  • I’m With Teddy: The Weekend Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    No, I didn’t go see the Nats this weekend, but I did finally upload this picture. 14 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (8) at Hiroshima Carp (7). Knowing how badly the Eagles have been so far this season makes this worse. I want the Carp to win! MLB Cleveland Indians (1) at Baltimore Orioles (8). My […]

  • ICHIRO!: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Went to the Orioles game last night to see King Felix and Ichiro play the Orioles. It was a great game (I’ll get into that later), but we were super amused by the fact that Ichiro’s name was listed on the All-Star ballot for the Home Run Derby. Ichiro? The Great Singles Hitter (TM)? At […]

  • Exhausted: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The beach was a success, but I’m dead tired after my travels last weekend. Did I forget to mention that there was also a PERFECT GAME?! Too bad it was against the wrong team… 7 May NPB Hiroshima Carp (6) at Hanshin Tigers (10). Not the ideal start to a short series, but not terrible […]

  • Lopsided Victory: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    The Lions went and slaughtered my precious Golden Eagles, leaving them with something to think about over the next two off days. It was not a great day for my favorite baseball teams. 05 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (3) at Seibu Lions (19)! The Lions really dished out some punishment. Rakuten is still miraculously in […]

  • Interesting Trends: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Who would have expected Liván Hernández to have a sub 1.00 ERA and one of the best records in baseball at this point in the season? Why do the Marlins seem to drop the first game of every series? Will either of these trends end? I hope one definitely does! 04 May NPB Rakuten Eagles […]

  • Slow Day: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Rainout makeups, but an otherwise uneventful day for baseball. 3 May NPB Rakuten Eagles (5) at Seibu Lions (4). It brings me great joy to see my least favorite Pacific League team, the Lions, lose. Keep up the good work, Rakuten (16-19-0, 4th) Hiroshima Carp (3) at Yokohama BayStars (1). Another solid win for Hiroshima, […]

  • 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 […]

  • Slightly Political: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Here at IBNttT we do not support Orwellian laws designed to penalize native born or immigrant Latino populations. I don’t support boycotting the Diamondbacks over this, but I do support moving the All-Star game out of Arizona until this law is repealed. 29 April NPB Rakuten Eagles (0) at Softbank Hawks (4). Another series sweep, […]

  • ORIOLES WIN!: Yesterday’s Scores That Matter [WMQ]

    Normally your fourth win, twenty-four games into the season, is nothing to celebrate. When you do it against the Yankees, I think you can take a minute to be proud of notching a ‘W’. 27 April NPB Yokohama BayStars (0) at Hiroshima Carp (3). Nothing like a shutout to brighten your day. The Carp are […]

  • 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 […]
