The Hanshin Tigers had their homecoming over the long weekend. Clinching the pennant at the home ballpark on September 14 was special, but having to play on the road the day after meant that fans did not get a chance to see their champs live for a few days. Unfortunately, the bats were almost completely silent (scoring one error-aided run and one solo home run in 19 innings). The arms did just fine, and the entire series would have looked different if they had simply not pitched to Shugo Maki. He is a destroyer of Tigers, and if we face the Baystars in the playoffs, I have three letters for you: IBB. Every time.
