I was walking through Takadanobaba Station at about 10:30 last night when I saw a kid in an Utsumi jersey throwing a bit of a tantrum. I turned to my friend and asked, “Does that kid look sad to you?”
He said, “Yes,” I pumped my fist, smiled, and then he looked at me like I was the strangest form of dick while I double checked the score (sadly, I didn’t see the game.) I must say, if you haven’t seen a game, learning the result through the unhappiness of children is a fun way to go about things.

Woohoo, Nippon 1 !!!

This is probably the fastest English language writeup of the deciding game of the 2008 Japan Series. Great job, guys.

Now the Asia Series starts on Thursday and Seibu has to face the powerful Korean champs SK Wyverns, and Seibu’s rotation is basically non-existent at this point, so this year will probably be the toughest challenge faced by an NPB champ in the Asia Series.
