    That wasn't Theriot. It was Bako.

    Shoulda walked Murata.

    Team China is better than I thought. I mean, they'll still going to get blown out, but so far not bad.

    The Japanese fans have songs and bring drums and other instruments to games.

    They lifted the rule from the Olympics.

    I just read that Kosuke had a grand slam, single, and a walk in Team Japan's exhibition win over the Yomiuri Giants. I'm not sure how he did in the other 5 exhibition games.

    I think they played Seattle recently. That doesn't make sense, unless the Mariners have spring training in Japan. Well Seattle isn't all that far from Japan :) This link says that Japan has played 6 exhibition games (I assume all against Nippon teams). I'm curious how Kosuke did in those games. http://web.worldbaseballclassic.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090301&content_id=3902626&vkey=wbc&team=&lang=1

    Speaking of Kosuke, has Team Japan played any exhibition games?

    Can you make a list of the best players not on the list of best players not in the HOF?

    Holy crap, is that Ryan O'Malley?

    It would be interesting if it became popular. But I don't think it has at all. Perhaps in another 15 years, after a couple rivalries build and a few "classic" games are played, and remembered, it will become popular. But you'll need far more stars playing in the tourny and not skipping. So if a tourney becomes popular with more stars playing, but how do you get more stars to play if the tourney isn't popular? don't ask them to play in it when they're supposed to be preparing for the regular season I'm not sure what other time frame would be a viable option for the WBC though. You can't really hold it in the winter unless you want to play everything indoors.

    The minor leaguers are sent back to the minors. I the case of established major leaguers who are given these types of deals, in most cases, there is a clause in their contract that if they dont make the roster by a certain date they can opt out of the deal. That's why the Cubs lost Hideo Nomo just before he became a productive major leaguer again. He was pitching at Iowa and had a clause in his minor league contract that he had to be called up or released by a certain date. When that day came the Cubs didn't think he was quite ready for the majors yet, so they asked him to stay at Iowa just a little longer. He refused, so the Cubs released him. On the flip side is Rod Beck, who realized himself that he wasn't ready by the agreed-on date, so he agreed to remain at Iowa (that was when he was living in a camper outside the stadium). Could he not afford rent in Iowa?

    Shouldn't Z be with the Venezuela team?

    It's definitely a bigger site than NSBB.

    I thought Juan Mateo retired from baseball.
  18. chuckywang
    Does anybody have stats to back this up?

    I'm not too good at history. Explain why this is funny.

    I thought during the broadcast they said it wasn't really a pic of himself. They replace the picture for TV.

    Illini tie it up at 58. Assembly Hall is rockin'.

    The commentator was screaming for a 5-second call the entire time as well. Scheyer was blatantly fouled well before he traveled. On this play, two wrongs make a right.

    I did not mention that, quite the opposite. any specific reason given for the lack of interest? He hits with his right hand. Most likely. Not really since there looking for a RH bat for this spot. I hadn't heard that. The emphasis this offseason has been 100% on getting more left handed so I figured that's what they'd be doing with this spot. They need a RH backup corner infielder ... Nomar would be perfect.

    Ha, I was just about to comment on the music!!! Tomorrow night im going over to a friends house to play GH and I will last exactly 23 seconds on that song I can finish it on hard now, but it ain't pretty. Thats pretty impressive...my friend rocks out Expert and can't do it on Hard. I can 3 star it on Expert. Might be able to 4 star it if I get lucky.
