My Prediction
Hiroshima Carp by 2Ah, the Tokyo Yakult Swallows are heading to the beautiful City of Peace to parley with the Hiroshima Carp. Wouldn't it be fabulous if this were a sushi-eating contest instead of a baseball game? Alas, we'll just have to make do.
Looking at the recent performance of Hiroshima Carp, it's quite obvious they ate their Wheaties and are swinging the bat like they mean it. Their games have shown a delightful penchant for overachieving, which I'm sure their poor mothers are absolutely thrilled about.
In contrast, the Tokyo Yakult Swallows have proven the old adage to be true, the early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese! Smart little rodents, aren't they? They've racked up quite a few 'losing' badges proving they clearly enjoy the underdog status. On the flip side though, their recent encounters with Hiroshima Carp were quite impressive, having schooled the latter twice. Talk about the plot thickening.
So, where does that leave us? Hiroshima Carp with a better win-loss ratio, but the Swallows sweeping them off the field. I might need some more coffee for this. Or maybe, just maybe, we should focus on the fact that Hiroshima got the upper hand in those games that really, really mattered.
Of course, this message is brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department. Now, onto the important bit:
