Go USA! It would be nice to see Peavy keep his pitch count down and go at least 5 tonight. After Braun's 3-4 the other night he better be in the lineup.

I was going to purchase the mlb.tv feed to watch these games but mlb.tv. is blacking out the semis and the finals, so why would I pay $20.00 to watch the first two rounds only? I dont get the blackouts.

Quoth Wikipedia:

In international baseball competitions sanctioned by the IBAF, including Olympic competition and the World Baseball Classic (WBC), games are currently ended when one team is ahead by 10 runs, once at least seven completed innings are played by the trailing team. In women's competition, the same applies after five innings.

Man that game was brutal. I know Puerto Rico is good, but for the USA to be run ruled vs. anyone is just pathetic. Braun did have a hit though that was nice. Gotta beat Netherlands tomorrow or it's another exit to soon by the US. Hopefully this showing can motivate these guys to get their butts in gear. It just seemed the entire game that PR was hustling more and just playing with more fire. Doesn't help though I guess when Peavy is out there getting lit up and they don't pull him.
