Powerful thread I thought at first, but then it just made me sad.

So much talent & potential in our country is being wasted and wasted.....

how is yu darvish doing??

i dont follow baseball but i saw a little highlight from yesterday and he sucked ass!!! it was kinda embarrasing....hard to believe he is the most anticipated...i wonder if the pressure got to him and his iranian side kicked in

He calmed down and won the game. The reception to him was overall very positive.
