***Official World Baseball Classic Thread***

[CedarPhin]

So for all of you baseball nuts out there, the World Baseball Classic starts in just under an hour and a half with China taking on Japan.

I'm hoping the US takes it...but with their injuries, I think the Cubans end up winning it this year.

Japan shuts out China 4-0 to open up the WBC

Japan or Cuba take it this year...

 

[CedarPhin]

The US tries their damndest to give that game away at the end.

Beats Canada 6-5.

 

[CedarPhin]

This Puerto Rico/Panama matchup isn't too bad, even though PR is up like 3-0.

Oh and LOL at the Dominicans losing to the Netherlands.

I always thought Bruce Chen was from somewhere in Asia.

 

[Dolfan3773]

I cant believe DR lost to the Netherlands

 

[CedarPhin]

They're always the best team on paper, but fold up when the real games start.

I always thought Bruce Chen was from somewhere in Asia.

Apparently he's from Panama..I thought that was strange too.

I didn't think I would be into the WBC at all, but I have to admit, I've enjoyed watching the games. That USA vs. Canada game was really good. Both teams genuinely cared and the crowd was great. I'm hooked now.

 

[CedarPhin]

The US is beating Venezuela right now 6-3.

Hopefully Team USA gets another W.

 

[Perfect23]

USA up 10-3 on Venezuela you see that Hugo Chavez that's what happens when you mess with us you get rocked.

 

[CedarPhin]

Looks like we're headed to Round 2.

 

[Dolfan3773]

God I love sports lol

 

[Dolfan3773]

Japan stomps Korea two days ago and they Korea shuts them out today 1-0....do you guys think the Netherland can pull another upset and beat PR?

 

[Dolfan3773]

Netherlands vs DR rematch tonight should be good
