I never said it was cheap. I just said it was preventable. I think that if some of the defenders tried harder, they could have gotten in the way of some of those passes. It was fine football from the Brazilians, but the North Koreans just watched passes be made. A simple ballsy challenge at many different points could have prevented the goal.
I'm surprised that North Korea was able to score, even though it is too little too late.
I'm looking for a better catcher or shortstop. I'm putting Molina, Escobar, Ibanez, Drew, Damon, Konerko, Jurrjens, and Kuroda on the block. You can mix and match from those to make something balance.
Erik Aybar looks like he'll be out quite a while. Casey McGehee slid directly into his knee at 2nd base, just after he was HBP. It looked incredibly dirty and painful.
Interesting article about the possible ban of those Vuvuzelas.
