fuck jeter

 

[mYm|17|]

wow Adam Dunn...................pathetic

 

[Slurmer]

:lol wth Dunn

 

[KHarvey16]

WTF was that?

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Derek Jeter - worst defensive shortstop in baseball.
:lol Adam Dunn. maybe JP was right? Heartless. :lol

 

[calder]

"you'd need a perfect throw to get him out in that situation... and as we all know but refuse to discuss Derek Jeter is a poor defensive shortstop" *gunshot in booth* "sorry, meant to say no chance for Jeter to make that throw"

Japan has the coolest looking batting helmets ever.

 

[The Frankman]

OT MLB-GAF just imploded at that Adam Dunn play. I think we need Manny as a RF defensive replacement.

 

[KHarvey16]

I told you guys 6 wasn't enough!

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Damn, Japan could smell blood.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

what kind of name is darvish?

 

[mYm|17|]

what kind of name is darvish?

the guy is like half japanese/half iranian

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

what kind of name is darvish?

His father's Iranian.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

im sorry but that was an embarassing performance by every american on that team save for rollins.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Woo! My back up team has succeeded where my country of origin has failed spectacularly. Hopefully they can take out Korea again.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

dunn you lazy *** piece of fuck

 

[Fëanor]

GO JAPAN!

 

[Relix]

Damn USA.... =/.

 

[jamesinclair]

Shall we take bets?

I say Korea wins the final.

 

[kamikaze]

i wonder if this loss will motivate the u.s. to take an approach similar to olympic basketball (e.g. pick a team of guys who can check their egos at the door and do what it takes to be the best team possible)?

 

[Brofist]

Ugghh are you shitting me, Japan and Korea for the fifth time? Something needs to be done about the format of this tournament, cause that should never be the case, playing the same team 5 times.

At this point I couldn't give a shit about the winning team, although I will admit in a way it's nice to see the 2 teams taking this WBC the most serious playing for the final. At least half of their respective rosters didn't drop out with "injuries".

Thats what they said they did with this team. It was a good group of guys, its just they were not prepared.

 

[olbareun]

here we gooooooo finals

 

[Mirimar]

Definitely going to be a low scoring, skillful game. No Doubt.

Anybody have a link to a site where I can stream the game?

Try this.

Not sure if it'll work though.

 

[Blackace]

Well both teams take the WBC serious. I hope America will decide to put out the best team we have and put some more soul into it. I would love to at least see some more young guys get into the act.


Another difference is just the basic "pride" a player takes in being on his country's team. The US is really lacking that...

Thanks...but that is an Italian soccer match

Selig is on the ESPN broadcast and says the owners voted 25-5 to release all their best players for the 2013 tourney

Oops, sorry! Did you end up finding a stream?
Using the link posted earlier..this should be the game.

They agreed before they started the WBC that the owners couldn't say "No" to the players. So that hasn't been the issue. The Players just have not wanted to play.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Fantastic game so far.

 

[Cloudy]

Wow, what a throw..

 

[pinkbunny]

Wow, that play was INSANE.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

wow. that was a great play.
he was safe though but its major league baseball so if the ball beats the runner hes out

 

[Big-E]

wow. that was a great play.

I don't know what Iwamura was doing. He took forever to make the tag. Play shouldn't have been close at all.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

he was safe though but its major league baseball so if the ball beats the runner hes out

I don't think that came out the way you intended it to.

 

[smurfx]

depending on the your local service provider you may get access to espn360.com. its real good quality stream too.

 

[Mirimar]

That last play gave me the same feeling seeing Ichiro's "The Throw" all those years back

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

I don't think that came out the way you intended it to.

huh?
lemme rewrite it for you

He SHOULD HAVE been called safe but because it's major league umpires - if the ball beats the runner to the bag (regardless of the tag), he will be called OUT.

 

[Windu]

wow. that was a great play.
he was safe though but its major league baseball so if the ball beats the runner hes out

Yeah its kinda like Walking to dunk the ball in Basketball.

 

[pinkbunny]

Little does Japan know of Korea's secret weapon hiding in the clubhouse:

 

[mYm|17|]

that looked like it hurt

 

[Windu]

Ouch...next time, I bet he'll go feet first.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

the guys fucking helmet broke as he slide hard into second base.
really funny to compare that to adam dunn's play yesterday
great great game so far

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Damn he looked like he lost a few brain cells when he got up from that. Good effort, but damn.

 

[Mirimar]

It wouldn't surprise me if a home run decides this game....

 

[clemenx]

What a great fucking bunt.

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

That was as perfect a bunt as they get. Ichiro is awesome. Iwakuma has been the one player to really impress me so far in this tournament. Great game.

 

[Windu]

You know what they should do? Have the championship and semifinal games in the previous Champion's country. Like if Japan wins tonight, have the 2013 Championship and Semifinal in Tokyo.

edit: nice DP.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

this is the best baseball game ive seen in a long time
