[checkerboard_charly]

usa just won in the bottom of the 9th on a bases loaded single by a-rod.



good fight in these guys.

 

[vols2345]

oh im sure letting japan hang like that is considered a choke job to some...

 

[milohimself]

Japan's supposed to be one of the best teams in the whole deal...

 

[crazyguy]

has anyone seen the video on the tag up play? I'd love to see how close it really was.

Looked to me like Japan got hosed on that one.

If they didnt have the element of suprise in the attack id say they did :birgits_giggle: sorry...couldnt pass up on the pearl harbor reference

 

[rwemyss]

They did... but at best the game would have gone to extra innings.

 

[milohimself]

Well... We blow. Period. US is currently getting spanked by South Korea.

 

[rwemyss]

Canada exposed them... their defense was horrible in that game. These guys seem to be half-assing it...

 

[tidwell]

Score?

 

[milohimself]

7-1 South Korea in the bottom of the 8th

 

[crazyguy]

btw, we did end up losing that game. we now have to beat mexico to stay in...at least we've already beat them once.

What happens if we beat Mexico and Japan beats Korea AND Mexico? Won't that be a 3-way tie, with only the top 2 moving on?

 

[milohimself]

Yeah, we have to beat Mexico and Japan has to lose to Mexico or Korea.

 

[rwemyss]

If Japan beats both Mexico and Korea then Korea is 2-1, the USA is 2-1, and Japan is 2-1... I'm just wondering what the tiebreak is for that...

 

[GAVol]

I think it's either runs scored or margin of victory.

 

[volfan2024]

It is hard to get fired up about the games because so many guys live and play in our major league. The best I can make out of it is the best pitchers aren't playing, is that a fair observation?

 

[tidwell]

Dontrelle Willis is allegedly a top pitcher...

 

[rwemyss]

Dontrelle Willis is allegedly a top pitcher...

yeah... proved it the last two times he stepped on the field. :bad:

 

[tidwell]

USA loses again 2-1 to the Mexicans... BUT, the retarded rules eliminates Mexico, despite winning.

I see... even though Japan lost today, they advance. But hey, all three teams went 1-2.

 

[tidwell]

Admittedly I didn't follow it enough to get a grasp on the rules... but some of those scenarios were ridiculous.
