Nichi-Bei Series Game Four

I'll give this chat software one more try. You can join the chat here through the end of the game (or until it crashes). I think I've fixed the problem, but won't know until it's tested with a "real" load.

I tried the chat at FantasyBaseballCafe.com, but there were a number of problems:

1. Flash is required. I hate Flash sites with a passion and don't generally have it installed.
2. After installing Flash, it appeared to require a Microsoft only CAB file. I run FreeBSD, and all the money in Microsoft's bank account couldn't make me use a Microsoft box.
3. The chat appears to be IRC based, according to the FAQ, yet there was no information on how to connect with standard IRC clients.

As much as I'd like to join the chat there, it just doesn't look possible at this time. Sorry Arlo-san.

2002/11/14 19:18:51 : Manager TO ALL - westbaystars
2002/11/14 19:33:06 : Manager TO ALL - Arlo
2002/11/14 19:33:16 : Arlo TO ALL - hi, westbaystars-san
2002/11/14 19:33:25 : westbaystars TO ALL - Giambi just tied the game, just clearing the tall right field wall at Sapporo Dome!
2002/11/14 19:33:42 : Arlo TO ALL - making up for his poor glove work
2002/11/14 19:34:08 : Arlo TO ALL - sorry you had trouble with the chatroom - I'll pass those points on to our webmaster
2002/11/14 19:34:15 : westbaystars TO ALL - Ah, Arlo-san. I'd bee trying for an hour at the Cafe site. Sorry it didn't work out.
2002/11/14 19:34:47 : westbaystars TO ALL - Thanks. If it is IRC based, any IRC client should work.
2002/11/14 19:36:03 : Arlo TO ALL - True. Hopefully, we'll be able to work this out.
2002/11/14 19:36:33 : westbaystars TO ALL - Oriols' Lopes comes in to pitch for the MLB.
2002/11/14 19:38:55 : westbaystars TO ALL - Lotte's Shimizu leads off the bottom of the 5th with a base hit off the first base bag.
2002/11/14 19:39:00 : Arlo TO ALL - Lopez might be less of a change of pace for the Japanese team than several other mlb hurlers
2002/11/14 19:39:53 : westbaystars TO ALL - Meaning they should be able to hit him?
2002/11/14 19:40:16 : Arlo TO ALL - Well, it looks like they've been hitting most mlb pitchers...
2002/11/14 19:41:02 : Arlo TO ALL - But yes, just as they solved Ohka fairly easily, Lopez should require less of an adjustment
2002/11/14 19:41:34 : westbaystars TO ALL - Little Matsui grounded out to second, Shimizu advancing to third.
2002/11/14 19:42:34 : westbaystars TO ALL - The Giants' Shimizu took Lopes past a diving second baseman going toward the bag to drive in a run! NPB leads 2-1.
2002/11/14 19:43:29 : westbaystars TO ALL - Nori hits the ball a long way...
2002/11/14 19:43:33 : westbaystars TO ALL - Going....
2002/11/14 19:43:36 : westbaystars TO ALL - Going...
2002/11/14 19:43:41 : westbaystars TO ALL - Gone!
2002/11/14 19:43:52 : Arlo TO ALL - gone!
2002/11/14 19:44:28 : westbaystars TO ALL - Two run home run to left-center. And at Saporo Dome, that's a long way.
2002/11/14 19:44:50 : Arlo TO ALL - Can you see the mlb scouts drooling?
2002/11/14 19:45:02 : westbaystars TO ALL - Hehehe.
2002/11/14 19:45:40 : westbaystars TO ALL - And now Lopez walks Big (Godzilla) Matsui.
2002/11/14 19:45:41 : Manager TO ALL - sagamiwara
2002/11/14 19:45:50 : Arlo TO ALL - I'm very interested in seeing how that situation turns out...
2002/11/14 19:45:58 : westbaystars TO ALL - I guess it didn't take much adjustment.
2002/11/14 19:46:02 : Arlo TO ALL - hi again, sagamiwara-san
2002/11/14 19:46:30 : sagamiwara TO ALL - hi all
2002/11/14 19:47:02 : sagamiwara TO ALL - thank you for invite arlo-san
2002/11/14 19:47:02 : westbaystars TO ALL - And Matsui steals second! That's out of character.
2002/11/14 19:47:50 : Arlo TO ALL - it was westbay-san's invite, not mine - I just happened to see it...
2002/11/14 19:48:13 : westbaystars TO ALL - I'm glad you're both back.
2002/11/14 19:48:23 : Arlo TO ALL - Do you think that steal was just for the scouts?
2002/11/14 19:48:44 : westbaystars TO ALL - Ah, Cabu grounded out. Two down.
