fuck the giants

[dr4b]

Seriously, I really didn't need my last Fighters game of the year to be like that.

I could have dealt with us losing if we had actually been losing all along, or if it was a blowout, or something like that.

But to be up 1-0 for the entire game, then to have the Giants tie it 1-1 in the bottom of the 8th, then to have Shinji put us up 2-1 on a homerun and then to have those fuckers hit TWO home runs in the bottom of the 9th to win the game 3-2 on a walkoff... that was just TERRIBLE.

Went out to an izakaya after that with a few other Fighters fans though not to drink... mostly just so I wouldn't head home alone immediately after that devastating letdown.

Feeling ridiculously grumpy.

I know I need to write updates about other stuff this week. Been too busy going to Japan Series games and blogging about them. Fuck.

Also I have a sore throat. Wonder if I am getting sick of some variety of stuff going around. There was no way I was going to miss today's game though. I was even in the second row of the Fighters outfield cheering section. Man.

Oh, the Series isn't over but the Giants are now up 3 games to 2, and the last game or two will be in Sapporo, so the Series is over for us in Kanto in a way.

I had punched off the internet before going home with the Fighters still up 1-0. When I got home, no one in the house had said a thing about it, so I assumed the Fighters had held them off. An hour later, I turned on the news...

What the holy fuck?!

Oh, and right after that, I had to watch wall-to-wall Yankees coverage.

Last night was pretty much all-around baseball suckage. Although my feelings about Matsui getting the World Series MVP are mixed.

I just barely care about the World Series at all, which may be odd given that my hometown team was in it. I watched a few of the games, but...

Seriously, fuck the Giants. The only funny part of yesterday was going around wearing my "俺はジャイアンツが大っ嫌いだぁ！" t-shirt and making people laugh, because it's a Yakult shirt and a lot of those guys hadn't seen it before.

Also what the bloody fuck is going on with Chunichi, I heard they are giving Morino the uniform number 3 next year?

Yes. I heard that. I don't know what the hell they're thinking, but I indeed heard that.

I think it's a slap in the face to Tatsunami's legacy and to all his fans, including me.

I am slightly surprised that Morino actually accepted it. If I were him I'd be like "WTF do you think you're doing?"

And Tatsunami will still be a coach with the team, so WTF?

I was pretty pissed when the Fighters gave away Yukio Tanaka's #6 so soon too.

Yakult might be fuckups in so many ways but at least they have kept #27 empty for the last year or two since Furuta left.
