The Dragons fell two full games behind the Yomiuri Giants, whose magic number to clinch the Central League pennant dropped to two. The Giants are idle until their final home games of the regular season on Oct. 2 and 3.
Japanese pro baseball is getting less popular, although both the CL and PL are showing close games. Some people say that one of the reasons why Japanese pro baseball has become 
unpopular is that some superstars are playing in MLB. But, I don't think it's a main reason.
According to USA TODAY:
BOSTON (AP)-- The 12-year wait for the Boston Red Sox is over. At last,
they're the AL East champions.
Moments after the Baltimore Orioles beat the New York Yankees 10-9 in 10 innings, completing Boston's clinch, Red Sox players popped champagne corks in their clubhouse while thousands of fans jumped up and down in nearly empty Fenway Park.
...Daisuke Matsuzaka had set up the celebration with eight strong innings against the Twins. He won for just the second time since early August and David Ortiz homered for the fourth time in seven games.http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/2007-09-28-red-sox-twins-clinch_N.htm
