WOW ... Pedro Feliz just got sent into the game as a pinch runner.
I was at the US-Japan game. It was pretty sweet, but our relievers almost gave the game away. Japan lost an easy run when a runner on third left the base too early on a flyout.
We all wanted Griffey to win the game, not Rodriguez. Oh well, this is payback for Pearl Harbor.
Also, the Japanese players are microscopic.
Dang, I thought for sure that they had roids in Japan.Originally Posted by Saber
I'm sure Junior would have won it if the game was of no importance.
Marshall: MILSWANCAs?
Ted: Wait, I can get this. Mothers I'd like to sleep with and never call again.
Barney: Circle gets the square!

Who is ready for some more gyroball? When is Daisuke Matsuzaka scheduled to go again, Tuesday?
Honestly, Ichiro may have been the largest Japanese player.
Replay showed that he did leave third on time on time. I was watching it with no sound, did the secondbase umpire over-rule the home plate umpire? Or was it the other way around?Originally Posted by Saber
From what I could tell, I believe whoever's call it's supposed to be got overruled, which caused a big stir. It took the crew a while to figure out what they were going to do. They didn't replay it on the big screen at the game.

7-0 Dominicans over Cuba after 6 innings. Odalis Perez with a solid outing and David Ortiz has hit a homerun, also drew a bases-loaded RBI walk.
Korea with 2 runs in the bottom of the first inning off Dontrelle Willis. Ouch. He hasn't pitched well at all.
Ken Griffey Jr just homered... 2-1 Korea
Nice at-bat for A-Rod...
