TAKASHI!! : HOW TO ENJOY THE 9TH INNING AT DODGER STADIUM

With the
Dodgers' Home Opener only a few hours away, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you a new cheer my boys and I discovered. It's quite possibly the best cheer EVER...dare I call it..."the perfect cheer"?
Here's what you need to know:
1) The Dodgers' closer is a Japanese pitcher named
Takashi Saito. He comes in to pitch the 9th inning in close games when the Dodgers are winning. He usually only needs to get 3 guys out, and since last season has been pretty dominant.
2) "Tatashii!" means "Correct!" in Japanese.
3) "Takashi" and "Tatashii" are basically separated by a "k", the symbol for a "strikeout" in baseball.
4) When I walk into a sushi restaurant, everyone smiles and yells something at me.
And here's what you need to do:
1) When Saito pitches a strike:
STANDRAISE YOUR ARMS STRAIGHT UP (A GESTURE SIMILAR TO "TOUCHDOWN!")YELL "TAKASHIII!!!!"
2) When the catcher throws the ball back to Saito, sit back down.
3) If Saito records a strikeout, go NUTS.
3b) If you are sitting anywhere near the Visitors Dugout, feel free to taunt strikeout victims as they walk back to the dugout, saying they've been "Takashi'd".
4) Repeat.
5) "TAKASHII!" is only appropriate for pitch-count strikes. This includes foul balls UNLESS there are already two strikes on the batter.
6) The cheer is also somewhat universal - we've found that "Takashi" is the perfect thing to yell after a strike, whether you're at the ballpark, a bowling alley, or even backstage at the CMAs.
Be a part of the revolution. Let's take this thing to Sportscenter.
See you tomorrow.
