Myshkin Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Been thinking about changing my allegiance to either the Hanwha Eagles or SK Wyverns. Wyverns have slightly cooler gear, but the Eagles helped to make my darling child Hyun-jin big and strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyverns have slightly cooler gear, but the Eagles helped to make my darling child Hyun-jin big and strong. At least when I lived there, the Hanhwa Eagles were my backup team and they were abysmal. I learned tons of their chants/songs going to their games and getting drunk with the Korean girl I should have married. The team even came out of the dugout and apologized to their fans after a particularly brutal loss. Go for 'em. They're good fun. Forever fuck the Lotte Giants. They had a thing at their games where they gave plastic bags to all the fans to wear on their heads as balloon hats. Tens of thousands of orange plastic bags for no purpose but to be fashioned into little bubble hats with the handles around the ears and then thrown into the bins. Every. Single. Game. LG Twins are my jam, just as the MN Twins are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just give me some pornographic bat flips and I'll root for you. Also, per a previous edition of the Kimes Times, baseball in Korea sounds so much more fun than in the U.S. And you're expected to have fried chicken and beer at games. Sounds like heaven to me.

You are expected to have fried chicken and beer. And there are cheerleaders and festive songs and whatnot. And you can get good seats for like twenty bucks.

Myshkin Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 My beautiful Eagles won last night. (I may have to switch allegiances again, as I would be mortified if someone accidentally mistook me for a Philadelphia football fan) ETA: Google tells me the Korean translation for Eagles is Dogsuli, so I might just start calling them that.

Ramsay B. Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Dinos big opening win. Rucinski solid start, and even got a decent bat flip in there from Chang-min. Their jerseys are very Ray-ish, but what can you do? Dogsuli > Eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'm so glad to have baseball back in some form. I hope this continues in some way when the Major Leagues start playing. I would love a weekly NPB game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both had a strong reputation for buying their teams and the latter had a long-standing intra-city rivalry with a less successful team (LG). Do they have English language commentary on these broadcasts? My Korean was never good enough to keep up with the broadcasts on TV, so I usually watched on mute with music and it just wasn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyverns are up in the fourth. Dinos and Lions are TV right now, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
