I saw the clip. She did a pretty good job. She's tiny but she can pitch.

Posted in: Ichiro won't talk about jealous teammates, divisive clubhouse See in context
to quote another JT poster from a previous article
Ichiro is just like Vince Carter in the NBA. An incredibly gifted athlete who will never lead a team anywhere, because he's just too selfish. True stars make those around them better, will carry a team on their backs when necessary, and on some nights win games that they shouldn't through sheer force of will. These two clowns are obsessed with their own stats and fat contracts.
not to mention that on road trips Ichiro stays in a separate hotel than the team does. you know who else was pined for doing this.. A-Rod.

And sure Japan has won the last two WBCs but as history has shown being the team of the birth place of the sport doesn't guarantee the win.

Japan is a good example of how a few players can make a difference. Their Olympic squad was basically the same group minus Ichiro, Daisuke, Iwanori and Iwakuma to name a few. In the Olympics they failed to even make the medal rounds but with better pitching with the addition of Iwakuma and Matsuzaka their pitching was basically lights out. And with Ichiro in their Iwanori in their line up them that much more a formidable team.

I'm for a NPB vs MLB champions game. Have it here in Japan because of the market here. This would replace the NPB vs MlB allstar game they had here a few years ago which they stopped now. And it would replace the first few games of the season the MLB plays in Japan..

Darvish almost had another shut out going... but gave up 2 runs in the 7th. With all the runners on base in the 7th he did well to limit the runs to 2.

I like the lay-out but it seems similar to Mainichi Daily News' new site. I was also hoping you would add an 'edit' and or 'preview' option for commenting. But overall it's not bad and looks more up to date.
