Tuffy Tired of Losing

Remember last summer? The M's dropped 99 games, chances are they failed to meet your baseball needs. This year, if the hometown 9 sink in the standings, rather than cheat on them with another MLB team, turn your eyes west, west all the way to 日本 (Japan) and Japanese Baseball aka Nippon Professional Baseball.

Worried that NPB isn't good enough? Place the Royals, Devil Rays or Rockies in Japan and they still wouldn't win half their games, plus their road schedule would be a bummer. If イチロー (Ichiro) hits .400 in MLB but didn't do it in Japan what does that say about the pitching in the US?

Over the course of the summer, we will explore the PL (Pacific League) and CL (Central League).

Until next time, enjoy this bit of drama from 東京(Tokyo)

Your point regarding the sun is interesting, though I wonder if the traditional thought of Japan being in the east comes from Europe where Japan and Asia was always thought of as being to the east since they lacked a water passage from the west. That is until Colon.
