sports are more interesting than you

By now, I’m sure all you idiots are well aware that Team Japan got hosed by the umps in a game against Team USA yesterday. For those of you who missed it, the Americans claimed Tsuyoshi Nishioka tagged up too early. Replays showed otherwise. Even though preliminary TiVo research by our very own Emaciated led him to conclude, “I don’t think we can trust the replays,” there’s no doubt in my mind that Nishioka’s run was completely legit. The ump screwed up and Team Japan, of whom I am an official supporter (I bought a Team Japan Ichiro! t-shirt) ended up losing.
