Before I get into the results of the latest series, lets see [...]

You can view the state of the game here at the World Baseball Classic website. In the Grand Final between Japan and Korea, on the top of the 5th Japan lead 1:0 with runners on first and third with no outs. I’m not into baseball, but very much into Japan-Korean relations. Update: Top of the [...]
