Japanese team could replace White Sox in TEP
A Japanese team might replace the Chicago White Sox at Tucson Electric Park, Pima County Sports and Tourism Authority officials said earlier today.
The county has received a proposal from Massachusetts-based The Baseline Group to fill the White Sox spring training facility with a professional Japanese team. The unnamed squad would play 13 or 15 Cactus League games, perhaps as early as 2010.
"They would play a schedule just like any other Cactus League team," said Tom

speaking of Japan
According to Kyodo News, the Chiba Lotte Marines made a three-year, 600 million yen (about $6.45MM) offer to free agent second baseman Tadahito Iguchi. It’s hard to imagine he’d pass on that for a minor league deal worth less than a million bucks here in the States.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
here's gooch
“I feel like there are a lot of expectations of me. I feel gratitude that I can receive this offer even though I was injured last year. I feel Lotte’s sincerity,” Iguchi said. "I want to play for a club where I feel needed. I haven’t decided yet, but I would like to decide as soon as possible.

So I've been told. My childhood memories are for naught in the face
of statistics. That’s ok, I’ll be forgetting them soon enough…
Say! Did you ever hear about that diving, prone-throwing play by Tadahito? Pull up a chair…

My friends and I are setting up a trip to Arizona for ST
And when I looked at the Cubs ST schedule, I think I saw that they are playing a WBC team.
LOL. You are precious, larry.
Don’t ever change. I mean it. I will hunt you down.
I would rather douse a newspaper in gasoline, wrap it around my penis and light it on fire then relive that experience

Larry,
A most humble query…
Does Hoytsstash have permission to use that as my new signature ?
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into 9 innings.
