Nippon Series

The Japan Series (日本シリーズ) is seven game championship of Japanese professional baseball teams. It is the game for winners of both Pacific League and Central League. It's like the World Series of MLB. If the team could win the Japan Series, they can declare that they are number one in Japan (日本一:Nippon ichi).

I like baseball.(both play it and watch it) But these days many famous players go and try in MLB. Then I don't watch Japan's baseball games these days. And many TV stations are now not broadcasting baseball games even the game of Giants (the most famous Japanese professional baseball team based in Tokyo: aka Yomiuri Giants).

This year's champion of the Pacific League is Chiba Lotte Marines(千葉ロッテマリーンズ) and champion of the Central League is Chunichi Dragons(中日ドラゴンズ). And the Japan Series will start from tomorrow, but there is one big problem. There are no nation-wide TV stations that will broadcast some games. 1st game will start on Saturday in Nagoya Dome, but I don't have any way to watch it on-time. Also the 2nd game too. But 3rd and 4th game will be broadcasted by nation-wide TV station. 5th game will not broadcasted by nation-wide TV stations. 6th and 7th game will be broadcasted by nation-wide TV station.

Well, 3 of 7 games will not be broadcasted by nation-wide TV stations and that means I cannot watch these 3 games on-time...

I heard this is the first time, that there are no nation-wide TV stations that will broadcast the Japan Series...

Well, I don't like Chunichi Dragons, then I will root for Chiba Lotte Marines.

Thank you.
