    Isn't it better that it happened now so he'll be ready for opening day instead of in two weeks so he wasn't?

    Who do you root for? One already bombed us and the other would probably like to.

    Bad move putting this game (the highlight of the month long tournament and key to marketing it next time) on so late. I'm rooting for the Japenese.

    it probably never stopped being sore, he hurt it fairly badly last year, and he isn't exactly known for his superior offseason workouts. I doubt the WBC did much, it's a chrocic shoulder problem, those don't go away without surgery, and often don't even with it

    Ya wanna know what the problem with the WBC is? Baseball does not lend itself to a 1 game series. Especially with starting pitchers who are afraid to go deep and hurt themselves. I for one don't think that it's coincidence that Japan and Cuba are both pretty much filled with non-major league players.

    For all the naysaying and limits to what they could do.... I thought it turned out pretty well. Congrats to Jap.

    Good for Japan. They don't hate us anymore, right? That's how I root for teams in international competition these days, who hates us less.

    So I hear A-Rod won't be playing.

    I also hear games start in an hour.

    Yeah he has a sore hip... I guess when you stop cheating your body starts to break down. He'll be fine though once he gets some more Dominican candy in him. (I'm being sarcastic)

    It's a shame as I'm sure he would have loved to play for the DR in his hometown of Miami. I'm stoked as there is a good possibility I'll see Japan and Cuba when I go to San Diego next week. Maybe it's just me but would anybody mind seeing these two go at it again at Dodger Stadium. I actually hope alot of Japanese are there as I've always wanted to go to a Japanese League game for the atmosphere but I guess this is the next best thing.

    That is exactly what they said on Sporting News today. They were saying that ARod's hip problems could be directly related to steroid abuse.
