| Japan should make it anyway. I really hope that ty call doesn't keep them from moving on. |

Chan Ho Park with his 3rd save in Korea's 4 games

Sucks that Canada didn't make it to round 2. Oh well.
Since when did Chan Ho Park become a closer? (I don't pay attention to baseball much) |

He's not. The Korean team is just using him that way. San Diego might have to think of doing it too since he's doing so well in that role. |

| Chan Ho as a closer seems like the best bet... guy has never been the same since he left LA.... I say let him throw heat for an inning instead of getting him knocked around for 4 or 5 innings... |

| Why not Eric Gagne was considered a piece of crap as a starter. Boom, he becomes one of the most dominant closers overnight. Chan Ho Park has good stuff for that role... |

He wasn't exactly a "crap" starter. He was real good in the minor leagues. |

I've listened to Jim Rome on the radio for a long time and he used to always call him a piece of crap before he became a closer. That's where I got it from actually. Romey is in LA. You would have to know Romey to get that. My apologies.
He sucked as a starter in the bigs. The year before he converted he pitched 152 innings with an ERA of 4.75 in cavernous Dodger stadium. ERA of 5.15 the year before. He becomes a closer and saves 52 with an ERA of 1.97. He had 16 less K's in 70 less innings once he became a closer. |
