Cuba wins, looks like Japan will do the same.
But the real shocker is, its frickin raining in San Diego.

Re: WBC
I remember Theo Epstein saying that signing Kim was a mistake and really agreeing with him. That guy really cracks under pressure or it is just extreme variance. With Arizona he blew it in big games (2 were in NY from what I rememeber), with Red Sox, and then tonight.

[ QUOTE ]
Yeah, we should just cancel all professional baseball leagues across the world and do this thing right. Every team plays 7, wait, eff that, 25 game series. [/ QUOTE ] Your sarcasm is misdirected. All I ask for is consistency and simplicity. The structure and tiebreakers are so convoluted that Mexico eliminated itself in its game against USA when it scored a run before the 13th. Yes, Mexico eliminated itself *by trying to win the game* Korea is 2-1 against Japan and 6-1 overall. Japan is 4-3. Japan's in the final. Make it simple. Make it double-elim. No tiebreakers, no rooting for other teams, etc. That way everything you do actually counts in the tournament.

Re: WBC
How much longer you want to extend this thing?
While I have enjoyed watching the games, it's already too long and has screwed up things for the MLB season. Now, you want to make it longer because single elimination is all of a sudden not fair? When has single elimination really in any sport been fair?

Re: WBC
It's not single elim right now. Its two rounds of pool play followed by a 4 team single elim final. I think he is advocating eliminating the pool play and just doing a double elim tourney.

Re: WBC
The thing JoA is mad about is that Korea beat Japan twice, but then they lost one game and now they're out to the team they already beat twice.
I do agree that all the tie-breakers are BS, but that's what you get when you have pool play.
