CHOP, you are brutal man!

I actually was cheering when A-Rod got that hit and I hate the yankees with a passion.

I am enjoying it! I like it a lot in fact. JAP USA, that was a very big match up. Dramatic finish.

PR and DR that is also a big deal to the countrys and the players.

I have been following this at the official WBC site and the whole 9. I love it!

I think the players are trying their best and the fans are into it, that makes for a great atmosphere.

Did you guys watch the game? Japan got screwed. Umps called a guy out saying heleft early on a tag up and score. Replay showed he clearly on the base when the ball was caught.

not suprised that Japan would have to overcome the Umps aswell as team USA....

where were the UMPS from anyway?

Chop...what gives? These games are great, and yes I'm still not on that Baltimore bandwagon.

Chop is crabby these days, that's all.

It's funny, but I don't recall seeing this type of situation come up on ESPN highlights last season in the whole leagues regular and post-season games. Pretty sure I didn't miss it. Why now?
