WBC Regional Grudge Match Chat: Korea vs. Japan, 1 am PT
2006-03-04 23:59
by Bob Timmermann

Live from the Tokyo Dome

Both teams have already advanced to the second round in Anaheim and are playing this one for national pride, which is no small matter between these two countriers. The two teams will meet again in the second round on March 15 at 7 pm PT at Angel Stadium. And they could conceivably meet a third time in the semifinals in San Diego on March 18. However, USA manager Buck Martinez has already named starting pitcher for the semifinals. Before playing a single game.

Korea will likely start Sunny Kim and Japan should start Shunsuke Watanabe on the mound for this one.

The winner of the game gets full claim to Takeshima/Tokdo and the right to call the body of water separating the two nations either The Sea of Japan or the East Sea. Seriously, it would be better if more international disputes were settled this way, but I'm also glad that baseball isn't just politics carried out by other means.

I had THIRTEEN Lees in my high school class. Although they all had americanized names, somewhat luckily, no one had the same first name. If they had played baseball Im sure the couch would have used first names to make out the lineup card.

Being a man who likes sleep, I missed the game.

But the rematch should be great. Sounds like this was the game of the tournament.

Seung-Yeop Lee is in the early lead for MVP of the tournament.

KOREA PLAYS KOREA! AWESOME!

I must admit that while searching for tickets to watch Korea play at Anaheim Stadium, my first instinct was to search for POOL A RUNNER-UP games....
