saturday at erika
A quick update about yesterday; it's 7am Sunday now and I have to leave in about 10-15 minutes to go over to the junior high school for our Sports Day today. Sigh.
Anyway, yesterday I ended up skipping Soukeisen because Pau decided not to go and I really didn't want to potentially sit out in the rain again at a super-crowded game, although the Big 6 website lists the attendance as 20000, which is maybe 2/3 capacity at Jingu or a little less. As it is, Waseda won 5-1, Ohishi didn't pitch for them, and Urushibata didn't play for Keio either. So.
Pau and I met up at 3pm in Ikebukuro and went to Mint, where he bought some baseball cards and I bought a box to keep my Kensuke signed ball in. We also both bought boxes with figures in them -- I got a Fighters, he got a Tigers. (You could choose your player for around 500-800 yen on average, or just buy the box for 400 yen.) Then we went to Nippori and did karaoke for an hour, for more of the Spitz-Larc-a-thon. My Spitz is weak but my Larc is strong.
Dinner at Yakiniku Erika after that, with the intention of watching the Fighters-Tigers game there because it seemed like a perfect place. However, when we arrived, the TV was broken! Doh. Mrs. Morimoto asked which radio broadcast we'd prefer -- Iwamoto or Shirai. Haha. I went for Iwamoto. Anyway, we ordered food and opened our figurines (We both got our least preferred player out of the set -- me Nioka, him Hirano) and in the 2nd inning the TV got working and another table of baseball nerds showed up so we watched the game. The Fighters won 8-2 or something like that, because it was Darvish vs. Fukuhara, and Fukuhara managed to mess up in every possible way -- balks, walks, a run given up by hitting a batter with a pitch, a home run or two... and then errors in the field. What a day. I was happy though. We chatted with Mr. Morimoto a bit afterwards and I asked if Hichori was going to be playing against a lefty starter, but he was like "he's kind of in a slump right now, he has bad form, so he's not playing much" and I'm like "Doh!"
Went home after that. Pau is a good guy for listening to my crazy tales of junior high school.
I finished up my Sledge interview intro and posted it all. Then I crashed hard.
I really don't want to go to school though :(
