WBC - USA vs. Japan

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 03:21 PM

Ichiro led off the game with a solo shot, but Peavy settled down to get out of the inning with no other damage.

Bottom of the 1st - Jeter just beat out a sac bunt to put guys on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Griffey up.

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 03:33 PM

3-0 Japan now...

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 03:34 PM

F'n Peavy

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 03:35 PM

Nice grab, Larry...

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 03:39 PM

LARRY!

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 03:40 PM

Sweet!

(This is the only time I will root for Chipper.)

I 100% agree...

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 04:29 PM

Jeez...Japan is making great defensive plays all over the place.

ISiddiqui · 03-12-2006, 04:45 PM

Nice HR by Derrick Lee!

TIE GAME!

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 04:46 PM

Derrick Lee goes yard!!!

3-3

ISiddiqui · 03-12-2006, 05:05 PM

This is a big spot here... man on 1st, 2nd - 2 outs, Ichiro up. Fuentes having some control issues.

Get him out!

ISiddiqui · 03-12-2006, 05:05 PM

Sweet! Inning over!

SirFozzie · 03-12-2006, 05:23 PM

A-Rod up in a big situation.. and he.. chokes.

of course

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 05:37 PM

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 05:38 PM

dola -

Woot!!!!

He left third early!!!!

TazFTW · 03-12-2006, 05:38 PM

oykib · 03-12-2006, 05:38 PM

That was just weird with the sac fly...

This'll lead to controversy.

TazFTW · 03-12-2006, 05:38 PM

This is where people say the WBC is rigged for the US.

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 05:40 PM

It seemed to me that there was a definite possibility that he left early...for such a shallow fly ball, the runner scored awfully easy.

edit - just saw the replay and I couldn't tell either way

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 05:40 PM

Nope...he didn't leave early.

THE FIX IS IN!!!

oykib · 03-12-2006, 05:43 PM

On the replay doesn't look like he left early.

oykib · 03-12-2006, 05:44 PM

The US better score at least two runs now.

oykib · 03-12-2006, 05:50 PM

I tell you it's funny watching the Japanese broadcast.

They showed the replay like twice. Finally the color guy goes, "It doesn't look like he left early, huh?" Then they didn't mention it again.

They just showed on the game-til-now recap and barely mentioned the controversy. They showed that the manager came out to chat about it with the ump. But there was nothing about how terrible the call was.

wait, there's more than that going on right now? they show the replay every time there's a stoppage of play on espn.

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:01 PM

YES!!

Nice strikeout from Lidge to end the ninth.

oykib · 03-12-2006, 06:02 PM

Lidge was giving me a case of nerves there. Nice strikeout, though.

General Mike · 03-12-2006, 06:04 PM

what a great game.

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:09 PM

Wow...can't belive they didn't get the out there.

1st and 2nd with no outs in the ninth for the US.

Easy Mac · 03-12-2006, 06:11 PM

uh oh. japan may call foul. however, it is obvious he never touched the bag (never in the sense that never before wynn was safe)

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:12 PM

Nice play to get the guy at third.

Nope they only showed the screen-within-a-screen twice.

When wells came up they mentioned it for the first time since that inning.

BTW, terrible bunt.

Solecismic · 03-12-2006, 06:12 PM

That was a bunting situation and it illustrates exactly why you should never bunt unless it's absolutely necessary or the defense is horribly out of position.

Easy Mac · 03-12-2006, 06:13 PM

too much fucking bunting.

and slide into the bag, don't lift your leg up like a dog taking a piss. young was 3-4 today, just let him hit

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:13 PM

And he nails Jeter...bases loaded, one out with my man Griffey up.

oykib · 03-12-2006, 06:13 PM

What are they booing about?

That obviously wasn't intentional.

Easy Mac · 03-12-2006, 06:14 PM

jeter gets hit!!!! i never thought i would say thank god for jeter, yet here we are

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:14 PM

Mark my words, Griff will get it done.

Easy Mac · 03-12-2006, 06:16 PM

has griffey gotten fat or is that just a bad uniform?

oykib · 03-12-2006, 06:17 PM

Unghhh!

vtbub · 03-12-2006, 06:17 PM

Ouch, swing at ball 4.

Solecismic · 03-12-2006, 06:17 PM

Looking mighty old and impatient on that at bat.

Easy Mac · 03-12-2006, 06:18 PM

arod = greatest player man will ever know. mark my words.

He's put on a bunch of weight over the past few years in his rehab efforts...

Strikeout or not, he's still awesome.

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:19 PM

Game!!

vtbub · 03-12-2006, 06:19 PM

A-ROD!!!!!

oykib · 03-12-2006, 06:19 PM

A-rod... that choker!

VPI97 · 03-12-2006, 06:19 PM

Wow...great game to watch...best ballgame I've seen in a few years.

TazFTW · 03-12-2006, 06:19 PM

Arod comes through?

General Mike · 03-12-2006, 06:20 PM

way to go A-Rod!

Easy Mac · 03-12-2006, 06:20 PM
