    The ending of that game sure will make for some good conversation in the Mets clubhouse in the near future. Wright knocks out Delgado (who homered) and Beltran (Who made a marvelous catch at the wall).

    Goes to show the WBC can actually be fun!!

    I will be in Dodger Stadium next week for the championship game and I'm hoping for a US vs Japan final. The Japanese fans would be insane and the fact that the US would be playing would certainly bring out some locals. A close 2nd choice would be Korea vs Japan for the 5th time in this thing.

    I think because of injuries, they have lost like 4 players this week.

    But does he have the intangibles? Is he "The Captain"? Does he have some other mystic crap that somehow compensates for his average defense?

    Seriously, his range left is atrocious at this point. PR tacked on that insurance run thanks to him.

    Rollins DH'd too. If both guys are gonna be in the lineup anyway, Jeter playing short is all about sparing his ego.

    we're down to the final four.

    Japan, USA, South Korea, and Venezuela.

    It's running into March Madness, though. The final four isn't going to get a lot of viewers.

    What was with the attendance in Miami? Nobody showed up. Shows how much of a joke the WBC is sadly.

    Or how much of a joke Florida sports fans are. Put those games in any of the Caribbean countries or Japan and they all sell out.
