he is hunting honeybees. i issued a strongly worded caution.


went to the game with Viv last night. M’s lose!


That’s the M’s bullpen. See the one pitcher sitting apart from the other guys? That’s Hisashi Iwakuma. He got up a couple of times to toss a ball, but was never seriously warming up. He was talking with his translator and reading or taking notes some of the time, and kind of absently holding a baseball, passing it from hand to hand.

Next game, I will make a point of getting down there with a pen and yelling my lungs out until his translator pops his head around the corner of the shelter.
