While watching Korea-Mexico in the WBC…

• The Korean announcers are like excited puppies on crack.  When anyone on Mexico swings and misses, even with no strikes, they let out a shout.  I don’t understand really anything outside of the Konglish, but it’s entertaining at least.
• Giving up a single to Augie Ojeda must hurt.  He’s three feet tall.
• It’s a small strike zone.  Ryu Hyun Jin is getting punished on it too… he’s had already a handful of strikes called balls already, and it’s just through two innings.
• I’m a little surprised that this isn’t basically a Mexican home game.  With the game in San Diego and everything I can still hear the Koreans chanting “Dae Haeminguk,” basically “Go Korea.”
• Lee Bum Ho- great name by the way- absolutely destroyed an Oliver Perez pitch, and the announcers went nuts.  I’m gonna have to try and find that on YouTube…
• Next man up followed with a single, and the announcers went nuts.  There might be a theme here…
• I really hope that it’s a Korea-USA final… That’d be good fun.  Be good to get on my students about that.  Seung Hee was already getting on me about having to root for Korea there… I pretty much told her no chance in hell.

• 

  She's a cutie

• Wow… a stolen base… and guess what?  Yep, the announcers went nuts.
• Adrian Gonzalez just lined a single off the pitcher’s toe.  That would hurt like hell.
• I’m incredibly unhappy that I have to go to work.  This should be a national holiday damnit… Time to get ready.
