USA Eliminated from WBC

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

Unfortunately. My money's on the Domincan team now.

 

The good news in all of this is Barrett and Lee can get back to the Cubs, and the new pitchers can get some time in with Barrett.

[Geech]

I hope Korea wins it all.

[rickrolled]

I never really got too interested in the WBC.

 

at least Lee and Barrett are back.

I hope Korea wins it all.

especially because that would make Ichiro loose a lot of face.

I like Korea's powder blue unis and K hats.

 

(which I may have previously mentioned)

Hmm...

 

Korea Kubs? *shrug*

 

:D :lol:

[Zaphkiel]

I personally feel that Korea's uniforms are a crime against humanity. I've seen high school teams with better looking uniforms.

My dream of a Japan versus Cuba final remains alive.

I just love the K hats.

Simple, ain't it?

I guess so.

 

I wouldn't mind if the Cubs tried out some spring training BB hats.

 

Or even RISP hats.

I also enjoy the "matte" Japanese helmets. Bonus points for the 3-D "Japan" logo.

I'd like to see a Korea/Cuba final

I know there's another thread about this ... but it would be more fun if it were Korea or Japan vs the DR or Cuba for each game next round.

 

Instead it's Korea - Japan & DR -Cuba for the final.

Check out the transition in this ESPN article on the game:

 

"Clemens was randomly chosen for a drug test after the game, ESPN has learned.

 

The outcome was a stunner, especially considering the offensive firepower on the Americans' roster even without Derrek Lee and Johnny Damon, sidelined with sore left shoulders?"

 

I read "drug test" and the next sentence is "the outcome was a stunner.." Kind of freaked me out until I realized the writer had switched back to talking about the game.

I agree. A very poor transition.

[biittner77]

speaking of uniforms, does Mexico have to give their uniforms back to the University of Miami noiw that they've been eliminated?

[Derwood]

Viva Cuba!

especially because that would make Ichiro loose a lot of face.

I'm pretty sure that ship sailed when Korea beat them twice the week after Ichiro predicted it wouldn't happen once in the next 30 years. ;)

All those face points will come back and then some if Japan wins tomorrow, especially if Japan were to go on and win the tournament. Korea needs to win tomorrow's game to cement Ichiro's shame.

 

I like Japan's chances with Uehara on the mound with 100 available pitches. Should be a fun couple games. Thank god for DVRs.

[Soul]

Yay :D

 

Now we can get back to preparing for the season without fear of losing another player to a WBC injury.

Come on Japan vs DR final!
