Well the regular season is now over and I have to say that we are pretty disappointed with our 3rd place finish. I know we all had high expectations to win the central league this year as I’m sure you fans did also. so I’m sorry for us letting you all down but what I can say now is that we are focused on making up for it by winning the climax series and showing our true fighting spirit. But of course I should mention the giants winning the pennant. They were the strongest and most consistent team this year and earned back some respect for their performance this season. I’m sure that having a leader like Ogasawara finally brought them together and kept them focused. Congratulations!!
Well we definitely have our backs against the wall going into the 1st stage against the Chunichi dragons but we seem to have played at a much higher level this year when we are the underdog. Baseball is a strange game that way in that some years your team chemistry works best in different environments and ours this year is one of last chance heroics being needed to get the best out of us.Maybe with all the injuries we have suffered through this year, our guys are saving their energy for just the right time and the playoffs is most definitely that time so I am expecting good games from us no matter the outcomewhat an amazing job by my two bullpen mates, Fujikawa and Kubota this year. Kyuji tied the saves record and seems to strikeout every batter he faces and Kubota blew away the appearance record while staying as strong from game 1 to game 90. These are two very special pitchers. I am enjoying watching them as much as youSo now it is time for me to get back to my training. I will do my best to bring the Japan series title to the Tigers….
Till next time,
Cheers,
Jeff
