Just in case,you guys don't know too much info about 37th baseball world cup.Taiwan is the host this year(2007).Games are hold in Taichung(台中) and Taipei(台北) which are two cities in Taiwan.You guys know Wang is so famous in Taiwan.During off-season,Wang almost stays at home all day except of going to gyms.Yesterday,Taiwan baseball team moved to Taipei to play against Italy.Of course,all media follow them to Taipei.Wang went to find Jeff Kartsens who is with team USA in Taichung(台中).Wang show Jeff around Taichung and buy famous local food to Jeff.They are having good time.Jeff maybe will be the starting pitching for team USA when they play against team Taiwan tomorrow night.Wang maybe show up the ballpark to watch that game.
P.S.Wang went to see Beyonce's concert in Taiwan few days ago and draw much more attention than other Taiwanese superstars.

Yes!!Taiwan Beat Italy 1:0 in baseball world cup 2007
WoW!I almost stop breathing during the whole game.Yes,It's is the same team beat Team USA 6:2 two days ago.Why?We have better offense than Team USA?Of course not.We scored that run on the bottom of 9th inning on a walk-off single.Offense is always the weakest part of Taiwan baseball game.There are only two good things about Taiwanese offense.First of all,Our hitters are patient.Second,we don't strike out too much and always put the ball in play.
The way Taiwan team win ball game is to put more balls in play and score some runs when pitchers have to pitch their best to keep scores as low as they can.That's why we produce so many pitchers along the way.The reason for successful international tournament for Taiwan is pitching.At that game vs Italy,Our Taiwanese pitcher pitched 9IP shot-out game with 4H 13K.I always complain about luck of runs supports since I was a child,but I rather deal with that than terrible pitching performance.

Mexico beat Taiwan 9:5 in World Cup 2007
OK!!Finally,someone beat my Taiwan team.Of course,I don't feel good at all.In fact,I am always in the bad mood when Yankees and my Taiwan team lose a game every time.Why they lost that game?Simple...They got bad pitching.This kills me every single time.So,Yankees,Please upgrade bullpen and starting pitching for this off-season.

Taiwan beat Japan(6:1) and Spain(8:4)
Baseball World Cup 2007 Update....
OH!YA!!My Taiwan team beat Japan(6:1) yesterday and Spain(8:4) this afternoon when Team USA was beat by Italy(2:6) by a surprise.Team USA is going to meet Japan this evening now,so you guys.Go to IBAF website and root for your team USA if you are Americans.
After watching these two games when my Taiwan team beat Japan and Spain.I affirm my opinion about mission for yankees off-season.They need to keep all the pitching they have(Joba.Hughes.Kennedy.Wang.maybe some top prospects in the minors) which assumes Andy come back to pitch at least one more season and go out upgrading their bullpen.This is their priority.Why?My Taiwan team won both games,but it is important to know how they win it.I was so nervous when I was watching second game we play Spain because we don't have good starting pitcher on that game.Because of having good starting pitcher on the first game we play Japan,I was so relax when I was watching.Fortunately,We have strong bullpen on the second game and that's why we win the second game.
The only offense they need to do is to get a decent third baseman and maybe get couple of contact hitters who can put the ball in play and don't strike too much.For 2008 season,on the offense part of game,yankees need to change the way they score runs.For the past few seasons,yankees always wait long ball and big inning and a lot of hitters in that lineup just want to hit homers to be heroes.This is not right.When I watched my Taiwan team playing,That is the way to score runs.We have couple of big power hitters in the lineup,but most hitters know how to execute tactics from coach staff(including small ball) and put the ball in play even though sometimes they have to sacrifice themselves.We add a lot of runs on moving runs and putting ball in play successfully.Of course,our hitters can execute well when we need a sacrifice fly or ground ball.Yankees need a team with a lot of players(like Jeter..) don't care about their personal stats and care about everything can take them to win ballgame.
I will say this again.I may be wrong about this but time will tell.I don't think Twins will give up Santana.I think they will find a way to keep him.If Twins can't keep him in the end,Santana will not sign extension with no matter which team trade for him.Santana will go into free agent no matter what.We can get him in 2009 with new stadium coming up.Don't trade away any our good farm products for him.It's not worth it.Image this,in 2009,our rotation will be Santana,Wang,Joba,Hughes,Kennedy among others top prospects.Maybe we can see Pettitte to pitch in the new stadium too.

Let's Go Taiwan!!(Taiwan beat S.Africa 16:1)
I am a baseball fan since junior high school.The reason??Of course,it is rooting crazily for my national team,Taiwan.I think this is quite different for most of American Yankees fan.You guys probably start becoming baseball fan because your dad bring you guys to Yankee stadium and probably rarely root or watch Team USA playing.I always awake up in the middle of night and try to root for Taiwan quietly,but I can't do it quietly because of excitement.'
It's quite nice for me to have upstoppable baseball schedule this year because it's quitely difficult for me during Yankees offseason.I was watching Taiwan playing with South Africa yesterday.Basically,my Taiwan team was killing young South Africa team.We have a southpaw pitcher called LIN, YING-CHIEH pitched 6IP 4H 2BB 10SO 1ER ball game and put on 17H 16R on 7 inning.This game was end at 7 inning because of more than 10 runs deficit.My Taiwanese team put up 5R(two homers) in the first inning and put up another 8R on the board in the 7th inning to pull this game away.
At some moment,I though I was watching New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay.During that period of time,I though about what should Yankees do this offseason.They may need to focus on more offense than defense(+pitching),but I change it back.I still think the priority for yankees this offseason is still defense(+pitching).It's nice to have nice offense,but I realize I enjoy and relax more in this game because of outstanding pitching and defense from my Taiwan team.

Team USA 3:0 win over Team Mexico
Just in case,you guys want to know this.The baseball world cup 2007 opened in Taiwan yesterday.Team USA just beat their rivalry team Mexico 3:0 in the first game and starts on the good note.This game was started by Jeff Kartsens.His line is 6IP 5H 2SO 4BB OR.I catch couple of innings for this game.Jeff pitches well and went ahead hitters often.
One more thing,Jeff finds out how popular Wang is when he got to Taiwan at the first day because there are tons of news about Wang on TV and he saw big poster at McDonald's store.Obviously,Jeff couldn't get used to Taiwanese food and went to buy something to eat at McDonald's.
