Now Seibu, the President Lions from Taiwan, the South Korean league champ (I think it's the SK Wyverns) and an all-star team from China will play in a tournament called the Konami Cup, starting this week in Tokyo. It's a good chance for President to avenge Taiwan's loss to the Chinese at the Beijing Olympics (let's not even consider the possibility of another defeat).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-49849060465831925542008-11-10T08:06:00.000+08:002008-11-10T08:06:00.000+08:00Am I the only one who thinks "La New" is such a we...Am I the only one who thinks "La New" is such a weird name?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-33876396300661858032008-11-10T07:12:00.000+08:002008-11-10T07:12:00.000+08:00Cool!

It seems La New's first three runs came off of two Taiwanese pitchers (Lin Yi-hao and Lee Yu-hung), who play for Yomiuri's farm team in Japan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-56215483364151646832008-11-08T19:03:00.000+08:002008-11-08T19:03:00.000+08:00A fine photo to have as your 10,000th!

At the moment, the Giants are playing the Saitama Seibu Lions in the Japan Series. Yomiuri is up 3-2 in the best-of-7 series, with Game 6 scheduled for today in Tokyo Dome. I suspect the Bears were playing the Giants' minor league team last night.<BR/><BR/>Cheerbabes!
