http://thejaderabbit.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
In search of the cute and weird in Japan - which isn't difficult, but sure is fun! Here you'll find pics and blurbs from my adventures in the Land of the Rising Sun. Friday, August 20, 2010. It's like an upright pinball machine for gambling and amusement. The word "pachinko" is onomatopoeia for the sound of the balls hitting the pins on the playing board: "パチパチ" (pachi-pachi). It's also Japan's largest industry and an obsession for almost one third of its population. That's entirely too passive. Try ...

Baseballism: October 2012
http://baseballism.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Baseball news for fans from a dedicated baseball fan. Nothing fancy, just my take on things baseball related. Wednesday, October 17, 2012. To Trade Or Not To Trade A-Rod. ESPN reported on a rumor that New York Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman may have had possible trade talks with the Miami Marlins concerning Yankee Third baseman Alex Rodriguez. Cashman denied having any trade talks. Now would this be a good move to make? Especially if they are eating 2/3 or more of the contract. On the 162nd day of...

Baseball news for fans from a dedicated baseball fan. Nothing fancy, just my take on things baseball related. Monday, August 20, 2012. The Melky Saga Continues. This whole Melky Cabrera positive test story is getting more and more convoluted. Now reports show that a fake website was created by a consultant that works with his agents to simulate a site that Cabrera bought supplements from which caused his positive test for testosterone. What a way to nose dive a career Melky. Updated August 20, 2012.

Baseballism: Craig Biggio IS A Hall of Famer
http://baseballism.blogspot.com/2013/01/craig-biggio-is-hall-of-famer.html
Baseball news for fans from a dedicated baseball fan. Nothing fancy, just my take on things baseball related. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Craig Biggio IS A Hall of Famer. Contrary to the results of the announced elections for the 2013 Baseball Hall of Fame vote, I stand in my belief that Craig Biggio is a first ballot Hall of Famer. Before I go any further in what I believe will be a diatribe, here is the published results of the vote for the Hall:. And Palmiero (8.8%). I say you're full of it to those 3...
