Three Batter Minimum: The Big Boss

These past few years have been pretty boring as a Hokkaido Nippon- Ham Fighters fan. Losing Shohei Ohtani was a big blow, but one that every Fighters fan knew was coming. Still, following his exit to the Major League Baseball ranks the team quickly entered the realm of cellar dweller. Outside of my Wang Po-jung […]

Twitter's an unorganized mess without a third party app to show Tweets chronologically, block out ads, & let me resume where I left off scrolling. I'm done here for the most part. I won't be posting much to Mastodon, but if I do you can find me at,
