Posted in: Japanese court convicts Australian who says she was tricked into smuggling drugs See in context
@kaimycahl, so you are saying they shouldn’t ask those questions because everyone lies? If she had answered truthfully it might have saved her a lot of trouble. I worked in the airline business for over 30 years and have heard every excuse…including hers. 99 percent of drug mules know they’re carrying something illegal, so I don’t fully believe grandma’s story.

In addition to being asked if you packed your suitcase yourself, you’ll also be asked if anyone has given you something to carry for them. So not much sympathy for grandma.

Ohtani did score the first run today after drawing a leadoff walk. And he moved Edman into scoring position, who then scored on Mookie’s single. May not be exciting but he’s still making a contribution.

Cease had just given up 2 straight hits with Ohtani up, who had previously hit the 3-run homer. It was probably a good time to bring in the left hander, and it was going to be his last inning anyway.

Posted in: Ohtani has 3 homers and becomes first 50-50 player as Dodgers clinch playoff spot See in context
With nine games remaining, 55-55 is a real possibility. Big lead for NL home runs and with today’s 10 RBI’s most likely will lead the League in that as well.
For Japanese players today passes Matsui for most season RBI’s, and only five off of Ichiro’s 56 stolen bases.
