The Joy of Channelsurfing.net

Black Star Sports Network



As I sit here watching
[Nippon (Japan) Professional Baseball] NPL - Yokohama BayStars vs Yomiuri Giants 5:00AM EST 5/13 at a little after 4am Pacific Standard Time, it is clear that we are in a global age. Currently 6-6 in the 6th ending, one man at firstbase for the BayStars....Ishikawa at bat, he missed his first bunt atttempt. Ground out. Runner advances to second. #2 gets a hit and puts them ahead 7-6 with am in field single, then #25 gets single to get another run, now the score is 8-6. Next player grounds out and then commercials...but what was interesting was the MLB Today update. The update started with a 'highlight' of a ground out by outfielder Hideki Matsui's of the Yankees, then a hit by outfielder Fosume Kosuke Fukudome of the Chicago Cubs, the Mariners Ichiro's [Suzuki] (one of me and my brother's favorite players) hits and ended with fellow Mariner Kenji Johjima getting a hit.

Besides my Vin Scully-level play by play prose, what's quite interesting is the level of crowd 'animation' and celebration during the games (matchs). There is a high-degree of passion for their favorite teams. Try it one day you my like.

I mainly watch ESPN, NBA & NCAA basketball, some soccer (football), American football, tennis & Japanese baseball (NCAA baseball is available yet MLB baseball is a glaring absence!) There are other sports like badminton, billiards (aka pool) among other sports...well the Bay Stars won on a walk with the bases loaded in the 10th inning by the way...to be continued...
