Trent Durrington is in the Red Sox minor league system, so they got that going for them...which is nice

Dude from Japan tagged up from third and they said he left early after first saying he didn't.

Yeah, the right umpire didn't make the call though, so they went to the right umpire and he said the dude left early. I dunno why they would over turn the call, I realize the wrong ump had the call but why didn't the correct ump just go with the first guy's call? He was standing right there, it was obvious he didn't fuck it up.
Oh well though, A-Rod got his one clutch hit of the year, glad he got it out early. |

My kids made me change the channel so I didn't get to see past the 2 inning. What was the score of that game?

3 blown calls all going in favour of the USA. All ruled on by the same guy
The tag up play against the Japanese Calling ARod safe on a force play on a flyball out (Mexico tonight) Calling a double when the Mexicans hit the foul pole. (Mexico tonight) |

Poetic justice that Japan gets in and the US doesn't. I hope Korea beats Japan again.

USA's offense never really got anything going at all through this whole tournament, except for that one game againest South Africa.
Damon didn't play today because his shoulder is already sore, Red Sox not over paying him is looking like a better move again and again. |

I am glad the US didn't win it all, but it would have been better if they lost later in the tournament. The reason I say that is because so many guys didn't play that should have, and for the US to win would have been a joke. Now this is going to be a huge boost for the sport in these other countries where they actually care about it.

saw a Varitek interview and he was saying for a lot guys, the pitching was way head of the hitters. I wonder if they'll start spring training earlier on WBC years from now on?
Cuba has a big advantage because their pitchers are in mid season form, plus they've been playing together as a team. That is probably why they have been so succesful in this tournament. Not to mention the fact that most of these guys would be major league players if it wasn't for the whole communist nation thing. At the sametime though, they really don't have the opportunties for training etc like a lot of the other teams, so what they have been doing is pretty impressive. |

Isn't Japan's season already underway as well?
You're right about Cuba, they are a very impressive country in terms of sport production. Like baseball, they've got a great boxing system. Too bad for the atheletes, I guess... in terms of no access to pro leagues outside of Cuba. |

Then it comes on and they had audio problems.
Bob Davidson must be the sound man and scheduler now that he's not umping. Japan got off to a 4-0 lead after their 1st half inning. Been a good game though, Cuba has kept them close. 4-1 in the 3rd right now. |

...all I know is it's neither National Team and these guys play together all the time. I would think ESPN os someone would mention it on air if that were the case.

Matsuzaka is throwing great. Mid 90s fastball, 12-6 curve and a great splitter. He's making alot of these Cubans look silly. I really want to see this guy in the big leagues hopefully in 2007 or 08
