The dramatic upset victory by the Yomiuri Giants

The Yomiuri Giants clinched the Central League baseball season title yesterday.
Congratulation!!

The Giants had been the second place and was 13 games behind the leading team at one point. So most people must have thought the Giants couldn't win the pennant. But somehow, I thought the Giants could make it. Somehow... Then they did!!

Some years ago, the Giants was the first place by a VERY large margin although the pennant race just begun. No one doubted the Giants' victory and people said it made the pennant race boring. But, somehow, I was worried and didn't think that large margin was not enough. Somehow... Then as I predicted, the Giants couldn't win.

Hmm... I wonder if those are a big fan's six sense.

The next is the climax series, which is entirely disapproved system, at least for me. Teams have to win the climax series to advance to the Japan series.

Go in and win, the Giants!
