If A-Rod is not going to play (cyst in hip) that would hurt the Dominican's chances significantly.

I hope the US can make a charge for the title but I am afraid Japan might repeat. Yu Darvish is a stud.

Blame Canada....wonder if they'll beat the USA in the WBC yet again...LOL

To follow up on my Yu Darvish comment - He just threw 4 innings without allowing a hit, struck out 3 and walked 1 and got the win against China.

Its only a matter of time before he is pitching in MLB somewhere...hopefully the Mets. New York is obviously a huge market and the Bobby Valentine connection will help the Mets' case.

Congratulations on getting JJ Putz from the Mariners...Ugh...I think

The U.S. team is behind the Dominican Republic, at +225.

Cmon! even with A-rod, if he plays, we've got to have more firepower
