A quick Google shows that Sponichi's keitai site is at http://spodom.jp - and I've confirmed it on my SoftBank phone.
http://yakyu.tv is another very good keitai site, and includes a lot of Shukan Baseball's articles.
If you have a plan that allows you all the packets you can use, http://www.proyakyu24.com/v/ shows all Pacific League games live (for 525 yen per month). It might come in handy during the two months of inter-league play to follow the Dragons.
The [Sports]-[Baseball] listing on my SoftBank phone is at http://ptl/common/A011001.html - but that doesn't look like a valid name (doesn't work from a PC). You can give it a try, though, as it may be special to keitai phones.
And if you're anxious to see Kawakami alongside Ramirez, head to the leaders page real quick and take a snapshot.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information, that was exactly what I was looking for.
However, it doesn't appear to work! That does not come as a surprise to me in this country (you've seen Heathrow Airport on the news the last few days?), but was certainly worth a try. Will have to make do with the PC, which should suffice in most instances anyway. If you have any other ideas, great, but I don't hold out much hope.
Listened to most of the podcast - Got really into it, thank you. Liked that I got a mention too! I never used these features of your wonderful site before because I just went to games or watched them on TV, but I can understand just how popular they must be. It's a great service.
Quick technical question, because I am not technically minded. To save the podcast and listen to it again, I'm assuming I need to upgrade my version of Quicktime, which will probably involve some cost. I have no problems doing that, just wondering if that is the course of action you'd advise?
Gonna try and watch some of the Eagles-Fighters game today/tonight/this morning.
Thanks.

Sorry that the phone didn't work out. I keep hearing about how content providers all want to move to the keitai exclusively because they have great control over who can do what with the content. They're going to have a hard time with the gPhone (Google's portable entry) which promises to be everything the current phones are not - open.
Anyway, downloading a broadcast is really quite easy. Go to the audio archives page, find the broadcast you want to listen to, right-click ([ctrl]+[click] on Macs), select "Save Link As..." and save it to your hard drive. You can then transfer the MP3 file to your portable music player of choice to listen to it at your leisure (no lock-in here).
Enjoy the games.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

My issue is this. Now I have returned to England, I have realized that I would still use this site a great deal, and I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to access it. However, I can't find it, and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with a link. I know I found it 2 or 3 years back from the i-mode menu page on my DoCoMo keitai. Clearly the network here in England will not be as helpful in that regard.
If anyone knows a link to this site (and I stress only the one designed specifically for keitai/cellphone/mobile use) or other good services, or would be prepared to spend a few minutes and a few yen finding it out for me, it really would improve my life immeasurably! Thank you in advance.
(Doubt they'll have this year's stats up yet, but it would be beautiful to see Kenshin and Ramirez tied atop of the home run listings!)
Thanks again.