2002/11/14 19:48:58 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Im glad many states people interested in our league
2002/11/14 19:49:13 : westbaystars TO ALL - I think the steal was because Lopez wasn't paying attention to him.
2002/11/14 19:49:29 : Arlo TO ALL - well, many is perhaps an exaggeration, unfortunately...
2002/11/14 19:49:56 : westbaystars TO ALL - It looked like he was just happy to get on base.
2002/11/14 19:50:14 : Arlo TO ALL - Frankly, I think a lot of North american fans don't care much about the Japanese league, but just about the players who
2002/11/14 19:50:19 : Arlo TO ALL - move to mlb
2002/11/14 19:50:34 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Ogasawara swing is very unique
2002/11/14 19:51:00 : Arlo TO ALL - That's changing, though, and some serious fans are starting to figure out how interesting npb as a whole can be
2002/11/14 19:51:25 : westbaystars TO ALL - Ogasawara grounded out to retire the side. But NPB now leads 4-1.
2002/11/14 19:51:51 : Arlo TO ALL - We're seeing that in fantasy baseball. At first, it was all about "How good will Godzilla be in New York?"
2002/11/14 19:52:07 : westbaystars TO ALL - I think the increased NA press (even with its mistakes) is having an effect.
2002/11/14 19:52:12 : Arlo TO ALL - But now, folks are taking an interest in the entire league.
2002/11/14 19:52:46 : Arlo TO ALL - The press is definitely a factor. There's still a long way to go, but progress is being made
2002/11/14 19:52:52 : sagamiwara TO ALL - snow in sapporo
2002/11/14 19:53:00 : westbaystars TO ALL - Wow! It's snowing outside Sapporo dome.
2002/11/14 19:53:20 : westbaystars TO ALL - Outside temperature is -4C.
2002/11/14 19:53:54 : Arlo TO ALL - Wow! Nice surroundings for a ballgame.
2002/11/14 19:54:40 : westbaystars TO ALL - Chavez leads off the 6th with a high bounding base hit over the third baseman.
2002/11/14 19:56:46 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Japanese superstar have own style Nomo Ichiro Nakamura Kazuo Ogasawara.
2002/11/14 19:57:47 : sagamiwara TO ALL - No one can copy them
2002/11/14 19:57:59 : westbaystars TO ALL - Next batter (Biljinski?) flies out to left.
2002/11/14 19:58:46 : westbaystars TO ALL - Each of their forms? Yes, they're all unique.
2002/11/14 20:00:07 : Arlo TO ALL - Pierzynski - catcher for the Twins.
2002/11/14 20:00:12 : westbaystars TO ALL - Eckstien draws a walk to put runners at first and second with Ichiro coming to bat.
2002/11/14 20:01:07 : westbaystars TO ALL - And he rips Chang's first pitch up the middle. But Chavez doesn't challenge Matsui and holds at third. Bases loaded.
2002/11/14 20:02:00 : westbaystars TO ALL - I need to find a list of the MLB players. They're in a post here somewhere...
2002/11/14 20:02:32 : Arlo TO ALL - http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/events/japan_series/mlb_japan_series_history.jsp?story=roster_us
2002/11/14 20:02:45 : westbaystars TO ALL - Next batter (a Met) hits an infield fly to short. Two down.
2002/11/14 20:03:00 : westbaystars TO ALL - Ah thanks. That was quick.
2002/11/14 20:03:01 : Arlo TO ALL - no stats, no if positions, but the list is complete
2002/11/14 20:03:10 : Arlo TO ALL - no problem
2002/11/14 20:03:32 : Arlo TO ALL - Roberto Alomar is the only Met
2002/11/14 20:05:15 : Arlo TO ALL - He doesn't seem to have been much of a factor so far
2002/11/14 20:05:32 : westbaystars TO ALL - The Yanks' Williams worked the count full and watched Chang's 100th pitch of the night go by for an /oshidashi/ walk.
2002/11/14 20:06:07 : westbaystars TO ALL - That brings up Bonds with the bases loaded. And Chang is coming off the mound.
2002/11/14 20:06:56 : westbaystars TO ALL - The announcer thinks it's because of the "pressure of Bonds." But I think he had a pitch count agreement.
2002/11/14 20:07:06 : Arlo TO ALL - Too bad - that would have been an interesting confrontation.
