WBC Pool C (First Round) GameThread: USA vs. Venezuela, 5p

Opening a thread for tonight's matchup between the US, who clawed out a 6-5 victory over Canada, and Venezuela, who blanked Italy 7-nil. There is absolutely no information on the starting pitchers or game preview on MLB.com as of 1:30p; you'd think they didn't want their own event to succeed.

But if there was ever a time for long-time SoSG reader Karina to return to this website, this would be it. Have at it, fans.

USA scores two in the top of the fourth! 2-1 USA, DeRosa with a bigtime triple...

The US sure leaves a lot of people on base.

Nice of Oswalt to give the lead back up again.

And how many GIDPs are US fans gonna see?

Hey, GIDP's are one way to reduce LOB's.

Bases-clearing triple! 6-3 USA!

Eric Karros said...

Not sure how it happened, but 10-3 USA!

Venezuela's bullpen was awful. USA up 14-5, but Jeter strands a runner at third, leaving us one run short of the mercy rule.
