Ichiro on 2nd.  No outs.

Japan MUST come through or they'll regret it the rest of the summer...

Pop foul out to third.  Ack!

Two fly ball outs and the side is retired.

Place your bets for Korea vs. Cuba.  Japan can't buy a hit with RISP.

I'm surprised by Cuba's showing.  I guess those mysterious dudes really CAN play ball.  I think most people were betting on the Dominicans vs the USA in the championship game.

Man, the ball is NOT carrying in the frosty Petco Park outfield tonight.  Helps the pitchers; the outfield defense has added pressure now.

Two long flyball outs and Uehara is out of another inning.

I think they can go up to 95 pitches in this game.  Being that the longball isn't a factor tonight, it's no wonder the pitchers are dominating.  Soon the managers will bust out the smallball.

Something's gonna break.  A single home run or something.

Uehara strikes out the 2nd batter but the catcher caught it on the hop and had to make the putout at first.  Notice that the home plate umpire called the strike but signaled "safe."  The past ALCS (Anaheim-Chicago) taught all MLB umpires a little something.

"Nine-pitch inning for Uehara," said Jon Miller on ESPN.  Six full innings in the book.

What are they gonna play during the 7th inning stretch??

Ogasawara scores on a ground-rule double!  And BK is outta there.

That's what you get for hitting batters!  Give 'em another out and that's what happens.

How many pitches does Uehara have left?

FWIW, Kim's Arizona Diamondbacks still won the Series after he gave up those game-winning dingers against the Yankees.  So it ain't over yet.

Gads, another pinch hitter and then a pitching changes.  THIS is the American influence on baseball: endless pitching changes.  ZZzzz...

Well, this is the only time I'll be post whoring all year I guess.

Two-out pinch single drives in the fourth run of the inning, ALL charged to B.H. Kim.

Still, it ain't over cause you can't run out the clock in baseball.  Korea will get their chances with the bat.
