Open Thread, WBC: Mexico vs Korea

The US is playing somewheres, but I think I'd rather watch Mexico vs Korea. At least those two countries actually care about international competition and Mexico obviously features the Fighting Gonzali of San Diego Padres fame.

In other news, would the US care more about their own WBC team if their uniforms were more interesting? Why not red, white and blue with pinstripes say... Or Red, white, blue and black. That'd be something.

In yet other news, the Mexico team hat is fantastic.

I'm watching the U.S. team

Look at that double play by Rollins. I’d like to see Mexico try that!

What's the best baseball game for PS3?

I am by no means a gamer but I recently became the accidental owner of a PS3. How does one accidentally acquire such a thing you ask? A few weeks ago I loaned one of my employees $80 and he gave it to me to hold as collateral; he promptly stopped showing up for work and answering his phone- fine by me!

Get The Show

It’s in house Sony, and it’s rated way better.

Next, play Killzone 2 and Flower.

For your backlog, play Bioshock, CoD4, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Fallout 3.

They should change the All Star game so that it's a playoff

Really?!
Yerrup 8-0 in the 8th, the guy hits a long ball, saves face for his team being shut out (which even if they had of been shut out it wasn’t a humiliating run for them considering how far they got) and you gotta hit someone? Teach ’em a lesson?

You did notice

That he came out of the game with the trainer after that?

Maybe he didn’t do it on purpose?

I have to think that a pitcher wants to hit a guy he’d just do it instead of throwing one way behind the guy.
