WBC Game Thread: Korea at Venezuela Semifinal

I've been following the Korean team for the last several games, which has been a lot of fun, despite, or perhaps partially because of, the fact that I only know one player. Among major league teams, the Indians have a monopoly on the Korean roster, which has Shin-Soo Choo as the sole representative of MLB. In contrast, if I'm not mistaken, Venezuela has a major leaguer starting at every position.
Pitching matchup: Carlos Silva vs. Suk-Min Yoon
Of note:
-Choo is apparently starting in RF today, which I didn't think was supposed to happen, but there it is...
-Only two players in tonight's starting lineup for Korea have the family name "Lee".
Discuss.

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

I have no idea if anyone is watching this, but you’d think Joe Morgan could properly pronounce the name of the one MLB player on Korea?
So 2009.

Wow, Japan bunted with no outs, a runner on 1st, and on a 2-1 count. Wow
