I found it to be quite enjoyable in 2005/06

I agree. It is awesome! I think part of the reason is because the countries that are really into it are the Latin American countries and the Asian countries. However, the 2nd round games are held in the US. If the 2nd round games are held in Venezuela, or Japan, the place would be sold out and going wild. Hell, even the Canada vs. USA game at the Rogers Centre was an awesome atmosphere with all the Canadian fans.

It's still very new and not really well advertised.

Last licks for the US team. The WBC has been quite entertaining so far. Disappointed in the crowd for tonights game though a lot of that is the crapola stadium and its location..then again last nights PR vs Ven game had a bigger and much louder crowd. I expect Petco Park to be packed for the Korea vs Japan game.

 

[skim milk]

Korea / Japan, I'm looking forward to this one

 

[iamwiz82]

I'd like to jam that whistle up the nose of the jackass in the stands. It's driving me nucking futs.

 

[raystorm]

[raystorm]

Its a joke dude. I'm actually rooting for Romero. If PR goes to the finals or wins it will help the sport on the island. Its taken a bit of a hit the past few years.

 

[dbk]

Give me a 3 run walk off, Rollins!!

 

[iamwiz82]

Wow, close play!

 

[chuckywang]

Damn ... I was thinking that was gonna be Venezuela part 2.

 

[raystorm]

This is an exciting matchup!

 

[chuckywang]

Bases loaded, 1 out, USA down 2....this is why I love baseball!

 

[skim milk]

damn son!

 

[chuckywang]

I don't know what to watch right now: Bulls up 1 at home against the Celts or this game.
