Naturally, they still lost.

At some point I'm going to listen to the radio feed and and hear how well (or not) Santo pronounced his name.

Ok...how do you pronounce this guy's name anyway?

Looks like its Fuck-u-do-me or Fuck-u-dome or is it Fu-ku-do-me?

Does it bother anybody else that in the six fucking years since signing Taguchi that the Cardinals have not looked at the Asian talent pool again?

Off the top of my head, only Ichiro and perhaps Hideki Matsui (he plays anywhere but NYC, he'd be in the next paragraph) has been a bona fide star...

Daisuke Matsuzaka and Takashi Saito, while wildly talented, have only pitched one year and Kaz Matsui, minus last year, has been a borderline bust...

If the Japanese players were flooding the market with success stories left and right, I'd agree with ya...

We can only go on their word that they'll being looking at the Pacfic Room harder....

And then there's the matter of posting fees and the system...

this is awesome...a 3 run jack to tie the game...giving Cub fans hope that this is their year...then Howry spits the bit in the 10th.

Classic...

And..the Cubs unveiled their Ernie Banks statue today...

Okajma, Otsuka, Nomo, Kojihma, Iguchi, Sasaki. I'd argue that all of these players have been sucsesfull. Plus you havn't seen anything yet, Yu Darvish is freakishly good Doc Goodeneque without the problems presumably.

Nothing with the impact that Ichiro has had and that's my point...all those guys you've mentioned have had moderate success or extremely short success thus far...and then there's the posting fees for the highly talented ones, which scares off most teams...

And it's Johjima
