Japan Wins

I was rooting for Cuba to win the World Baseball Classic. Oh well. The interesting thing about these two teams is that at one point neither was even going to be in the WBC. Cuba, because of United States law, and Japan, because they didn't like the way it was being organized. Actually, it was because of money. Cuba wasn't allowed to profit off the WBC and Japan didn't think it was getting a big enough piece of the pie.

All in all, I enjoyed the WBC. Its neat to see other teams and countries play ball and have a geniune love for the game. Its kinda why I enjoy watching college baseball.

i didnt really like how the pool play was organized

korea goes 6-0, loses one game to a team they beat twice, and they are out?

that just didnt make sense.

but yeah, we shouldnt have ARod play next time, seeing how every team he is on loses.
