Lost in all the grumbling about Tsuyoshi Nishioka: He is back just in time for Ron Gardenhire to cash in on a repayment of a bet from last year's Women's World Cup final, won by Japan over the U.S. Team USA, of course, turned the tables in the gold medal match in the Olympics today. Will Nishi have to wear a similar shirt as Gardy? Or would you suggest some other punishment (be nice!)
