No it's good.

USA got a lot weaker with injuries. Also A-rod might not play for D.R.
Don't know how I should feel about this. We do need that power threat but I guess we can do without him.

Hope D.R. takes it cool

Yu Darvish is gonna pitch
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/worldclassic2009/news/story?id=3950423

First time I'll have seen him, but from what I've heard he's arguably one of the best pitchers in the world and could get a better contract than Dice-K if he leaves the Japanese League. Should be interesting

Same here. But best pitcher in the world? talk2hand

I honestly don't think anyone coming out of Japan will recieve any deal like Daisuke. I'm pretty sure just like Diasuke he runs up the count a lot and will probably have a lot of short outings (if in the MLB)

In Japan I don't think pitch count is a concern.

China will play Japan @ 4:30AM ET

I don't about you guys but I'm going to watch it. And also get my first look at Dice-k 2.o. 3nodding  

[sfeihcck]

4 innings, no-hitter with one walk
Against China, but nonetheless pretty damn impressive
He's 22 as well, as supposed to Dice-K who is 28  

[Boston Sports Fan]

I saw him pitch, pretty nasty stuff. 3nodding

Also back-to-back SHO in the WBC. Korea won 9-0 against Taipei.

I'm not happy about Puerto Rico's win... mad

Damn D.R. better step it up. Beside the pitching everything else was horrible.

Pretty good game between Canada and the US. I think the US BP is going to give them some trouble.  

[JapaneseKariOut]

Not happy about Rico's win? Why? They played a quality game in my opinion. Panama held them to 3 runs till the 7th.

I'd like to see Rico win, or at least get to the Semis. D.R. is gonna beat Panama though.

Although, Rico is going to have trouble after the 2nd round though. Since they're off their home turf.

 

[BKLYN_22]

Yes Japan got shutout by South Korea 1-0 smile  

[Bronx Bombers]

Damn all 3 games are on the MLB Network today crap stressed I might have to watch it on ESPN Deportes.
