Re: World Baseball Classic '09 - Discussion Thread

Next time I hope they get the japan announcers. I am tired of Joe and Steve.

It's 1 am in the morning, normally, I'd have some witty line about how much Joe Morgan sucks but I'm out of them right now.

Easily

This is a game a true baseball fan would appreciate. I hope those guys clamoring for "their" guys to come back to Spring Training are enjoying their boring Monday night

I'm having a damn good time right now with this game.

Yeah, same here. As someone who's been to Japan and experienced their culture along with watching a few ballgames over there on television, it's really awesome. Granted, the only guy's who name I can pronounce properly and remember is Tyrone Woods:

Well, you would get know the other teams strengths and weakness.

I wish I could see the NPB and KBO here. I love MLB, but there's something beautiful about the way Japan and Korea play baseball.

I wish this was the atmosphere last night when I was there. Dammit.

Anybody else notice the guy doing the stadium announcements sounds like Zordon? Not the guy doing Japanese or Korean translations, but the dude speaking English. I swear it's Zordon.

"I've seen footage of Ichiro in a Japanese game, before he came here, hitting a pitch that bounced and it was a home run." - Jon Miller

So is he lying, being an idiot, or not remembering correctly?
