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

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.
