Medicine Hat? Like there's no source closer to the action? But, they
must have used a wire service article as it is not written in Canadian,
eh?

Your google link didn't work for me. Had to find this instead:

Umm...don't think "*could*" is the word you are looking for.

My son has been looking forward to Darvish coming to the US for a long
time. We went to watch him play when we were last in Japan. We're
already plotting how to get to see him; if he does a stint in the
minors we might have a better shot, though we're equi-distance from
Atlanta, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, so surely he'll be at one of those
parks at some point.
