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 […]

The Scores That Matter For 30 March 2010 [WMQ]
This is a new idea I had to help me better track the records of the teams that I follow. Check it out weekdays if you care about the Marlins, Rays, Carp, Golden Eagles, Nationals, or Orioles. Since Japanese games are played 13 hours ahead and that can get pretty confusing, I’ll just post the […]

And We’re Off! [Wednesday Morning Quarterback]
It’s still just under two weeks before the MLB baseball season is set to start, but the NPB has already gone and started its season.
