ugh that was a disgusting job after they got it within 2 runs. i thought longoria might get it to a 1 run game and come back but that jeter high throw sealed the fate. hopefully this is the last WBC for jeter. :-b

Well we get another S. Korea Vs. Japan game :-/

Honestly not that surprised with the US not making the finals (especially since they had to play Japan in the semis)--but on the bright side at least they didn't lose to the Canadians :-B

Well a real RF catches Iwamura's triple and the final run scoring hit out there. Dunn cost the team 2-3 runs that game. Jeter's bad throw cost another run. Roberts error cost another 1-2 of the runs(though he is a real 2B at least and don't have a problem with him being out there).

The USA pitching had an ERA over 6 for the entire thing which shows me they weren't really ready, though I could have told you that just watching the pitchers pitch.

Until the USA commits itself to putting a real team out there I don't think they have much chance of winning this thing. Hopefully next time we take it a bit more seriously.

I am cheering for Korea tomorrow. I hope their lineup of Lee, Lee, Lee, Kim, Lee, Kim, Lee and Lee destroys Japan! heh.

lol
japan hasn't been able to get many hits off bong, but something tells me they might have him figured out now.

I hope Bum Ho and Suk-kim have good games tomorrow so I can have a good laugh.
Dice-K and Darvish will probably pitch the majority of the game for Japan (I am expecting Dice-K to back up in relief).

Will be a good one, and I hope they randomly show Jeter a few more times just to rub it in that he sucks :-D

Hmmmm, could Dice-K possibly relieve himself? (not in the urination sorta way)

If anyone could figure it out, the japanese can!

"Any pitcher who makes 30 or more pitches in a game is ineligible to pitch on the following day. As the Finals are played over three consecutive days, a so-called "pitcher rest equalization" rule has been added: a pitcher making 30 or more pitches in a Semifinal is ineligible to pitch in the Final."

So Dice-K won't be able to pitch. I don't know if Darvish threw 30 or not.
