I must admit I was feeling a bit chagrined last night after the Yanks lost to Tampa Bay 8-3. I’m more smug tonight after the 12-1 shellacking they dished out. Matsui had a fantasy game by hitting a home run, a single, and driving in 3 runs in his old home park in Tokyo; the fans were ecstatic, watching their hero, “Godzilla,” rise to the occasion. One thing I had forgotten from the last time I watched baseball on Korean TV is that the announcers give the ball-strike count backwards from what I’m used to in the States. Instead of saying 2 and 1 for a 2-ball, 1-strike count, they say 1 and 2. Takes a little getting used to when you first hear it. Yes, they actually say “3 and 2″ or “Oh and 1″ in English. Just about everything else is in Korean.
