The foul ball buzzer is really starting to irritate me. 

This tournament's format seems very unstable. DR has now lost twice in the "knockout round," including its initial game in a losers' bracket. Shouldn't they be completely eliminated with the next US-Korea game loser getting bronze and the winner playing Japan for gold? DR now gets an extra day rest to play for a medal.

Yeah, I had read the bracket to be that way until I saw an article this morning that said DR would still play the loser of the US-Korea game for the bronze.  It makes no sense.  It also makes no sense that Japan is undefeated but if they lose their next game to a one loss team they only get silver.  Someone should have gone back and studied the old NCAA 6 team regional double elimination brackets.

Nobody watched this morning before work? USA beats South Korea 7-2. Advances to gold medal game Saturday morning at 5am.

Melky Cabrera just hit a rbi double and DR is up 5-2 on SK in the bronze medal game on CNBC.

Korea has tied it in the 5th and DR is on their 4th pitcher of the inning.

DR's first baseman is a big old boy.

Yes. I commented on this when we played them. I said he's large even for Latin first baseman standards. 

Tuning in for this but I'll probably pass out here pretty soon. Go US - would be cool to take gold in both basketball and baseball in grudge matches.

The fact that I had to google wtf repechage meant tells you all you need to know about the tournament format. 

The basketball tournament format is dumb, too. 12 teams across 3 groups play a group stage to get down to... 8 teams for a quarterfinal single elimination. 

And again...this would be so awesome with fans.

Frazier already chirping at the home plate umpire.

And almost hit a bomb. 

Nice knock there.

Man... nice catch. 

You could make a half decent MLB team with these rosters. I mean... as good as the Rangers.

FUCK another one almost sent out. Gotta get one of these.

Obviously I want us to win this but Japan winning would be cool for them. I've always thought their baseball culture and love of the game to be one of the more interesting phenomenons in the wide world of sports.

Well this guy sure as shit pitches to contact. Need to make him pay for it.

"In Japan they don't teach the launch angle approach"

Shohei must have missed that memo.

Clutch by Frazier. How about a K, Nick?

MASSIVE. LETS GO BOYS!

You have to swing at that. C'mon man. 

Decent inning. Lot of game left. Just don't let them tack anything else on. We'll find a couple at some point.

that ball was high. bb turns into a k.

I thought it was pretty money. His zone is low though. 

Damn. Sit. Your. Asses. Down. 

Let's go bats.

Good to know a couple plucky upstarts without much success are squaring off in the men's soccer final. 

Leadoff walk.  Let's go!

Really, really wanted that ball gone just now.

A one game series for the gold is a cruel fucking mistress. 

This game is somehow making me way more nervous than the basketball game did. And I care less.

Fuck. I would have swung on that 3-0.

Motherfucker. 9 left.

They are so god damn disciplined and lights out on D. Nothing easy.

swung at ball four. damn it. 

I was hoping that foul ball to right would drop or get over. We just can't get one when we need it. 

That was a clear tag and a dumbass mistake by Nippon. We'll take what we can get. 

Okay... decent outcome. Come on guys. 

Line one up the right!

Good job, good effort flag bearer

Cocksucking fuck dammit. It's like we're watching a bunch of washed up vets and AA players.

 

Oh wait...

Rosin bag talk not going away.  Fucking Eduardo

Freddie Freeman is coming on to pinch hit the next 2 innings, right? 

Right?
