What the hell is this? 0000-00-00 00:00:00 First off a hat tip to Awful Announcing, second I’m just not sure what to make of this. It’s a commercial I’m assuming promoting Japanese Baseball.

Lets Play Two! 0000-00-00 00:00:00 Yesterday was a frustrating loss to the Fish, though they do play us hard every time out.
