Koshien and Speeding Bullet
Today I am gonna write a little about Japanese baseball. First, I wanna talk about the Hanshin Tigers. I am a big fan of the Tigers, but it is time to be honest...This season is OVER! Finished!! They have no chance, no pitching, and the team is getting older. Also, the Manager, Mr. Mayumi (Mr???), must go! It is only a matter of time before he resigns or is fired. The next Manager, I don't know...probably an in-house guy, but my vote is for Bobby Valentine!!
And about the Pacific League, before the season I predicted that the Rakuten Eagles would win...They started off the season on fire, and stayed in first place for a while...But recently, I don't know what happened, but they have slipped to 4th place...I am sweating a little, worried, but I hope that they turn things around and win one for the greatest baseball manager in Japan, Nomura.
Below are some pics from Koshien Stadium...speaking of, I haven(t been there yet this season...
On a different topic, recently a new state-of-the-art model of the Bullet Train (the Shinakansen) was unveiled. It is as fast as a speeding bullet (And Superman ; )!!!
Here's an article about it.

Tigers? Are they still playing?
I can't understand why they became so weak int his season. Almost all of regular members stay the team. The only changed position is the manager...so is the new manager, Mr.Mayumi the one to blame?
Hiroya, I know it is hard to believe, but, yes, they are still playing.
and yes, the manager must take responsibility!!
It is the Japanese way!!!
