"In short, China, without the assistance of the judges, would be nowhere near the US totals. But hey, didn't we know this was going to happen beforehand ?"

How silly for the judges to award 9 golds to Phelps.

outhouse/mindyou, your posts are pathetic and are best ignored.

ProudKorean: "That smacks clearly against what the Japanese are always known and admired for by Koreans - excellent teamwork."

Well, whether or not the Koreans are renowned for their teamwork... I'll give you that one, and admit I don't fully well know... but Japanese are NOT good at it. Look at any team sport they've been involved in with more than a few players/athletes, and especially men's soccer.

Anyway, adios, team Hoshino. You are certainly NOT the world champions.

If you score 2 runs, your team is not going to win very often. These games have been very entertaining. I have to wonder why Hoshino pitched Iwase rather than Uehara. Is Japan saving Darvish for the Bronze medal game? If Hoshino Japan wins the bronze medal they will be heroes. After the softball team showed so much heart and determination in winning the gold these guys looked like they didn't care. Just my 2 cents worth.

Game over. USA 'mows down' Japan 8-4. See ya Hoshino.

Yeah, USA won the bronze! Yippee. Look, Boobug, I'm happy for you and USA.

ANOTHER bronze.

Japan's all-star team owned by U.S. minor league players.

Too funny

somwhere birds are singing, children playing and the sun is shining. But not in Mud..I mean Japan. The mighty outhouse has struck out...

The Japanese baseball team should forget about applying for a visa extension and, instead, apply for an asylum in China, now.

Pukey2

ANOTHER bronze.

That's right, they're meaningless unless they're gold. In that case it must be awful to be from a country with little to celebrate...

Pukey2:

"Yeah, USA won the bronze! Yippee. Look, Boobug, I'm happy for you and USA.ANOTHER bronze."

Pukey2 this is a perfect example of how winning the bronze is a major reason to celebrate. The Americans put together a bunch of kids to come over here and take on the professionals at the Olympics. And look what happened, they medaled ! After the game they gathered en masse around the pitchers mound, slapped backs and shook hands, real class ! In interviews they praised the Japanese for their efforts but most of all gushed with pride at what they had accomplished. Yes indeed pukey2 we Americans will relish this bronze, totally unexpected, and completely earned on the field of　play. These kids took on Japan's best and whooped them good, end of story.

Hoshino said Japanese baseball fans should not become despondent because his team was unable to medal at the Beijing Games.

"I want the fans in Japan to know that Japanese baseball is not really like this," Hoshino said. "It just happened that during the period of this Olympic competition the team was not in good condition."

I wish I could see more bashing like this for other sports like Water Polo or Equestrian.... oh wait, did they even televise them? Missed the reruns for Modern pentathlon as well...
