I miss baseball. This time of the year is the hardest. I tweeted about Eri Yoshida, first female to pitch in Arizona Winter League, and Jeremy Lin, Harvard basketball player who could be first Asian American draft pick in NBA history. HIsanori Takahashi still don’t have team yet.
Japan’s 18-year-old knuckleball princess, Eri Yoshida, is participating in instructional Arizona Winter League. And now I read that she is named a starter for the Opening Day game. Yoshida to Start Friday The Arizona Winter League (AWL) announced Japanese RHP Eri Yoshida, the 18-year old female knuckleball phenom from Japan, will start on Opening Night [...]
I’ve been using Google Reader to track my news and using Google App’s calender, which sync to my iPhone. Just found out using following user scripts, I can make them look nice too. Very cool. Helvetireader for Reader Helvetical for Calender Very nice. Update: I guess Google released a redesign of Google Reader, causing “Mark [...]
I saw a very good movie, an academy award winning Japanese film (2009 Best Foreign Language Film of the Year), Departures, or Okuribito as it is called in Japan. It is very good, I highly recommend it. First, it would be amiss to not mention the main character’s name is Daigo. I used to tell [...]

This week’s twitter digest include Daisuke Matsuzaka groin injury (which I translated “inner thigh injury), Okajima’s 1 year deal and others.
Little disappointed in the “Catch the Bus” iPhone application. I paid $0.99 thinking it will at least provide me with MBTA Bus schedule, but it only supports 5 lines (as of today, Jan. 16., 2010). Bus lines 39, 111, 114, 116, and 117. It doesn’t say that on the application page when you buy it. [...]
Blog called Mets by the numbers had a kind of interesting post about significance of uniform numbers in Japanese culture: Why Igarashi Was Issued No. 18, following the news that Mets’ new reliever, Ryota Igarashi, picked the uniform number of 18 this year. Of course, our man Daisuke Matsuzaka wears number 18 for the Boston [...]
Whoa. I thought, by translating Daisuke Matsuzaka interview on the Magazine Friday, I was passing on a good news (Matsuzaka admits his wrong doing last year and will come back in 2010 with something to prove). But it turns out that it was first time the club lerned about the injury (yikes), and he may [...]