2002/11/14 20:07:11 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Oh well todays Chang is not best but good
2002/11/14 20:08:13 : westbaystars TO ALL - The only real jam Chang was in before this inning was the first.
2002/11/14 20:09:34 : westbaystars TO ALL - Now Yakult's Ishii (not the one who went to LA) will face Bonds.
2002/11/14 20:10:30 : westbaystars TO ALL - And Bonds got all of it!
2002/11/14 20:10:50 : westbaystars TO ALL - HUGE GYAKUTEN GRAND SLAM HOME RUN
2002/11/14 20:10:50 : sagamiwara TO ALL - oh no Chang become lose pitcher
2002/11/14 20:11:03 : westbaystars TO ALL - MLB is now up 6-4.
2002/11/14 20:11:22 : Arlo TO ALL - Wow. The way Bonds is playing is unreal...
2002/11/14 20:12:18 : westbaystars TO ALL - Giambi followed with a groun out to short, but the damage was done. Bonds wa sugosugiru.
2002/11/14 20:15:33 : westbaystars TO ALL - The camera was watching the fans passing the grand slam ball around the center field stands, taking pictures of it.
2002/11/14 20:15:56 : Manager TO ALL - jjr
2002/11/14 20:16:01 : westbaystars TO ALL - Kokubo flies out for out number one.
2002/11/14 20:16:20 : Arlo TO ALL - Really? That's something you wouldn't see in the US
2002/11/14 20:17:10 : westbaystars TO ALL - Bonds says that if he can hit a home run in each stadium that he'll be happy.
2002/11/14 20:17:46 : jjr TO ALL - wow, came just on time to see bonds hit the gyakuten HR, its becoming a series now.
2002/11/14 20:18:41 : westbaystars TO ALL - While at the Bonds' interview, Seibu's Wada walked, then Lotte's Shimizu base hit him to third.
2002/11/14 20:19:30 : westbaystars TO ALL - And a past ball to Little Matsui that goes a long way with away from the plate allows Wada to make this a one run game!
2002/11/14 20:19:55 : westbaystars TO ALL - Sapporo Dome has a LOT of foul territory behind the plate.
2002/11/14 20:20:57 : westbaystars TO ALL - You're in Japan, then, jjr? Or here for the play by play?
2002/11/14 20:22:17 : westbaystars TO ALL - Aw, Kazuo hits a short line drive right at the second baseman.
2002/11/14 20:23:09 : jjr TO ALL - I'm in san francisco, here for the play by play. thanks for providing this westbaysan.
2002/11/14 20:24:17 : westbaystars TO ALL - Well, then. Bonds must really be making you proud, huh?
2002/11/14 20:25:06 : westbaystars TO ALL - The Giants' Shimizu hits a short hopper to second, the throw to first is in time for out number three.
2002/11/14 20:26:25 : westbaystars TO ALL - At the end of six the score is now MLB 6-5 NPB
2002/11/14 20:27:03 : jjr TO ALL - I guess so. He is the Home town hero, but I 'm glad to see the NPB stars doing so well.
2002/11/14 20:27:39 : jjr TO ALL - NBP guys are showing the West that Japan can play ball w/ the big boys. ha!
2002/11/14 20:29:36 : westbaystars TO ALL - A Phillie grounds out to start the 7th. Can you tell I don't really know the MLB players?
2002/11/14 20:29:47 : Arlo TO ALL -
2002/11/14 20:30:19 : jjr TO ALL - Pat Burell? My guess
2002/11/14 20:30:34 : jjr TO ALL - or Jimmy Rollins
2002/11/14 20:30:48 : westbaystars TO ALL - Chavez struck out swinging at a ball outside in the dirt.
2002/11/14 20:30:52 : Arlo TO ALL - Or Jimmy Rollins
2002/11/14 20:31:03 : westbaystars TO ALL - He was a left handed batter, I think.
2002/11/14 20:31:30 : Arlo TO ALL - Quick question, if I may: has the subject of steroid use come up in Japan at all?
2002/11/14 20:32:17 : westbaystars TO ALL - Pierzynski (got it right this time) grounded out to Cabrera at first to end the inning.
2002/11/14 20:32:33 : westbaystars TO ALL - Actually, no.
2002/11/14 20:33:31 : westbaystars TO ALL - The only time I'd read about it in the Japanese press was when that Major Leaguer "exposed" himself and others.
2002/11/14 20:33:36 : Arlo TO ALL - Interesting. Is that because the press is more restrained, or do you think it's simply not a factor?
2002/11/14 20:34:11 : jjr TO ALL - Perhaps there is no reason for steroids to be in the news over there....who could possibly use it? Kiyohara?
