The Taiwanese junior NT defeated the junior NT from Japan (not their "A" squad though) 3-0 on Saturday.

Just some LL news, Japan lost today 3-2 in the 8th to Georgia in the final of the LLWS. Though they beat us, I was still rooting for them today as a fellow Asian team. In other news, Wang pitches against the Sox thursday against Schilling. If he had pitched Tuesday instead, It would've been a great matchup between the 2 best Asian pitchers in the majors. Matsuzaka and Wang. Also my 2 favorite pitchers
hey, any news on Yung Chi Chen in AAA? hows he doin. Havent heard about him in ages.
Last I heard Chen was rehabbing in Arizona - I don't think we'll be seeing him this year in any games.
