Fukudome press conference today

[Derwood]

they've only been doing press conferences on TV forever, so why can't they get a freaking microphone pointed at the reporters? IS THIS SO HARD?

(silence)

 

Player: Great question, I absolutely think so.

 

(more silence)

 

Player: Yes, completely.

 

(even more silence)

 

Player: Well I don't think so. No, that's not true.

Kosuke has the look on his face like "WTF did I just get myself into".

I like him. Can't wait to see him play for us.

[PrimeTime]

He didn't even have time to name his newborn son before traveling to Chicago for this pre-holiday press conference, saying through translator Matt Hidaka, ``Literally, I jumped on the plane. I'll name him when I get back.''

 

Thats awsome.

He should name his newborn son Clark Addison Fukudome.

Wrigleyville Sports claims this:

 

"As of right now, Majestic has no idea which jersey Kosuke will wear. The Fukudome on his jersey during the press conference means nothing and the only thing that we know is that he is wearing the number 1. He is not a member of the players union until his first regular season game. Due to this, Majestic needs to have a deal in place with Kosuke and his agent to start producing jersey’s, and name and number product. We will have the correct picture up as soon as it has been confirmed."

 

while Jay Mariotti claims this:

 

"He'll wear No. 1, but when his jersey was unveiled for the flashing cameras, it didn't have KOSUKE on the back like ICHIRO. It simply had his last name.

 

Why? ``I'm just used to seeing Fukudome on the back,'' he said."

 

I don't know what to think anymore. :| For what it's worth, the Cubs Clubhouse Stores echo what Wrigleyville Sports says and they say they won't know until at least January.

Now would be a nice time to have those nameless jersey's again...LOL. I wish he took #5 so my old Nomar/Cedeno jersey wouldn't be collecting dust.

This implies there are pictures where he doesn't look terrible.