2002/11/14 20:34:12 : westbaystars TO ALL - Was it McGuire? I don't even remember who it was, it was such a non-topic.
2002/11/14 20:35:32 : Arlo TO ALL - Ken Caminiti, who won the mvp while using steroids
2002/11/14 20:35:34 : jjr TO ALL - Only in america, we have these topics! Next big thing might be "the gay baseball player"!
2002/11/14 20:35:36 : westbaystars TO ALL - It was discussed a bit on this thread: http://www.japanesebaseball.com/forum/thread.jsp?forum=33&thread=808
2002/11/14 20:36:34 : westbaystars TO ALL - Nakamura watches strike three for the first out.
2002/11/14 20:36:56 : Arlo TO ALL - ah - thank you.
2002/11/14 20:37:23 : Arlo TO ALL - Actually, the "gay baseball player" was, unfortunately, already an issue,
2002/11/14 20:37:50 : Arlo TO ALL - but I think that's on an entirely different level than the steroid/stimulant/whatever discussion
2002/11/14 20:38:19 : westbaystars TO ALL - Big Matsui get the fans excited, but it only goes to the warning track. Two down.
2002/11/14 20:38:34 : jjr TO ALL - shoot!
2002/11/14 20:39:09 : westbaystars TO ALL - Cabrera's trying to tie this game with his first pitch. But whiffs.
2002/11/14 20:39:09 : jjr TO ALL - Yes, it is different. But they never found who it was...
2002/11/14 20:41:30 : westbaystars TO ALL - Cabrera hit a blooper into shallow center for a base hit.
2002/11/14 20:41:50 : westbaystars TO ALL - Yokohama's T. Ishii comes in to pinch run.
2002/11/14 20:42:45 : jjr TO ALL - westbaystars, who is pitching for MLB now?
2002/11/14 20:43:10 : westbaystars TO ALL - Angels' Scott Schoeneweis comes in to pitch.
2002/11/14 20:43:34 : westbaystars TO ALL - It has been Lopez since the 5th or 6th.
2002/11/14 20:44:54 : westbaystars TO ALL - Padres' Lawrence started.
2002/11/14 20:45:57 : westbaystars TO ALL - That brings up pinch hitter Imaoka (Hanshin).
2002/11/14 20:46:35 : westbaystars TO ALL - And Ishii, after a throw over to first, swipes second.
2002/11/14 20:46:44 : westbaystars TO ALL - Head sliding.
2002/11/14 20:48:16 : westbaystars TO ALL - Oooh. And with Ishii swiping third, the battery thought they had strike three on Imaoka.
2002/11/14 20:48:26 : westbaystars TO ALL - To be honest, I thought so, too.
2002/11/14 20:48:53 : westbaystars TO ALL - But it didn't matter as Imaoka lined the next pitch to third to end the inning.
2002/11/14 20:51:27 : jjr TO ALL - Its really a bummer that they're not televising this over here.
2002/11/14 20:51:59 : sagamiwara TO ALL - our pitcher Mori in
2002/11/14 20:51:59 : jjr TO ALL - I am having a friend in Japan video tape the entire series for me.
2002/11/14 20:52:16 : westbaystars TO ALL - Have you written ESPN requesting it?
2002/11/14 20:53:02 : jjr TO ALL - Yes, as you advised, I emailed them, requesting it to be shown.
2002/11/14 20:53:40 : jjr TO ALL - My email was not enough.
2002/11/14 20:53:52 : westbaystars TO ALL - Good job. Now we just need to get a few hundres more people to.
2002/11/14 20:54:33 : jjr TO ALL - Yes, we can start now! And they will show it in '04!
2002/11/14 20:54:37 : westbaystars TO ALL - Before one could blink, there are two outs in the MLB side of the 8th.
2002/11/14 20:55:15 : westbaystars TO ALL - And the next batter watched strike three down the middle! Nice job Mori.
2002/11/14 20:55:58 : westbaystars TO ALL - If you want to change the world, you've got to let your voice be heard.
2002/11/14 20:56:38 : westbaystars TO ALL - One e-mail become two, becomes four, ... At some point they'll start to notice.
2002/11/14 20:56:52 : jjr TO ALL - I know that all too well. I was a part time missionary in tokyo at one time. haha!
2002/11/14 20:58:06 : Arlo TO ALL - I think it'll happen at some point. 2004 may be a bit early, but mlb.com's broadcast is a nice first step.
2002/11/14 20:58:27 : westbaystars TO ALL - Well, then, you can probably suggest some techniques that might expediate it. Like the NPB All Star games next season?
