    As I left my office yesterday, a large police cavalry escorted a bunch of buses up the street. I thought it had to do with Barrack Obama being in town, until I brushed shoulders with Derek Jeter in front of the Biltmore Hotel. I told my brother (Yankee fan) I would have gotten a picture with him, but he wasn't David Wright. My brother cooly retorted that my phone probably couldn't handle the glare of a World Series ring.

    yeah, USA and DR were not worth it because of the odds.

    I bet on Japan and Cuba mostly. Cuba was just eliminated. :(

    It appears it will be South Korea vs. the winner of USA-Japan tomorrow in the finals on Monday night.

    Japan-US at about 8 PM EDT in Dodger Stadium.

    If the US wins tomorrow, there will probably be more South Korea fans than US fans at the finals.

    Those will be Monday night at about 9 PM EDT in Dodger Stadium.

    I would say the winner of tomorrow night's game is at a disadvantage due to having only like 20 hours between games.

    only if they go like 14 innings or something crazy, Baseball is played almost everyday in season so they should after 3 days off play two back to back without a problem

    if the U.S wins today, I'll be field level at the game tomorrow. my company shares an office with one of our licensees, which is a Korean company, and they have a slew of tickets for the game. but that may be moot, it is raining here today.

    My brain is confused by rooting for David Wright.

    Edit: and of course he's out. Great.

    I personally still root against Jeter. It's okay if you root against Wright.

    I never root against the Mets unless they're playing the Yankees. I was just confused that I wasn't neutral.

    Excellent, I have my money on Japan to win it all. I am a little confused as to why they would start Matsuzaka against the US when the hitters are more familiar with him than they would be with Darvish, but whatever.
