It SHOULD be like that, but who knows. I had seats for the away dugout at petco park and was hoping they would follow their reg season way, since the padresare the 1st base dugout, and they did. I was a but worried tho since I wanted to be by the mexico dugout

I saw Youk is getting an MRI on his ankle...PLEASE tell me he didn't get hurt during that celebration.

Well these bunch of B-team guys got farther than that 06 team did. Why would you want to see a bunch of superstars if they don't know how to play togetherand win?

 

[bigmike23]

usa has another comeback going

 

[mez 0ne]

David Wright walk-off on K-Rod?

He did force a blown save vs him last season.

 

[darthska]

^ Or not.

[josebronx]

[mr jordan04]

I'm amped regardless. Baseball @ the ravine

I want Cuba to win this though, and then lose to Korea tomorrow to see a politically heated game this weekend

 

[daewing]

This format is really dumb. Korea is playing Japan for the 4th time this tournament.....

 

[darthska]

^ They were in the same pool from the beginning, and it's a double elimination tourney.

 

[onewearz]

these asians are playing some really good games. gotta give em props. some real good ballplayers out there

 

[cincoseisdos]

exactly, this is how baseball SHOULD be played. Not waiting for a stupid dinger to pull you out of a rut, MANUFACTURING runs is where it's at

 

[onewearz]

i cant front , i've really enjoyed these games alot more than the usa games. they play the game right, it's got me wanting to see more of they'rebaseball.

wonder why some of them can't really do good over here. i mean don't get me wrong theres been some guys who have done well but theres also been guyslike kei igawa who was a star over there but completely sucks over here ......

home team will be on the 3rd baseline a la dodger home games, look at the WBC photo album on dodgers.com, it confirms it.

pressure and workload would be my guess. Igawa is the Irabu of this decade. Add the fact that they're in NY, it might just topple theirconcentration.

 

[japanair21]

Japan going for the twopete, and looking DAMN good.

 

[solein1]

US club roster sounds hella whack. Who they playhing in the next round>?

 

[darthska]

^ Japan

Sunday at 8 EST on ESPN

 

[an dee 51o]

The format of this tournament is abhorrent.

 

[dman14]

they need to bring the tournament to better stadiums

i know miami is close to central america/south america, but bring that to NY and place would be packed.

 

[cincoseisdos]

new stadium already having inflated ticket pricing + WBC mark up= no packed stadiums

 

[mojodmonky1]

Anyone attending any of the games this weekend, specifically tomororow. If any Venezuela fans accidentally ended up on the right field side, ill swap you 4 for4 (field level infield only).

 

[in yo nostril]

anyone wanna sell me 2 seats for sundays game?
