Olmedo Saenz got a big hit in the 9th, he's a Dodger. Word. This is a great game, very intense. All the Panama guys out of the dugout jumping up and down, quite a scene.
yes it is, and to think that Panama is playing such intense game against Cuba is a surprise, I thought that it would have been a blowout
i agree totally, i mean the aussies have sent over a young squad of locals apart from a couple who are in the minors, huber who plays for royals and dave nielson who i really old now
I'll be the first to admit that this has been much more entertaining than I thought it would be. I still don't like it but watching the games these past couple days has been fun. However, the shameless self-promotion espn is putting on is sickening. I thought it was bad this morning when the entire wbc page at espn.com was fulll of articles about how great and intense it was but then the announcers said this during the the us/canada game: "I think that Varitek will call that the biggest home run in his carreer" and "Such an intense tournament so far. For some of these guys on the US team, playing in the wbc and representing their country is the biggest honor they've ever had" Jesus Christ! You can promote the tourney without insulting our intelligence. I mean, there are only 20,000 people at the game for a reason.
Unfuckingbelievable...... Im very upset... But i guess the US needed a game like this to wake their asses up. Now its crushing time from now on till winning the title.
Hahahahahah hells yea!!!! But I wish we had Harden and Gagne because our pitching will be exposed sooner or later. I don't think Canada will go very far, just caught US off guard.
ROFL, this is like an all star team losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates....which is what team Canda is....well the pirates have better pitching...lol
Wow. That Panama/Cuba game singlehandedly convinced me that the WBC should be here to stay. It was simply amazing. As for the US/Canada, I predicted that Canada would pull off some upsets before the tourney started. They really do have a very good lineup (though I didn't expect their starting pitching to be so good today.) In any case it's not so huge a deal for the US, as long as they beat South Africa they'll be fine. And I don't see South Africa pulling off the upset. Mexico's gotta be pissed though.
