A small blue flame begins to burn deep in the stomach,

and grows bigger and bigger

When it reaches its biggest size...

You're home

Wait... that's...

Hey, can you hold this?

There!

Now, the real pennant race begins today

Who'll gain the momentum? Will it be the Dragons or the Giants?

To kick off this 3-game series, Sergio gets fire start for the Dragons

He's been the most consistent starter in the Dragons' rotation thus far,

and is already in double digits in wins

Yes! There we go!

He singles to right! He's been the Dragons' strength all year!

The runner goes...

This shot's deep!

And it's outta here!

A 3-run homer to the left-field bleachers puts the Giants back on top!

It's final! Manager Ochiai and his Dragons can't pull this one out

They fuckin' lost...

Don't just stand there forever!

The Dragons lost, man

And we're out of booze

Let me hit you

Nosebleed

Hospital? No no, I haven't gone

One of those aluminum ones

And he's a pretty big guy
