Wow! Major upsets galore! Canada and The Dominican Republic got bounced from the tournament. The 2-1 win by the Netherlands (their second win) over the Domincans is especially surprising. Great win by the Dutch. It should be an intriguing second round. Congrats to the U.S., Venezuela, Korea, Japan, Puerto Rico,…

In this day and age there is plenty of justification for law abiding citizens to carry a sidearm.

VOR: I am an American and a law-abiding citizen. So are my family and friends. Of them, only one owns a gun, and it is because he is a police officer. The…

but I grew up watching baseball and I have never seen an opposing fan try to blind the opposing team's pitcher with a mirror in any game over the past 30+ years.

No surprise here. The same posters who were giving excuses about the humiliating loss that Korea gave up to Japan, are now gloating over a one-run win by Korea. It is hypocrisy at its best! It is also funny that although the Korea manager was giving up lame excuses like…

By the way, here's a prediction: I bet, if the Japanese team wins their next game, many of the above posters will say either the Japanese team cheated, they won by luck, or the other team was sloppy and just gave up. There will be no congratulations on a fine…

Do you know on Fox they would (and probably still do) show a single episode of a hit Western show about 12 times in two weeks?
