They should have included the rest of the quote.

"Yes, I hear their chanting," he'd assure me later, through his interpreter, in the Cubs' clubhouse. "They might be releasing tension. I have heard many male fans here saying, 'I love you,' which I find odd. This is the biggest party of any baseball stadium I have played in in America. If we win the World Series—if I can be sure to come home alive—I will join that party." But just in case, I asked him what the traditional Japanese antidote would be to ward off some threatening evil, like, say, a 100-year curse allegedly brought on by a smelly, rain-soaked billy goat's eviction from a very well-known baseball stadium in 1945. "A small mound of salt," he replied, "placed outside the front door."

 

Kosuke knows what's up; he knows what's going to happen if this team can go all the way.

I don't hate Kosuke, but I pray that he spends the offseason working with someone who can help him...

I think it's odd that coincidentally, everytime he strikes out someone starts chasing him out of nowhere and he bails out to first.

Apparetly, the Japanese dont have the concept of hetero-man love.

I would love for Kosuke to stride towards the pitcher and plant his lead foot when he swings the bat.

I would love to see the Turnstile Swing retired forever.

That's what I would love.
