On Twitter, there are several accounts that pop up when you search for Yu Darvish. Can we trust these hacks?
For the record, Yu Darvish's Twitter account is @FaridYu. In case you don't know, Yu's father is from Iran and the name Farid means "unique" in Arabic.
In addition to the real Yu Darvish, there is a long list of other accounts that claim to translate Yu's Twitter post into something us dopey English readers can comprehend.
I mentioned in a previous post that a lot can be lost in translation between Japanese and English. So these Tweeters are up to something good -- so Texas Rangers fans, give 'em a chance.
Also, be prepared for a few good laughs from the strange Tweet translation results ... (Like the kind I have at my "Yu Funny" Tumblr account.)
