Team USA Key to Canada’s Success Well it looks like Team USA was the Key to Canada’s success, at least at the box office for the WBC. Last night’s game against Italy drew under 13,000 fans. As we all know by now Saturday’s game vs the USA had over 42,000 in attendance. Of cou...

I will add more to this post later. Maybe.What you need to know is that Kwang-Hyun Kim -- the 20-year-old who pitched Korea to a gold medal in the Olympics last year -- apparently couldn't repeat the feat at the WBC, and was roughed up for 8 runs in only an inning and a half of work, culminating in ...
