Watching the Red Sox games in Japan is making me crazy!!! I think/know NHK doesn’t think there are a lot of Red Sox fans (and they are kinda right) so they think they can do some crazy things with the game. Let me just start off saying they don’t do these things with yankee games; that just makes me mad! First, game one; it was aired at 11:30am, about 2 hours after it finished in Boston. So I knew the score before hand which took all the fun out it, so I turned it off.
Second, they aired game 2 live because DiceK was pitching, which is okay, I get that, he’s a big thing over here. Well, the game started off live, and then at 11:45am they stopped showing the game to show 30min of news. That’s okay, I had some lunch. So then at 12:15 the game started up again,,,, and STOPPED at one o’clock!!! So then I got mad, and looked in the newspaper to see when it was going to start again,,,, at 2:30! I took a nap and calmed down. At 2:30pm I turned on the TV to find they started the game from the beginning!!! I didn’t want to watch the same thing over again, so I flipped through the stations on the satellite, every once and a while checking back on the progress of the game. Finally it got to a point where I haven’t seen yet,,, only to find out that they skipped the bottom of the 7th and 8th innings! Nothing happened then, but still. Finally they showed the 9th inning and Manny being GREAT! Which almost made up for all that I went through!
Game three was just mean! It was aired at 9 o’clock AT NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I spent the morning keeping away from the computer because I knew if I went online I would find out the score, which ruined game one for me. But my curiosity won out and to my joy, 9-1 Boston! I watched some highlights of the game and the post game celebrations, and thought, I can watch this game. So I stayed up until the top of the 9th, when I knew it was all over and then went to bed, after all it was MIDNIGHT. It was strange staying up late to watch a game after all season watching the games in the morning.
I then spent the next few days wondering who I wanted to win the yankees / Indians series. Part of me wanted the Indians to win just to stick it to the yankees fans and to prove we can go farther than them, but then I thought, if the ALCS is against the yankees, then NHK will probably air the games live and without interruptions. But then the Indians kicked butt 8-3 and now everything is up in the air,,, I shutter to think what they will do to the games now.
OH and the only Patriots game they have aired here so far was against the bangles, which aired at 3AM!!! I love my Patriots, but that’s just insane!
