I was at the game between the Dominican Republic and the USA and the place was electric. Though I am pulling for Team Puerto Rico, I was pulling for the USA. I have to tell you, until the US starts sending their very best, there is no way they will match the line-up the DR had.

And now in the second round, you have Puerto Rico, DR and the USA. It will be very tough for the US to get out of that bracket/round.

One thing I'm wondering about is, if the game(s) left are in the US and USA is in it, why is Japan designated the Home team, batting last ?

Did they go by overall record or something like that ?

Is anyone else watching this series ?

 

[Jimbo]

USA moves on to the Final game with a 2-1 win over Japan.

Finals tonight at 9pm est.

USA vs Puerto Rico

Congratulations to the USA World Baseball team for winning the WBC this year.

USA 8
PR 0
Final

And to think, this was not even the very best of the USA players.
