... • What are they up against this time? Don't look at Pool B. Don't look. Don't do it. Because all you'll find is... Cuba. Cuba? C'mon tournament seeders! How about giving the Aussies a break?

Youk is just 4 for 22 (.182), but he's tied for the team lead in walks (6) and home runs (3) with Adam Dunn... an interesting pairing of the "Greek god of walks" and the "King of strikeouts." The U.S. will now play Venezueal again to determine the Pool 2 Champion. In their last meeting, Venezuela beat the U.S. 5-3 to win the Pool C "title," but the U.S. did beat them 15-3 earlier in the tourney... click HERE for the full bracket. Could Youkilis and the U.S. hand Matsuzaka his first WBC loss in the semi ...
