PLAYOFFS

It has now been about 24 hours since the start of last nights game. I must say that this had to be one of the most amazing sporting events I have ever been to! Amber and I went with Tom and his girlfriend Kozue. We knew our seats were good but we didn't realize how awesome they were until we got there and sat down. We were smack dab right in between the batting circles just barely offset closer to the visiting circle. We were close enough that the foreign English speaking player on the dragons team could hear our crap talk. Tom and I were relentless in the crap talk. Finally I think on his(Woods) second at bat he turned around to see who was talking and we waved at him so he knew where it was coming from and he smiled. The Japanese home fans do not talk trash about the visiting team like they do in America, so I think he liked it. All the Japanese fans were staring at us like we were crazy but eventually a few of the Japanese fans started asking us what to say in English to him and the proceeded to join in with the badgering. We might have started a new trend in Japanese sports! The crowd was just absolutely nuts. I was surprised that the fans go crazy while their team is at bat but is absolutely quiet with the opposing team is up to bat.
Just so you know the Tigers destroyed the Dragons last night 7-3.
The games so far:
Game 1 : Dragons 2 - Tigers 0
Game 2 : Dragons 3 - Tigers 7
Game 3 : Just started.
I am working on uploading the video to my computer and will post it within the next few hours or tomorrow, depending on how long the process takes and how involved I get watching the 3rd game..
The 3rd and final game of the series is tonight. Evidently I was informed wrong about the playoff rules. It is only in the second stage that the 1st place team gets a bonus win. The first stage is best 2 out of 3. So it is still weirdly complicated but not as bad as I had made it seem before.
