same as the first round - top two teams advance after a three game round robin. runs allowed is tiebreaker. the stupid thing is the two teams then play again in the semifinal.

[Jon]

Cuba beats Venezuela 7-2. Zambrano will start tomorrow against Puerto Rico and Venezuela try to avoid elimination.

 

I can't wait to see some of these Japanese players.

[Outshined_One]

Fukudome and Iwamura are the two guys who've been trying to get posted recently.

[Omar]

Wow.... Surprised its not a loaded Stadium... and ICHIRO homers.

[da bears]

Oh boy. Not a good start.

[Outshined_One]

Ichiro hits a HR.

 

That's a bit sad.

[Andy]

Well that ain't good.

[Jon]

Wow. He really turned on that pitch.

 

Way to nearly pickoff the guy on the on-deck circle, camera man.

[Omar]

And another hit..

[stitchface]

Wow.... Surprised its not a loaded Stadium... and ICHIRO homers.

 

 

the weather may have a lot to do with that.

[Outshined_One]

haha, I love seeing Derrek Lee standing next to short people.

[Roast]

this looks ugly early.

[Roast]

Yay Dp

[Jon]

Wow.... Surprised its not a loaded Stadium... and ICHIRO homers.

It's 51 with light rain in Anaheim right now. They don't like that weather out there.

[Omar]

Good DP by Jeter.

[Outshined_One]

Nice recovery there.

[Omar]

Matsunaka grounds out. Inning over.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Watching this game. Listening to the Cubs game.

does anyone like that weather?

[stitchface]

looked like peavy was a little too strong to start - left the ball up to ichiro anyway.

[Outshined_One]

Maybe Jim Hendry can be lazy and scout international players through the WBC instead of wasting money on Pacific Rim scouting.

[Jon]

Wow.... Surprised its not a loaded Stadium... and ICHIRO homers.

It's 51 with light rain in Anaheim right now. They don't like that weather out there.

It'll look pretty nice in a few days.

 

Sutcliffe says get on base for the middle of the order. Sound advice.

[Omar]

Young with an infield single.
