Last day before the holidays… man, I feel like a kid!
Today’s top sports stories in Japan are:
- Q-Chan aiming to go to Beijing, via Nagoya (women’s marathon)… [Daily Yomiuri] I like her chances… she’s got the goods, and really should be in the Olympic team…
- AC Milan into final against Boca (FIFA Club World Cup)… [Mainichi Shimbun] Far closer semi than I expected… a 1-0 loss for Urawa is a victory of sorts…
- Fujikawa wants to head to MLB… [Japan Times] Damn good closer - someone should pick him up & slot him into late-middle relief…
- RHer Otsuka not returning to the Texas Rangers… [Japan Times] Not to worry, with the recent kick on all-things-Japanese (at least, baseball players), he’s likely to get a job somewhere - or at the worst he comes home to Japan & plays ‘Puro Yakyu’…
- NPB Rookie of the Year gets a big raise from Rakuten… [Japan Times] Playing for the newest team in the league, a team that gets very little coverage, I didn’t get to see Tanaka play last season. Word is he’s a pretty good
hitterinfielderpitcher…
