I hope there's a clause in his contract that allows him to go back to Japan
and that gives us a refund
I hear it, but I don't understand it. Why shouldn't Ichiro be enough for Japanese prestige?
Presumably the Japanese are just like us in that they prefer to root for non-shitty players. Or maybe I just don’t understand their culture.

7. Colorado, Troy Tulowitzki, ss, Long Beach
8. Tampa Bay, Wade Townsend, rhp, Rice
9. New York Mets, Michael Pelfrey, rhp, Wichita St
10. Detroit, Cameron Maybin, cf, T C Roberson HS, N.C.
11. Pittsburgh, Andrew McCutchen, cf, Fort Meade HS, Fla.
12. Cincinnati, Jay Bruce, cf, Westbrook HS, Texas
Coldly devouring reason as if it were a delectable snack
Seriously though, lists like these are usually a bit of a cheap shot.
I can’t remember how Clement was ranked back then (I do know that the Nats’ choice of Zimmerman was universally hailed as a smart move, and it paid off quickly), but I doubt it was a terribly stupid or inexcusably one. It’s not a Pirates/Jays kind of draft blunder.
I think they're fun to look at
Bavasi’s strength is player development and Clement could still be a stud. It’d be nice to have Ryan Braun’s bat in the lineup though. I don’t see any Sam Bowies in the first 12.

I was making a MST3K reference
But it was ridiculously obscure (referencing episode 305 – STRANDED IN SPACE). So no shame in not getting it.
Now that I'm at home
Seems that the evolution of the term / practice of bukkake went from something that was a necessity / loophole in Japanese pornography (due to genitalia censorship practices) to the group practices you’re all thinking of.
I’ve always seen it used in a singular sense similar to giving a facial or just doing the business on a part of the body instead of inside of it. Looks like the “hardest core” to the practice is a fetish of group ejaculation upon a single target.
Hmmm…
