      interesting

      My sources have informed me that this is indeed the last World Cup. The World Baseball Classic will be the World Championship event, and in the off years, so in 2015 and 2019 they will hold the Premier 12 Tournament. The Premier 12 Tournament will consist of the top 12 teams from the prior World Baseball Classic. It is believed that the Premier Tournament will be run under similar rules as the World Cup, meaning no 40 man roster players and such..

      Interesting...

            Looks like my pick of Australia was correct. I got 7 out of 8 teams right, which I think is pretty good, my only error being choosing the Dominican Republic over South Korea. The Dominicans could have made it with better managing and/or relief pitching.

              USA is playing terrible unless we can get on a roll were not sniffing the medal games. Also, Australia has been on a tear offensively, I personally would like to see them or the Dutch take the gold.

                True dat.if the USA doesn't win. I don't want Cuba to win I'm tired of them going to the finals every year. I like to see a new country like the Dutch or any country for that matter.

                    Definitely made a resurgence after the atrocious opening three games. I would have gone with the DR too, they've been a huge disappointment in this tourney.

                      Australia is on a roll but they still need to lift a little in the next phase of the contest. Cuba is usually the team to beat because they take this competition very seriously and don't have to rely on MLB players for their strength. Is this being televised anywhere in USA?

                      No matter how good you are, you're going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you're going to win one-third of your games. It's the other third that makes the difference. ~Tommy Lasorda

                        As far as I know, no US TV this time around. MLB Network carried a few games in 2009, but there were no MLB playoffs going on at the same time in '09...

                            Cuba is playing tough because they've lost the last two Cups. This is more of a matter of pride for them.
