[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“Everyone loves a walk-off win. Go Rays!”] [/caption] I think the date in my Scores That Matter titles are getting confusing now that they’re applying to the day before’s games. They are gone as of today. 6 April NPB Hiroshima Carp (3) at Yakult Swallows (2). The 7-game losing streak is snapped, bringing the Carp to 2-7-0, but still in last. Rakuten Eagles (3) at Nippon-Ham Fighters (1). Nippon-Ham is having a really tough time. Not what you’d expect from last year’s Pacific League Champions. The Eagles are 4-8-0 and are still in fifth. ...

Since we had an MLB-only post last week, we’ll start with the NPB. [caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“300” caption=“Sorry Min”] [/caption] What an unfortunate week it’s been for me to root for the Carp and the Eagles. Both teams put together three wins over the last week, which is pretty shameful. ...

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“I’m trying to watch the game here!”] [/caption] Fellow Sports Fans, We need to have a chat. There are unspoken rules of etiquette at live sporting events. We all spent good money to buy our seats and watch the action. Everyone wants to see the big plays as they happen. It’s why we paid to be here! So then why did I have my view obstructed for so many of the at bats yesterday? You want to get a soda or you need to go to the bathroom. That’s fine and good, but you shouldn’t be getting up to do it in the middle of an at bat! The time for walking is in between batters if you’re going to move quickly and you’re relatively near the concourse. It’s between innings otherwise. ...

The Carp fall to 1-6-0 and are last in the Central League. Softbank Hawks (10) at Rakuten Golden Eagles (6). The Eagles take a hit to 3-7-0 and are in fifth place in the Pacific League. 4 April NPB Yomiuri Giants (10) at Hiroshima Carp (3). The Carp fall to 1-7-0 and look awful in last in the Central League. Softbank Hawks (3) at Rakuten Golden Eagles (2). The Eagles fall to 3-8-0 and are still in fifth place in the Pacific League. ...

A fun video containing a bunch of great TV theme songs.

Ridiculous, but I laughed.

I have really high hopes for this movie. Can’t wait for it to come out.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor. It’s video game related, so it belongs on Friday. Enjoy.

[caption id="" align=“aligncenter” width=“500” caption=“Rakuten gets the nod for today’s picture since the Carp blew their lead on the Giants.”][/caption] 2 April NPB Yomiuri Giants (5) at Hiroshima Carp (4). The Carp fall to 1-5-0 in last in the Central League. Softbank Hawks (6) at Rakuten Golden Eagles (8). The Eagles are now 3-6-0 and in fifth place in the Pacific League. When I woke up this morning, the Carp were actually up on the Giants and primed to win. It all fell apart by the time I got to work. Hiroshima couldn’t mound a counter-offensive and dropped another game at home. ...
