The One In Which I Appear On TV: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]
When you go to a sparsely attended game where you’re rooting against the home team, chances are you might appear on TV. 13 April NPB Yakult Swallows (2) at Hiroshima Carp (3). A close, 10th inning, walk-off win. The Carp are proving to be quite the thorn in Yakult’s side. Their record rises to 5-10-0, […]

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 […]

They are gone as of today. 6 April NPB Hiroshima Carp (3) at Yakult Swallows (2). The 7-game losing streak is snapped, bringing the Carp to 2-7-0, but still in last. Rakuten Eagles […]

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 […]
