Btw, I'm watching the final half-inning of game 5 of the Japan Series between Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters and Chunichi Dragons. I like the Japanese commentator, he goes slightly wild at the end.

I always wondered what jews thought of the name Ham Fighters...

Charlton lost to Derby County in the final, on the road to the final they lost one of the two legged games to Fulham 2-1 but won the other to progress.

I would have guessed the cause was it being a two-legged affair, but I wouldnt know the name.
