Hooray, Tosei has eaten my life! Not that I care or anything.

The quest to get this hat done was a tad interesting, however. See, when I first attempted to initially purchase the hat I was going to use, I tried two different malls containing three different Lids stores total (living in northern New Jersey makes this incredibly possible), and none ( Read more... )

Absolutely nothing remotely interesting has happened to me lately. There is simply nothing going on in my baseball life or real life that is worthy of talking about right now.

Well, except for maybe the fact that Daisuke Matsuzaka is going to be on my TV tomorrow facing off against Scott Kazmir. I really hope my schedule works out in such a way that ( Read more... )

Apparently I feel a subliminal obligation to find a favorite team in as many baseball leagues as I can.

I'm starting to feel a slight thing for Seibu now. A few of my favorite Major Leaguers have been former Lions (notably Kazuo Matsui and Daisuke Matsuzaka), and I'm developing somewhat of an emotional attachment.

And you know what? Just like most ( Read more... )

No real baseball today, so I'll have to do with fictional baseball. Not that fictional baseball doesn't do it for me (in fact, it almost always does).

I was skimming the Japanese version of Wikipedia (the 'Yakyuu Manga' article particularly entranced me) and was reading...well, very little, to be honest, because my Japanese is far from perfect, and ( Read more... )

Yeah, Fresno State, if you'd love to keep writing the plot for Slumberwood for me, that'd be great.

When I originally mapped out Slumberwood's plot, I imagined that they'd reach the CWS (after winning their school's conference for the first time in half a century), battle their way to the finals (I am even contemplating sending them through the ( Read more... )

Yes, I know I am crazy, but this is what I do at this time of night. Really.

I returned to the convention today to get some good deals on various items, so I inevitably missed a fantastic game from the bullpen and a Youk walk-off. Ah, such is my luck.

I'm tired, so I'm allowed to post one stupid entry in which I act really lame. But I recently found this video on YouTube.

Oh, and yes, in the part when they show four players at a time, Junta is indeed laughing in both shots:

I just spent a good eleven hours of my life dressed up as a fictional pitcher. Let me just say that after several hours, the band on the wig starts to hurt. Actually, that wig in general is a pain to work with...I have decided that Sakaeguchi will be much easier the next time I go to a con. Either way, the convention was fun...and most importantly ( Read more... )

The title of this entry is, of course, public knowledge. I adore middle infielders, and I really can't explain why. Only last night did I realize how far this extends - when it comes to both real baseball and fictional baseball, I'm just drawn to them like a moth to a flame. So here's a little list of many of my favorite ballplayers just to prove ( Read more... )
