Our Canuck seems pretty down that Canada has been eliminated from the World Baseball Classic. It's the biggest surprise of the tournament thus far.

- I'm glad to see the US won their first two games. Getting Canada and Venezuela to start the tournament is as tough of a draw as anyone else had. The pitching depth on the US frankly seems like crap compared to the sort of pitching depth we could have if spring training [...]...

Sunday morning, feel the excitement. Ah, nothing quite like a little elimination baseball to add some zest to your hideously early Sunday morning. China and Korea face off here, and the loser will be heading back home. Red vs. Blue! Great Wall vs. Thunderstix! Team that was defeated by Japan vs. Tea...
