They're playing a Series in Japan, too!
Go, Nippon Ham Fighters!
The Fighters (not "Ham Fighers;" Nippon Ham is the owner of the team) are the Cubs of the Japanese league, with a similar history of futility. Like calls to like. Gotta pull for 'em.
ADDENDUM: On second thought... no. While I'm still pulling for the Fighters, they have won a previous pennant in the past twenty years.
In other ways, though, they're even more pathetic than the Cubs, so it all evens out.
