Dude will toss this season in Japan and next year will be a mayor of some city in Nicaragua. They love the washed up F list celebrities. Just look they even brought Ortega back as president after 20 years.

Two things: 1) He only played for 5 MLB teams? Could’ve sworn it was all of them and 2) Dude’s only 35? Yikes…

I’m certain that the legal issues around Godzilla revolve around them wanting to call him “、非常に静か非常に今ありなさい。” and Padilla’s people objecting to that. Only one monster can be 、非常に静か非常に今ありなさい。. And that monster is Vicente Padilla.

It’s only fitting he lands up in Japan were most of the home runs that are hit against him land.

And of all the huge coincidences, as Padilla heads over there, Godzilla is heading over here: http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Godzilla_(2014_film)

I understand this production is already embroiled in legal difficulties. Yep, the Big G is really going to be Americanized by the time we get through with him, just like his recently retired namesake.

Well, on the plus side, MLB just got better looking. On the minus, Japan just got a little uglier. Still, I’m actually going to miss that eephus he threw. You could see it was coming just before he sky-mailed it in, too. It always amazed me that it was never crushed, but he made that ‘ole beachball miss a lot of bats. I wonder how you say “erect shining and proud” in Japanese? Ah yes:

、非常に静か非常に今ありなさい。

Lets hope the Softbank Hawks play by play guys can do that justice.

I wonder if he can outsun the Samori Swords for hitting their batters?

Who knew that Sumo wrestling had heels?
