If anyone here wants to watch some more baseball, there willbe a game tonight and tomorrow.

On Thursday, the 'Konami Cup' started. It's a small 4 game series between the champions of Korea, China, Taiwan, and Japan.

Thursday, SK (KOrea's champions) took on Chunichi Dragons (Japanese champions) and beat them 6-3. Good game.

Yesterday, SK beat the holy snot out of the Chinese All-Stars, 13-0. It was called in the 7th inning.

Today, SK will face Taiwan. It should be a good, close game.

Tomorrow, the 2 teams with the best records will play 1 more final game to determine the winners. The smart money is on SK making it to the fianl game.

These guys are probably the best way too keep up on the series in English.

SK beat Taiwan, 13-1 yesterday. Another called game.

I am watching now, as SK and Chunichi play the final game. It's 2-0 for Sk at the top of the 2nd.

As Sk defeated Chunichi on Thursday, if Japan wins today, expect a big uproar from Korean fans, because 'we beat them before'.

I think the Japanese team will win by default, because the Korean team will be caught at anma's and other whore houses and end up playing hungover.

Yeah, then we can incoherintly call the captain of the SK team a washed up loser who has always been bad. Yeah, that would make a lot of sense wouldnt it...

Do baseball teams even have captains?

Actually, I have to admit, Koreans are pretty good at baseball. Much better than they are at soccer. And if they lose today, there's no shame. In 3 years of Konami Cup action, Japan has only lost 1 game. And it was last Thursday to SK. Chunichi is a damn good team and hard to beat. Not to mention the stars on their team are paid nearly 10x the stars of SK.

It's 5-3 for Chunichi last I checked. It'll be hard to make a comeback at this point.

gotta be proud of our guys, like you said the Japanese players are paid a lot more and they have a great farm system. Still, I wish we would have beat them. I am getting tired of these baseball tourneys where you get nothing for going undefeated in the group stage and lose in the one game final.

Yeah it sucks. But it happens. Hindsight is 20/20.

If the coach has put in Rayborn in game 1 and saved 김광현 for the final game, I think SK would have pulled it off.
