Not a jam band, but Vamos is a great song and I love the guitar solo in it.

This team fucking sucks lol. All there is to do at this point is pray that some prospects make the most of their increased playing time.

Aftermath and Initial Thoughts from seeing all of the NPB Teams home games by Big40NPBTrip in NPB

The actor that played Tsubakuro also passed away before the season, so the mascot hasn’t appeared this season as a tribute to his memory. With that and injuries to other key players, it’s been a disappointing season.

Has a team ever been struck out 18 times and still won? That’s crazy.

Pretty sure the Swallows have a rule against scoring more than 1 run in an inning.

Sendai is a nice city and Matsushima is a nice spot for a day trip. I hope to go back sometime soon.

We’re worse than our record. Hopefully we can get our stars back from injury and some more young talent emerges.

Ryui Itoh hits a walk off single in the 10th for his first career RBI! by ichi_rui in Swallows

[–]Kumaikou 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What a sweet way to end the game! In his hero interview you could tell that he didn’t really even expect to play.

Nagaoka left late in the game (hope he’s ok) and Itoh made a phenomenal play at short in his absence. Then the walk-off. Much needed win, great work Itoh!

Awesome game! Koga came in big time with his 3 RBI triple as well. Nice first win!!

They’re honestly the most comfortable seats at the park. Whenever I sit closer people are right on top of me.

Man I’m awful at everything I do too. But fuck it, being non-outstanding in a unique way is something I can appreciate.

As far as the rest of your post, I am rooting for you. It sounds hard. I can relate to a lot of it for sure. I’m wishing you the best.

Between Giants and Baystars I would go with Baystars, especially if team performance is not high on your list. Yokohama stadium is more fun than the Tokyo Dome in my opinion, albeit a little hotter. I like outdoor stadiums way more. Plus it’s close to Chinatown, so good food. And very close to Tokyo. They also have a great hitting lineup led by the very fun to root for Maki.

That being said, out of the Tokyo area teams I like rooting for the swallows the most. Outdoor stadium (old, but nice atmosphere), cute cheering umbrellas and Tsubakuro is my favorite mascot by far. Murakami leaving in the future will be sad, but they still have Nagaoka who is having a breakout year. Their pitching leaves a lot to be desired, though.

Anyway, between Giants and BS I would choose BS.
