AWESOME!

Youkilis is out for the remainder of the WBC and MLB Networks guys are saying DeRo may be the first base replacement (for now).

 

They also mentioned Dunn may move to first.

[dew1679666265]

And Davey Johnson made the right call - Dunn is starting at first and DeRo playing in left.

 

It's raining very hard, though, and there's question whether the game will get in or not. If not, they say the seeding for the semis will be decided by a coin toss.

glad there's no Cubs in this game, conditions look awful.

I almost corrected you by bringing up DeRosa, but then I remembered the truth. :(

USA looks like crap tonight.

[Roast]

is this game being broadcast?

Yea, on MLB Network.

Wow, watching Hawkins give him a 3-run HR makes me feel like I'm a vet having 'Nam flashbacks or something. YUCK.

Fuku is 0-for-2 with a BB so far in the Japan/Cuba game.

The USA will play the winner of tomorrow night's Japan/Korea game in their semifinal game on Sunday.

Looking forward to the Semi finals tonight. Venezuela vs. Korea correct?

I know a lot have maligned it, but I've really enjoyed the WBC this year.

[Brian]

They have to find some way to arrange the tournament so that Korea and Japan don't have to play 8 times in a tournament. It seems like every other day they are playing each other, and they will again if Japan beats the US tomorrow, which is fairly likely.

[Guest]

My friend was there yesterday. He said there were more Japanese fans than Venezuelans (obviously Korean fans dominated).

[dew1679666265]

What a way to start the game by Roberts!

[Bote McBoteface]

We should consider trading for that Roberts guy.

[UMFan83]

Fukudome pops it up on the first pitch with runners on the corners and 0 outs.

[Guest]

Stupid Oswalt.

Yeah, I doubt it'd be that hard to pry him away from the Orioles.

[dew1679666265]

USA back out in front thanks to a Met and a Phillie.
