Taiwan and China were eliminated as I predicted. Korea came back from a devastating 14-2 loss to Japan to win the pool with a 1-0 shut out against them. Tatsunori Hara, the Japanese team's coach, probably said it the best, "A shutout loss after scoring 14 runs -- that's baseball.". Anyways, both Japan and Korea will proceed to the next pool which I'm sure is making the other countries very very nervous (Japan having had won the classic in 2006 and Korea being the Beijing Olympics champs).
In other news (Pool D), a total upset for the DR, losing 3-2 to the Netherlands....the Netherlands...no one loses to the Netherlands...well not no one, but certainly no one was expecting the DR to take such a fall. They still have a chance to redeem themselves against Panama and move on to the next pool.
I can't wait for games to start moving to the States...so I can finally watch them (Up till now, most games have been in Japan, which means that they've been on at like 4-5 in the morning...).
I hope all is well with everyone...oh and...
PLAY BALL!~

I've never heard you speak a word regarding baseball. Ever.
ReplyDeleteHaha, glad you're enjoying it though. You realize that you now have to continue updating until the conclusion or I will forever wonder what happened with the Dutch.
