Damn, they shoulda kept Colon in.

Major League players are overrated. Hail Cuba

 

[raystorm]

Japan vs Korea is about to start.


Jae Seo starts for Korea...watch him pitch 8 shutout innings. You'll hear Mets fans groan in unison afterwards.


Should be a fun game. Ichiro bats 3rd in the lineup for Japan! Sadaharu Oh shakes things up a bit and Japan wants revenge.

 

[raystorm]

7th inning - Japan Manager Oh sends in a pinch hitter (Fukudome) and he hits a big fat 2 run homer off of Byung Hyun Kim. Kim hits the next batter and both teams get a warning...how lame is that.

Japan leads 3 - 0

[waggy]

so far its been a great game.

 

[waggy]

[Ricemarine]

Now a new pitcher... Against a pinch hitter.

Maybe they're going to use their final pitcher early

 

[waggy]

4-0!

Koreans are getting pounded!

 

[Ricemarine]

Rain delay... Japan is owning Korea 6-0. Urehara (???) is just owning them.

 

[Shlong]

BK Kim doing what he does best, Korea played well this tournament but it's tough beating the same team 3 times.

 

[bigrash]

Korea really sucked today. They were doing so good too.

Should be a good series though with Japan vs Cuba

 

[maddogchen]

That Urehara pitcher was amazing. They showed his record for the Tokyo Giants and I thought they're sending up a pitcher with a losing record? and then he pitches a gem.

Ichiro was clutch too. I'm not sure who i'm going to be rooting for when I go to the finals monday...

I like how they were posting all of Korea's stats in the WBC so far, how Korea has the lowest ERA and haven't loss a match. Then out of no where Japan spanked them for 6 runs and it's gg for Korea.

how about the fact that Korea played 7 games of ERROR Free baseball. that is meaningless to you?

korea played well thru this tournament and did their country proud. if anything the game tonite should why you can't make a playoff game like this a single elimination game.

Error free is meaningless when you lose the one critical match that advances you to the championship game. Korea failed to deliver.

typical. it's always results only, journey itself is not important. no wonder everyone does steroids in america. who gives a fvck how you win, winning is all that matters. :roll:

excellence is it's own reward, you don't have to win the trophy to have played your best.

Dude... M. H. Park pitched in today's (or yesterday's) game... As a reliever IIRC. So... LOL he didn't get caught until after Korea lost to Japan. :laugh: Now he's banned and probably has to do his 2 years of required military service.

Man I thought the Japan vs Korea game wasn't over due to rain delay... Meh... I guess they rerolled the tarp back...

I think you've mistaken your korean pitchers

edit: if it had continued raining all through the night, the game woulda been called over and Japan would have won without the last two innings played.

Hum that's very odd...

I remember I seriously saw M. H. Park leaving the bullpen... Even the commentator announced M H Park before the break... Maybe he got pulled back I guess...

I swear I'm not lying

 

[dethman]

awesome game by both seo and uehara. some quality pitchers there. korea has some real promise.
