You know what, though?

I've always said this.

I ask for no pity.

We're not like...

I'm taking a red-eye flight on Friday night from L.A.

to Miami, so going cross-country.

And we're going to see Team Japan play in the quarterfinals against either the Dominican Republic or Venezuela in Miami for a spot in the semifinals.

That's going to be an electric atmosphere tonight.

In Miami, the two Latin American countries have incredible fan bases.

The Dominicans and the Venezuelans, their fan bases are electric.

The Japanese fans, they travel well.

I know they were in the Tokyo Dome for the WBC, but there's going to be a lot of Japanese fans there in Miami, too, next week or at the end of the week.

I just think it's such a cool event.

To get to bounce around and hop in and call a few of these games, it's really cool.

The atmosphere watching...

In Houston last night, I was sitting in my hotel room in San Francisco watching it, and it was probably more favored towards Mexico, understandable in Houston, but it was such a great atmosphere to watch on TV, and this event is... I knew there was a lot of buzz going into this particular WBC.

I was excited to call it.

I didn't realize how much of a jolt that you feel while calling some of these games.

Adam, pop quiz.
