If you want to watch a Dragons v Giants game, even if it's in Nagoya, you have to watch through a Yomiuri affiliate (Fuji). Now that sucks. <br /><br />Yoshimi coming back is amazing but Ohno actually has gone down with an injury which is a shame. Shouldn't be out for too long hopefully.

Like you said, everyone is a rival of the Giants. They are the bully on the block, not only because they win so much, but because of their power within the NPB organization. The deck seems to usually be stacked in favor of the Giants in various ways. It's pretty irritating, but the sad truth is that like the Yankees and L.A. Lakers in the U.S. when they do well people tune in. It's good for the league financially. Also, the Dragons have finished runner-up to the Giants many, many times and that was when the 2nd place team didn't make the playoffs, very frustrating.<br /><br />Excited for Yoshimi, if only he and Ohno can stay healthy all season.
