OFFICIAL: WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC thread

[Juno]

so is korea gonna win wbc?

<~~ korean but has nothing to root for especially ny mets.

 

[raystorm]

Bob Davidson did it again!!! This time he screwed Mexico out of a homerun!!! WHAT A JOKE!!! The ball clearly hit the foul pole and it practically ricocheted back near second base and that moron blew the call again!! Even the announcers can't believe the umps blew it.

 

[kcthomas]

hahahaha that was funny. mexico should be happy though, the only way they can advance is if they shutout US till the 13th then hit a walk off 3 run homer. Mexico is arguing to be eliminated HAHAHAHA
Arod was out at that play at first too. was this the same guy who made that bogus japan call?

 

[UncleWai]

Bob Fu[/b]cking Davidson. I hope on his way home he crashes his car and gets burnt alive.

 

[raystorm]

Mexico scores. So I guess thats it for them eh?? Stupid tie-breaker rules.

 

[waggy]

Japan advances to semifinals with:
? A Mexico win over the United States by a score of 2-0 or 2-1, at any point before a second out is recorded in the bottom of the ninth inning
? A Mexico win over the United States, in which Mexico scores three or more runs in a game ending at any point before a third out is recorded in the bottom of the 12th inning
? A Mexico win over the United States, in which Mexico scores three or more runs and the United States scores one or more runs in a game ending at any point before an out is recorded in the bottom of the 13th inning
? A Mexico win over the United States, in which Mexico scores 4 or more runs and the United States scores 1 or more runs in a game ending at any point

Mexico advances to semifinals with:
? A 3-0 or 4-0 win over the United States, with Mexico having played 13 innings or more on defense

He clearly wants Team USA to advance, even if his horrible calls taint the WBC.

I still don't understand the tiebreaker rules!

 

[drum]

i actually kinda hope usa doesn't make it. they've played like crap anyway.

i think i didn't post clearly what i wanted to say.

"korea winning all three games exposed the weakness in the tournament rules regarding tiebreaks" and it is something the MLB committee is going to have to take a serious look at before trying this again.
