FWIW this is the only postseason prediction I made, in the Joe Sheehan Slack chatroom. Dodgers coming close but we're getting closer and closer to this coming to fruition.

Visited #Izakaya Matsuri after Mariners-Tigers ended around seven on Friday. Just simple nibbles: gyutan, sashimi, and Kurobuta sausage. Quiet enjoyment following a long, exhilarating game.

Weekend visits to Harry’s Cafe. Watched a lot of baseball games and used a shitton of mobile WiFi data. Classic Loco Moco on Saturday and a Christy omelet on Sunday for #breakfast.

Friday #ramen at Tanto, the Hamamatsu-based chain. They had a gyoza-salad add-on for just FIVE (5) dollars: Just forcing me to be a piggy. And so it is. Classic shoyu bowl with mini salad and bite-sized gyoza.

Saturday #breakfast time at Harry’s. Link sausage always delivers.

Blue Jays hold on to beat Rays, 5-1. Magic number to win the AL East is one.

We also did Harry's for #breakfast all weekend. Loco moco, beef stew, and all the starch-y items. Christy also made her fried tofu on Sunday. It's the place everyone on Instagram always knows about from my posts there.

Sunday at Kamukura #Ramen. Glad they got a counter here — ramen isn’t the same in a plasticky container at a food court.

This is Seasoned Egg Ramen.
