As the World Turns
The World Baseball Classic continues today with five games in the Western Hemisphere. ESPN and ESPN2 carry live action this afternoon at 1 and 4 PM Eastern as the Dominican Repulic faces Venezuela, followed by the US hosting Mexico. Other games will be shown on delay overnight, although I don't understand why they're not showing Austraila vs. Italy live at 8 PM. :-)
Note that DR vs. Venezuela pits the last two Cy Young award winners against each other as Bartolo Colon faces Johan Santana. I doubt the mercy rule will take effect in that game.

Sweet baseball.
As for the mercy rule in the DR/Venezuela game, the two Cy Young Winners can only throw 60 pitches max. So it just depends on who has the deeper bullpen :)
