Some random thought....

I've decided Boston might be the most moe city ever.
-First off, when written in Japanese, it is then romanized as "Basutan." "-Tan" is an ending typically used in moe girl's nicknames.
-Then they have a super moe baseball team: Their closer's name is Papelbon (like Aibon!); one of their starting pitchers, Clay Buchholz,

I can totally see your comparison of Manny and Osaka.

I think Chiyo would be a Red Sox fan, btw. Wasn't she a fan of the Giants in the anime? With both Gabe Kapler and Hideki Okajima having Giants ties, I'd assume she'd have started following the Sox. :) (Yes, I know Kapler plays for Milwaukee. I can't imagine Chiyo following the Brewers, unless she also has an inexplicable thing for large redheaded middle relievers.)

I recently brought AzuDai in for my anime club, and as I was watching it, I noticed how Manny-like Osaka was. And Paps is a lot like Tomo, and Tek like Yomi. Now I have to draw fanart like this...xD

Yeah, she's a Giants fan. The Giants are typically called the Yankees of Japan, with the Tigers being the Sox. But there definitely are more connections to the Sox than the Yankees. Also, the Tigers used to have current Yankee pitcher Kei Igawa, so that is definetly a strike against the Yanks. So she'd probably be a Sox fan in the end. (Maybe she has an inexplicable thing for vegan first basemen?)

Funny, basketball's the only sport you mentioned that I do watch, and it's mostly only during the playoff season. The Celtics are even more moe now because they had trouble with the Atlanta Hawks then Cleveland Cavaliers and had to go to Game 7 with both lower-ranking teams. When people started doubting whether they were the same number one team that rocked the NBA regular season, the Celtics won both Game 7s to move onto the Eastern Conference Finals. After the Detroit Pistons messed up their flawless post-season home record Friday, the Celtics broke their disastrous zero post-season road win streak and beat the Pistons at Detroit to take the series 2-1. So yes, moe Boston Celtics.

Moefying professional sports is amusing. A+ post. XD

Thank you! Haha, after that road victory, my first though was about moeness actually. I don't really watch much basketball, but I'm following and rooting for the Celtics during the playoffs.

It's way too amusing to try and moefy sports. I always imagine Boston being a tsundere type in general, due to the rowdy, passionate fans who really care for their players. They always seem like this type who always gets on their players cases really hard if they're not doing well (the "tsun" part), but then a story like Jon Lester's no-hitter (okay, just typing that makes me giddy) comes along and you see how much Boston loves their athletes (the "dere").

Okay, please stop me now before I go to far...xD
