streaky, this will never happen when they […]

At Least We Split: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Hiroshima takes an ugly loss from the first place Lions, but at least they won the day before. 25 May NPB Saitama Seibu Lions (10) at Hiroshima Carp (7). Takeya Nakamura blew this game open in the third with a grand slam. Hiroshima desperately tried to recover in the 8th with a five-run rally partially […]

Light Schedule: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
The Rays were the only MLB team I follow with a game yesterday, which they promptly went ahead and blew. 24 May NPB Saitama Seibu Lions (0) at Hiroshima Carp (3). Eric Stults is really starting to bring it all together. His second win comes against a tough first place Seibu team. Hiroshima’s record improves […]

Frustration: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
My PS3 decided to stop reading discs correctly for the second time in its lifespan, temporarily halting my video game NPB season with the Carp just about to widen the gap between third and fourth by beating the Swallows. Hopefully I get the system back before next week, but it’s leaving me at a loss […]

Swept by the Giants: The Weekend Scores That Matter [WMQ]
When you have a series against the Giants (and you’re the Hiroshima Carp), things can get ugly. PYS 2010 has taught me that as well, where my version of the Hiroshima Carp are barely a fourth place team. 23 April NPB Hiroshima Carp (4) at Yomiuri Giants (10). The Giants offense is potent, to say […]

“I’m Not Even Allowed in Mexico”: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
Funny commercials aside, we’ve got some history today as the Rays swept the Red Sox on Patriots Day for the second time in the franchise’s history (first in a four-game series). Go Rays! Welcome to first place this year. 19 April NPB Off-day. MLB Tampa Bay Rays (8) at Boston Red Sox (2). Keep on […]

A Cold Night in Philadelphia: The Weekend’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
I spent a far-too-cold night at Citizens Bank Park freezing my butt off, but enjoying a Marlins victory over Fish-killer Jamie Moyer. A review of the park should be hitting soon, but I’ve got to finish writing it first. 16 April NPB Chunichi Dragons (3) at Hiroshima Carp (4). If I’m not mistaken, this one […]

First MLB Weekend Complete: Scores That Matter [WMQ]
9 April NPB Hiroshima Carp (0) at Yokohama Baystars (5). Not the outcome I would have expected, but Yokohama is deceptively strong at times (and Hiroshima is pretty weak this year). Orix Buffaloes (8) at Rakuten Eagles (3). Orix made some serious upgrades in the off-season, but I wonder if they can keep this pace […]

The MLB and NPB Are Both In Season! [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
Words cannot describe how great it is to FINALLY have the 2010 season underway for both leagues! Since we had an MLB-only post last week, we’ll start with the NPB. What an unfortunate week it’s been for me to root for the Carp and the Eagles. Both teams put together three wins over the last […]

Tickets On Your Phone?! [WMQ]
This morning I went and bought a ticket to watch the Nationals play the Red Sox in an exhibition and noticed a pretty neat feature: Mobile Phone Tickets. The gist is that you buy your ticket, get a text, and that text can be scanned for your entrance to the ballpark. Absolutely brilliant, but then […]
