Around SBN: Jeremy Lin And How The Pac-12 Missed Him

WBC Update, 3/21/09, 8:00PM MT

Quick WBC Update boys and girls

Korea is destroying Venezuela, 7-0. It's the bottom of the 3rd. I want to know exactly what Luis Sojo was thinking starting Carlos Silva over Felix Hernandez. I'm going to go with Luis Sojo = El Davey Johnson.

The Korean team looks fantastic. The fielding is crisp, the pitching is sharp, and this is the team to beat. Well, I guess this game is win or go home, so yeah, whatever team you're playing becomes the team to beat. But you understand what I'm getting at.

The game is on ESPN and Joe Morgan is commentating. SIGH.

Team USA plays Japan tomorrow, and Thank God they started Roy Oswalt over Jake Peavy.

I just realized the significance of that

Watching the 2nd X-files movie. The one nobody bothered watching.

That’s how poor you expected the game to be? really?

No.

I never had any intention of watching the game.

I thought

they didn’t renew his contract after last season…

As for starting Oswalt

Doesn’t this mean that if they get to the Championship game against Korea Peavy will start? This instinctly tells me that we would be doomed. Let’s beat Japan first.

GO USA!!!

I had to read that like 4 times

But yes. We are putting our best up against Japan, because if we don’t beat Japan, there’s not much left to do other than wish we’d beaten Japan.

I’d much rather beat Japan and then Jake Peavy suddenly remember why he won a Cy Young Award and turn Korea into a laughingstock.

I’d also like a pony.

I don't know how many times the 3 of them said

that the Korean DH won the triple crown in korea. At least like 15 in one AB.
