I was there.

Sanada had a decent night and Yokohama couldn't quite find its stroke at the plate. But what really irked me was when Nishi struck out in the bottom of the 7th (or 8th I could be wrong) with the bases loaded. Sad really.

One word describes the current losing streak and the BayStars' woes:
    一発病 - ippatsubyo
    noun
    A medical condition whereby pitchers suffer from frequent rashes of home runs. This condition is often proceeded by walks, allowing the infectious attacker to maximize runs with little effort. Machine Gun antibodies, when effective, are only capable of minor relief to victims of ippatsubyo. As this is highly contagious within a pitching staff, the only known cure is a complete transfusion.

Touche Westbay. LOL.

I have been noticing that our guys have been getting behind batters in the counts and allowing more and more free passes. Strange.

So what kind of transfusion is needed to cure this? Pardon my ignorance here. LOL.