2002/11/14 20:58:52 : westbaystars TO ALL - Kokubo got out. Sorry, I missed it.
2002/11/14 21:01:19 : westbaystars TO ALL - Wada grounds our right back at Schoeneweis for the second out.
2002/11/14 21:02:05 : westbaystars TO ALL - And Lotte's Shimizu get his third hit of the night. I know he's scored on two of those.
2002/11/14 21:02:28 : westbaystars TO ALL - This is a good sign.
2002/11/14 21:03:07 : jjr TO ALL - I have a feeling if they don't score here. MLB wins tonight. As Gagne may come in the 9th to close it out.
2002/11/14 21:04:38 : westbaystars TO ALL - Little Matsui hits a short hop gounder to third that isn't played well. Matsui has no problem reaching first before ...
2002/11/14 21:04:55 : westbaystars TO ALL - ... the MLB third baseman gets a handle on the ball.
2002/11/14 21:05:20 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Gagne in
2002/11/14 21:05:30 : westbaystars TO ALL - Shimizu comes out for a pinch hitter at second. And the Giants' Shimizu will be pinch hit for.
2002/11/14 21:05:59 : westbaystars TO ALL - Actually, Gagne is coming in now.
2002/11/14 21:06:16 : westbaystars TO ALL - Good call jjr-san.
2002/11/14 21:06:55 : westbaystars TO ALL - Beat LA. Beat LA. Beat LA. (Ah, the memories of Candlestick.)
2002/11/14 21:07:26 : westbaystars TO ALL - Orix' Tani is the pinch hitter.
2002/11/14 21:07:44 : jjr TO ALL - haha! gagne, oh no! close your eyes.
2002/11/14 21:08:04 : jjr TO ALL - Big Gagne vs. Little Tani
2002/11/14 21:08:18 : westbaystars TO ALL - Yakult's Iwamura is the pinch runner on second.
2002/11/14 21:09:00 : westbaystars TO ALL - He's having a hard time throwing strikes. 1 strike, 3 balls. And the ump does him a favor to make the count full.
2002/11/14 21:09:26 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Gagne VS Nakamura
2002/11/14 21:09:38 : westbaystars TO ALL - Up high, ball four. 150kph is more impressive when they're strikes.
2002/11/14 21:09:59 : westbaystars TO ALL - That loads the bases for "Full Swing" Nakamura.
2002/11/14 21:10:18 : sagamiwara TO ALL - Gagne win
2002/11/14 21:10:37 : westbaystars TO ALL - Ahhhh. He grounds the first pitch to short, who tosses to second, and the inning is over.
2002/11/14 21:10:46 : Arlo TO ALL - Too bad...
2002/11/14 21:11:03 : westbaystars TO ALL - This is an exciting game, though.
2002/11/14 21:11:07 : jjr TO ALL - shoot!
2002/11/14 21:11:26 : jjr TO ALL - this chat is exciting...
2002/11/14 21:11:42 : Arlo TO ALL - Yes, might be the best game yet!
2002/11/14 21:11:46 : jjr TO ALL - more than how i met an old girlfriend....
2002/11/14 21:14:03 : westbaystars TO ALL - Lotte's ace closer Kobayashi is on the mound for NPB.
2002/11/14 21:14:40 : westbaystars TO ALL - And he gives up a base hit to start the 9th, with Bonds coming up to a BIG cheer from the crowd.
2002/11/14 21:15:45 : westbaystars TO ALL - I think that Bonds may out do Ichiro in popularity of MLB players.
2002/11/14 21:16:09 : westbaystars TO ALL - And he hits a lo---ng foul ball that gets the fans excited.
2002/11/14 21:17:22 : westbaystars TO ALL - Full count.....

2002/11/14 21:27:40 : westbaystars TO ALL - Fukudome lifts the ball to right center and shallow. Williams makes a great sliding catch for the out!

2002/11/14 21:32:24 : Manager TO ALL - 1908
2002/11/14 21:33:17 : westbaystars TO ALL - MVP of the series is right. Even if they lose. I don't have the history, but it's a good chance that it'd be a first.

2002/11/14 21:33:43 : jjr TO ALL - If not Bonds should be the first. A homer in every game. Amazing!

2002/11/14 21:36:14 : westbaystars TO ALL - My pleasure. It's been nice chatting betwen the plays. Much better than just writing up the play by play without ...
2002/11/14 21:36:30 : westbaystars TO ALL - ... knowing if anyone was there, as I'd done in the past.
2002/11/14 21:37:03 : westbaystars TO ALL - Nakamura got the Fighting Spirit Award for NPB.

I see that I mis-spelled Derrek Lee's first name a few times. Sorry about that.
