Kishi Got a Win in a Asia Series Game


Since his complete game shout out in Japan Series, Takayuki Kishi has been established himself as one of Japan' s top pitcher. To me, he ranks as same pitcher as Darvish Yu. Last night, he pitched another great ball game for the Saitama Seibu Lions. He allowed just five hits and one earned run in eight strong innings against Taiwan's Uni Lions at the Tokyo Dome. Saitama Seibu beat Uni 2-1.
Takayuki Kishi
I watched this game from the back of the Home Plate at the Upper Seat. It was part of the General Admission(2,000yen). It's really great view with good seats. You can even find out what kinds of pitches a pitcher throws. This area has a steep slope. That may make you little bit scary at first; but, you'll be ok after an inning. This area is actually Season Ticket Holder Seats for the Giants Game. Unless you're Season Ticket Holder, you cannot watch the game from there. It's cheap during the Asia Series; so, I recommend this area for watch the series.
Cheese Dog
I ate two kinds of Hot Dogs last night. I believe the Cheese Dog(420yen) is the best food in Tokyo Dome. Concession foods in Tokyo Dome are not that good; however, their Hot Dogs are different story. While Yokohama Stadium's Bay Dog uses Wisconsin's Johnsonville Sausage(The Best Sausage Brand in the World), Tokyo Dome's Cheese Dog is really good. Even though Tokyo Dome's Sausage is not Johnsonville, its melting cheese makes this stadium's dog really special. I also ate the Dog with chopped and grilled onions and Hunny Masterd on it(440yen).

日本シリーズでの完封以来、埼玉西武ライオンズの岸は日本のトップ・クラスのピッチャーになったと言ってもいいのではないでしょうか。ファイターズのダルビッシュと並び称されるべき投手になったと思います。アジアシリーズでの初先発となった統一ライオンズ戦でも1点は失ったものの、抜群の安定感で勝利投手になりました。

この日は自由席券を購入し、2階席のバックネット裏で見ました。なかなか見ごたえのある良い席です。投手の球種が良く分かるし。ただ、前の方だとちょっと傾斜がキツイのが最初は怖いですが、慣れれば平気になります。この席は巨人戦だと年間予約席なので、なかなかチケットを手に入れる機会がない所です。アジアシリーズでは2,000円と比較的安い値段設定なので、お勧めの席です。

今日のスタジアム・フードは東京ドームでは一番おいしいチーズ・ドッグ(420円)。それにパリパリオニオンとハニーマスタード・ドッグ(440円)です。
