I am jonesing for Baseball so badly that I stayed up last night and watched most of the Japan vs. China game despite having to work this morning.  All in all it was a good game, some notes:

Sadaharu Oh threw out the first pitch, it is sad he couldn't coach Japan this year, especially after they won it all last time!

Japan won 4-0

Ichiro went 0 for 5

Japanese 3rd Baseman Shuichi Murata hit a 2-run bomb

The Chinese team is small! Only one guy was over 200 pounds.  Most of their players are slap hitters.

Yu Darvish = Really good.  He threw four hitless innings.  Why isn't this guy in MLB?

I am thinking about going to the semifinals in LA.  Do you all think I should go?
