Canada just beat Korea 4-3 in baseball...Canada qualified for Beijing.
I was at the gym earlier and all the dudes were around the tv watching it. My treadmill was parked right in front! They were not liking me..they were making a point to let me know everytime Canada got an out.
Oh well, Korea did well and I think their record still gets them in. Canada is in....felt good to watch!
Good job Canuck boys!

| Sadly, everyone's penis stayed the same size. So, really, there were no winners this day. |

I loved how every game they won got a huge column in the Ktimes. but when they lose to Canada it's just a meaningless game that gets a sentence worth in a column about how Korea is a world baseball power. True, it was a meaningless game, but now that we beat them once we have the edge mentally. Besides, they were playing countries that aren't exactly known for baseball.. It'll be interesting what the spin will be when they play the big players (US, Japan, etc) how well they'll do.. |

Aren't they taking baseball out of the Olympics after this year?
Nobody much plays it.
(And I don't blame them.) |

Yeah, its interesting how they dismissed this loss as meaningless...considering how the day before the manager of Korea was saying how important this game was as they would likely meet Canada in the olympics, and how they would use thier best starter and start thier best players.
Even with Korea's best, they failed to beat Canada's lesser players. Korea is using thier best players from the K-League and the J-league. Canada's best players are all in Spring training right now in the MLB.
Its fun to watch the Olympics baseball tourney, but the Fall classic is a much better test of a nations true baseball prowess. |

Yet Canada's MLBers were able to beat America's MLBers... strange.
I know, it was just a fluke. And unlike some wacked out Korean netizens I'm not about to go off into fantasy land and claim my country is a better baseballing nation than the US becuase of one game. But, Canada ain't all that bad. Mourneau, Bay, Bedard, Francis, Harden, Martin: Great players. Definitely better than anything Korea could serve up. |

| Yeah, Canada had all AAA, AA and even single A players. How many times did Lee Seung Yeop strike out? At least twice. It's too bad we couldn't field better players, but beating Korean and Taiwan is pretty big. |

After the ongoing massacre in Tibet some countries might start to pull out of the games...  |

| It would be the right thing to do as China is about as opposite the Olympic ideal as you can get (aside from Dafur and North Korea). I guess this is what happens when the IOC chooses the host nations based on who gives the biggest bribe. Another nightmare for the IOC. |

Maybe not the biggest bribe but a huge country (the most populated in the World) that came out into the spotlight. On the one hand it's a country that we can't ignore, on the other it's so diverse with rich and poor, technocrats and subsistence farming, growth and development of its citizens and mass deaths of students. It really is a dichotomy.
Hang on, doesn't this sound like the country that we all got to love in '88? |
