    Anybody watching this? The US is playing Mexico right now on ESPN 2. Japan and Korea already advanced out of pool A.

    The announcers have also mentioned that Clemens looks like his old self in the practice camp.

    I think it's nothing but a feeble attempt to get baseball back in the Olympics. I'll pass...

    Clemens wanted to pitch in this to show everyone he can still pitch and raise his asking price.

    I stayed up late last week to watch the Japan/Korea/China games. I am looking forward to seeing these games. Having a job really cuts you out of watching these games.

    Rocket Fan, sounds like that announcer has it out for the Astros.

    I don't think MLB cares one crap about returning baseball to the Olympics.

    The WBC is:

    1) to make money
    2) to save face
    3) to recruit talent

    i posted in the other thread about the Astros.

    Carlos Hernandez gave up a 3 run bomb to David Ortiz.

    I actually thinks its pretty cool.....beats spring training.

    It depends. If Canada beats us, they hold the tiebreaker over us if it ever came to that.
