A disappointing night from our perspective, with the only consolation being that it was a relatively quick game by Japanese standards. There was further upset in that, upon arriving home, there was no one broadcasting the footy. Shambolic.

Great weather last night too, I had to stop keeping score in the 5th due to the rain, but I still had a pretty good time.

BTW, as the token diehard Mikinori Katoh fan around here, I want to point out that he hadn't given up a run yet this year before Takaguchi's homer. I realize he probably pitched better at Jingu in college than he did last night, but still, I hold out hope that he will be a fantastic pitcher someday.

I look forward to the Yakult-Gomiuri series next week!
