I'd just like to take this moment to say that the baseball card coverage of the WBC really sucked. There was a crummy 50 card box set from Upper Deck that did no team justice (and didn't even include Cuba), then a bunch of inserts for Upper Deck sets that would cost a fortune if they could all be tracked down. As far as I can tell, there were no Japanese sets at all, certainly not a cool team set like the 2003 BBM Japan National Team box set. Hoepfully, things will be better in 2009. But I'm not counting on it.
I'll try to get a post on Hiroki Kuroda up later this week.

Oh, I agree. I even ought the WBC set and then said "Dear god, this royally sucks". It's still in a box in America, it wasn't even worth bringing here. Seriously.
I was also irritated by the lack of an English language highlight DVD. It kind of looked like once the US got eliminated, MLB figured that no one would care.
