-The Chinese shortstop (American born) was unreal
-The color commentator in the Taiwan-Chine uttered the phrases "I know all these guys look the same" and "the little guy / that little guy". An easy 8 on the unintentional comedy scale.
-And why would Sportsnet cut away from a 3-2 game in the bottom of the ninth, with runners on? Split screen anyone? Anyone?

-I love having a former Edmonton Cracker-Cat (and Sherwood Park A's and Montreal Expos) member starting the opening game for Canada.
No idea but it was really irritating. I had no plans whatsoever of watching the WBC today but that Nederlands/DR game sucked me in early.
