Six Tickets for Red Sox
お目出度うご座います。Omedettō gozaimasu means “congratulations” expressed in the polite form. One uses the polite form to those whom one respects, and Hideki Okajima’s 2007 statistics command such deference: 41 innings pitched, 2 wins, 4 saves, 0.88 ERA, 10 walks, 37 strikeouts, 4 earned runs.
The fans agreed and submitted 4.3 million votes for Okajima so that he could join Josh Beckett, Mike Lowell, David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon, and Manny Ramirez in San Francisco for the All-Star Game.
Tom Caron on NESN thought that Kevin Youkilis might have a chance to join them since Alex Rodriguez has pulled up lame. Just one more plot line to follow to leading up to the Midsummer Classic.
