Cubano Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 (edited) Are you gus following this tournament? Korea came from behind and beat USA 8x7 in the bottom of the 9th. Davey Johnson is the manager for the USA team. You can follow USA here: http://web.usabaseball.com/index.jsp Cuba beat Japan 4x2. There were several cuban shots that hit the wall. I thought the outfield wall would fall down like the Berlin wall. Cuba should have won this game with a bigger margin. Yu Darvish, ran his mouth before the game saying that there are not better hitters than japanese hitters in the olympics. He is supposed to be the next big thing from the so called "second MLB" and he could not pass the 5th. He got rocked good. The japanese league is not the second MLB as MLB and media want everybody to believe. If Cuba would have move its outfielders very shallow, many of these japanese short drives would have been caught. China Taipei beat Holland behind a very good lefty. Canada KO China. Edited August 13, 2008 by Cubano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 What made the USA loss worse was we scored 3 in the top of the 9th to take the lead and than blew it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that you feel terrible that a country that size can't even win a medal, which they pretty much give out for free these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 enjoy it while it lasts, cause this is the last year for olympic baseball... which is some pretty big BS if you ask me. How can you have such sports like badminton in the olympics, but take out baseball? Just plain ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
