    Time to set the stage for Round 2 games.

    Pool #1 (Japan, USA, Mexico, Korea) will be played in Anaheim.
    Pool #2 (Cuba, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic) will be played in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

    Both pools kick off tomorrow (Sunday). We've got quadruple header action!

    Cuba vs Venezuela at 1 pm.
    Japan vs United States at 4 pm.
    Puerto Rico vs Dominican Republic at 8 pm.
    Mexico vs Korea at 11 pm.

    all times Eastern. Too bad they had to schedule this at the same time as Selection Sunday.

    eh? Why not. You guys are sending Peavy out there. Plus, the Japs have just travelled across the Pacific, think of the jetlag. I think that I like the Usaians chances better.

    They play a better style of ball. So does Korea. We sit on homeruns, they manufacture.

    How do they break three-way ties? By Runs allowed per 9 innings. So even though Canada beat the USA head-to-head, Canada is eliminated. The USA and Mexico would move on. Way to go, Bud Selig, good job.
    So Canada and Mexico should make it even though the US beat Mexico head-to-head? How about your boys should have taken care of business and beat Mexico then you wouldn't

    You only beat the US because for some reason Al Leiter was not only on the team, but also pitched

    Eh. We have as many wins as you. The tiebreaker system is out of wack.

    We beat up on Dontrelle Willis first. Al Leiter was not the problem.

    no, that's what you originally said. I was mocking your stupid comment with a similar stupid comment. If they had beaten Mexico, you'd have nothing to ***** about.

    Why should we have to win 3 games when you only have to win 2?

    Canadia shouldn't have played down to South Africa's level, and scored some runs.

    If you had won, you'd be in. You lost, we won, and then you lost the tie-breaker. It's just like the last game of the NFL season...teams end up tied and could have gotten in if they won, but they didn't and then lose subsequent tie-breakers. :ohwell: thems the breaks.

    The NFL system of tiebreakers isn't about whether one team has scored more points than the other team, it's all based on won-loss (ex.: team A is 7-3 in conference play while team B is 6-4, etc.)

    In the words of the immortal joek, "a 1-0 win is as good as a 15-14 win."
