日本三壘守村田修一火力示範

Japan tops Korea, advances in Classic

TOKYO -- A much-anticipated pitching matchup between Daisuke Matsuzaka of Japan and Korea's Kwang Hyun Kim never developed in Game 4 of Pool A action at the 2009 World Baseball Classic.

Instead, it was a hitters' game as the Japanese stunned the Koreans, 14-2, while amassing 14 hits. The game was called after seven innings because of the mercy rule.

China keeps Classic hope alive

TOKYO -- Terry Collins has never been to China, but he may have earned hero status in the country. His Team China scored early and rode good performances by three pitchers to defeat rival Chinese Taipei, 4-1, in a World Baseball Classic Pool elimination game on Saturday at Tokyo Dome.
Collins帶領的中國擊敗台灣，讓台灣成了本屆WBC第一個出局的隊伍(其他三組共12支球隊都還沒開打勒~)

It was China's second consecutive victory over Chinese Taipei, having beaten it, 8-7, in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. By winning, China stays alive and goes on to play again Sunday night against Japan or Korea. Chinese Taipei has been eliminated from the World Baseball Classic tournament.
這是中國連續兩次擊敗台灣，上一次就是不久前的北京奧運
這場比賽讓中國得以明天和日本或南韓爭取最後晉級的名額

Korea makes grand statement in rout

TOKYO -- Right-fielder Jin Young Lee belted a grand slam to cap a six-run first inning and propel Team Korea to a 9-0 win over Chinese Taipei in World Baseball Classic Pool A action on Friday night at Tokyo Dome.
李晉暎的滿貫砲讓南韓在一局下就一口氣攻下6分，最後9:0擊敗中華

Following a bases loaded two-run single to left by cleanup hitter Tae Kyun Kim, Lee connected off Chinese Taipei starter Chen-Chang Lee, who was knocked out after throwing 27 pitches. His control was not there, as he walked three and hit one Korean batter before giving up the grand slam.
這一發也把控球找不到準心、面對六個人就送了3次保送和1個觸身的李振昌給轟了下去...(哭哭~)

Japan silences China in Classic opener

Team Japan had a much harder time with China than three years earlier, but the Samurai wound up giving the sellout crowd at Tokyo Dome a victory to cheer Thursday in the opening game of the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
衛冕的日本在2009WBC開幕戰幹掉了中國

The defending Classic champions did not get on the scoreboard until the third inning but put enough offense together to take a 4-0 victory in Pool A play over a Chinese team that showed marked improvement over 2006.
僅管前三局得分都掛零，最後還是打下了四分擊敗大幅進步的中國

Starting pitcher Yu Darvish, the 23-year-old right-handed sensation of Japanese-Iranian descent, didn't allow a hit through four innings to get the victory. Darvish (1-0) struck out three before turning the game over for the fifth inning to Hideaki Wakui, who gave up a single to Fei Feng for China's first of five hits.
達比修有丟了四局沒有被打出任何安打還送了3K，順利拿下勝投

相較於老美，日韓看起來非常認真
其實我想也不是看在WBC的名號，而是光亞洲地區的預賽
日韓勢必交手的情況下就足以讓他們擺出最好的陣容了

這幾年日本常常在輸韓國一定想打爆對方
韓國贏了幾場日本後更加不怕日本(好像只有我們在怕?)
日韓大戰我猜還是WBC中最精彩好看的吧XD

黃金內野！！！
不只有砲還有腿
小亨利+Reyes這兩個最棒的游擊開路先鋒組成一二棒的話
對手就真的頭痛了
後面再加上Ortiz+A-Rod新左右門神，Beltre、Tejada補刀
真是令人期待

一如上屆，本屆的經典賽依舊不怎麼經典
但是，基本上像美國這種國家要組隊
隨便抓一抓人也就差不多有奪冠本錢了

20092月號的美國職棒雜誌對勇士fans來說非常感傷
這期回顧了去年天殘地缺的慘狀，也提到了Maddux大師的引退
更提到了John Smoltz的愛我別走
張震嶽的歌聲依稀浮現，慷慨激昂、悲從中來......

好啦沒那麼誇張，除了這些哀傷的消息外
"馬路消息"單元倒是提供了驚人的訊息---
運動家GM-Billy Beane
以Moneyball理論創造2000年代運動家以小博大的驚人故事
即將搬上大螢幕！！！

水手有這種結果，實在不另人意外
紅襪就算沒補到鐵爺，打線還是不容小覷
但勇士倒是驚為天人---他們lineups有這麼猛哦?!

太誇張了！果然有錢人的生活我們無法想像
之前的Top 10 free agents當中，先是第二名的Sabathia、第四名的Burnett被簽下
現在Cashman一出手就直接通殺，以180M/8yr的價錢簽下了第一名的鐵爺！
讓出價也不低的紅襪天使只能到一旁哭哭
