[more notes!]
I'm sitting next to a middle-aged guy from Ireland. He's been to more US ballparks than I have.
There are two guys next to him, from LA. You can tell all the gaijin got our tickets from the same place...
middle-aged guy is as POd as I am about this stupid mesh fence
he's off to find more photo ops...I'll do the same later
the gate guy is wearing a batting helmet. is the fence not enough protection?
the crowd roar here is unlike anything I've heard before- louder than a closed-roof Minute Maid during the playoffs
this is a more 'baseball' oriented dome than Sapporo's is
the pitcher (#21) has a good fastie
are all the vendors girls?
Eye of the Tiger! (natch)
Dragons- 1-run double by Lee in the 5th
they like the opening riffs of "Hollaback Girl" and "Lose My Breath." but apparently not the rest of the songs.
bottom 7th- no outs, 2 men on- sac bunt (I called it)
then 2 runs score- yay
Chunichi scores top of 8th, puts them ahead...fans go NUTS and start running around clapping the stick things with neighbors (and this is NOT in the outfield crazies section, either)
wow, Chunichi fans are intense
Dragons win
