naiwf 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Pedro's not surprising. He's such a poor Spring pitcher that he probably wouldn't benefit the D.R. even if he did pitch. And Vlad Guerrero has a legitimate reason. No he didn't.....Vladimir didn't even come to the country to be at his cousins' funeral. He just used it as an excuse So because he didn't go to the funeral he can't possibly be mourning? The USA losing to Canada is unacceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Im getting ready to start drawing comparisons between Carlito coming up with the Money in the Bank match at WM and not even making it and Team USA not making the 2nd Round of the WBC.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted March 8, 2006 Just curious. If Canada beats USA, USA beats South Africa, Mexico beats Canada & South Africa, which two teams advance? The team allowing the fewest runs per nine innings (RA/9) in head-to-head games between the tied teams. So, the US is in decent shape since they shut out Mexico. But, hopefully Canada puts the mercy rule on them today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It kinda eliminates alot of the Team USA spirit. It's now 7-0 Canada. Nice, the Canada team that struggled to put up 6 on South Africa has roughed up Team USA.

Remind me again WHY Clemens is pitching against SA? Just a hunch, but they were probably "saving" him for the next start. Now, typical American thinking means they assumed we'd cruise into the next round instead of having the foresight to load the deck in the first 2 games so that the third one really didn't matter given that a loss to RSA wouldn't have affected our seeding unless they managed to beat someone else too. 7 ER allowed here means we're negative 5 against Mexico already, and knowing Canada, I suspect that they will lay down to the Mexis just to eliminate the Americans at their own game, which is a genius tactic.

Guest Princess Leena Report post Posted March 8, 2006 The US is done if Mexico wins the next 2 games. Probably not. Unless this really gets out of hand. Canadia's strength seems to be in their hitting, not in their pitching. The game vs. Mexico has a good chance of being high scoring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking Ultimate Frisbee since we'd surely lose to those soccer countries at something like hacky sack and the Asians would beat us in almost any mental game.

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2006 World NASCAR and MONSTER TRUCK Classic. Course then we'd lose to a South American country. To be serious, Team USA has the offensive unit to come back. If not and USA doesn't advance, how much you wanna bet that A-Rod takes the blame? And as an example of the offense, USA on the board. 8-1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
