March 19, 2009
Well the US is bruised and battered and lost to Venezuela, but Team USA gets to move onto the WBC Semifinals for a shot at the winner of Pool 1. There was talk about the Baseball Classic not being that meaningful, but there are plenty of folks who have been buying World Baseball Classic tickets so far. And now that we are down to the final best teams, it seems like the excitement is going to get even bigger. If you are in California, or can get there, you’ve got to check out what’s available for WBC tickets because these are some games you don’t want to miss. There is just something special about a baseball team representing an entire country, and you can feel it when you walk into the baseball stadium. Some people say the Baseball Classic doesn’t mean anything, but from watching a game its hard to see how people think that. These players play to win and have been giving their all as they try to win the whole thing. Boston’s Kevin Youkilis has had to leave the team, but he was playing hurt for at least his last game. Don’t pas up a chance at seeing history made and get your WBC tickets as soon as you can because there is still some great international baseball action to be seen in the World Baseball Classic. There are just four teams left in the WBC Semifinals.
The WBC Semifinals will be played on Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22 at LA’s Dodgers Stadium. This is a fantastic place to enjoy a baseball game, especially when you have some international teams as talented as these. We still don’t know what teams will face who, but we know the four teams that will participate. From Pool 1 we have Japan and Korea, who play Thursday night to decide the seeding. While Japan came out swinging in their first game against Korea, winning 14 – 2, Korea was able to take the second game of Round 1 with a 1 – 0 victory. The teams have already played once in Round 2, when Korea once again beat Japan, this time 4 – 1. From Pool 2 Team USA and Venezuela will play. Venezuela beat Team USA in the last game of round 2 play and will face the runner up of Pool 1.
Team Japan has to be considered a threat to repeat as WBC champs, and they have played well so far. But if Korea has been able to beat them twice out of three times, they need to be considered vulnerable. Then we all know that Team USA has some good players, but they have also seen some injuries. Will they be able to overcome these missing players? You’ll need to get World Baseball Classic tickets to find out.
All in all the World Baseball Classic has been a great time for baseball fans across the world. Don’t miss out on all the fun and get your WBC tickets today!
