Japan beat Korea 6-2 last night in San Diego, setting up the games for the semifinals this weekend. Venezuela will take on Korea Saturday night, with the USA facing Japan on Sunday night. The winners will meet Monday night in the championship game. I have been surprised at the drama and excitement this tournament has generated, and while the timing of it is not ideal, I would not be surprised to see it grow in popularity. I am not sure when you could play it, maybe mid-November, after the World Series?
Team USA has added Evan Longoria of the Rays, not the Cub's Derek Lee, to replace Kevin Youkilis for the finals.
