oblivion 5 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I wish they would make up their minds. It's really annoying me - even more than having to watch baseball! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 One big baseball team would be nice. You can never take gappei too far. Indeed, why not put them all into a big gappei machine and mash them into one very talented ball player? It would make for some great television. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 baseball is crap! They play and train and play & train from elemantary school only to be beaten by a team ( not once but twice) from Australia! Most Australians really couldn't care less about baseball ( probably because of its origins, and we got a better game anyway!). I can't even name a professional Australian baseball team! Japan should just throw out that old geeza that seems to do as he wishes as the rest of the board are terrified of him. throw him out! Link to post Share on other sites

snobee 0 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Indo - I think you mean the Giants owner Watanabe. Well he's the Ex-Boss now - self inflicted resignation a coupla weeks ago to avoid all the infinite scandal that would have flared over the illegal under hand payouts to promising juniors. Baseball here, like most of the establishment (banks, politicians etc) has yet to go thru the come-clean process, which is why many of the new olympic successes were by athletes that have shrugged of the shackles of the N.F.T.I. (Nippon Fascist Training Inc.) Inherently however, i.m.o. baseball has got the goods as a competitor/spectator sport. Just needs a damn good strike. Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Well I'm glad they didn't strike. Link to post Share on other sites
snobee 0 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 IceE - I guess a lot of people are happy the strike didn't happen so that the season can continue smoothly. BUT, I think it's only good if some real changes begin to happen now. The current "Giants controlled" baseball situation in Japan has got to go and real reforms made. If not, then striking is justifiable and it's just too bad if the season schedule is disrupted. I think. Link to post Share on other sites
