World Baseball Classic: The Empire Strikes Back
Was very pleased to watch Japan beat Korea last night 6-0. The Koreans made for a great story, but their shameful, gloating performance after beating Japan last week made for a karmic necessity of whacking them down a peg.
It is hereby noted that Japan did not prance around the field after their huge victory last night, nor did they plant their flag on the pitchers mound. They acted with dignity.
Now it is Cuba vs Japan for the title this Monday night. Cuba should be the favorite. But I'll root for Japan.
Today's NY Post quotes Bobby Valentine as saying that Japan was " bullied " into participating in the WBC. Now they're nine innings from winning it.
