Now the injury list includes: Miyamoto (3B) Aikawa (C) Ihara (OF) Keizo (SS) D'Antona (1B) Tanaka (2B) Ouch.

Shima hits left-handed and he's a more of a power hitter than a slap-hitter. But Iihara was playing him very shallow? Hello? Positioning that out of the ordinary usually comes from the bench, so I don't hold that against Iihara. But aside from that, we absolutely did not deserve to win this game. That's annoying to see. If we get beat, that's one thing, but if we throw the game away with errors, odd substitutions, and other wackiness, it's much harder to take.
