jwpeer Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Why'd they take Cyr out just as he was hitting a groove, he was looking good, only had thrown like 15-20 pitches. Some odd decisions.
Brett Favre Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Jeter would have gotten that. Is Damon going to take off his helmet everytime he scores like he did in Boston? Because that crap was annoying.
jwpeer Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Gagne should be coming in and this game would be over right now. kinda sucks ofr Canada that he can't play, he's such a huge difference maker.
jwpeer Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 NICE tough catch by Adam Stern. triple, single, inside the park home run and game saving catch against the wall. Shiat.
Brett Favre Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Chase Utley is nice. Too bad he missed it there.
Cheech Tremendous Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 Who the fuck is this Stern guy?? Backup CFer for the Boston Red Sox.
Brett Favre Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Well, if the first two guys get on base, USA-Rod will hit a HR to win the game. I'm calling it right now.
naiwf Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Lookie here, lookie here. Mr. A-Rod is going to wave at strike 3. Edit: Looks like Stern choked instead.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 This has not been a good pair of games for Texiera. Canada just beat the USA. Drink.
jwpeer Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Steve Nash was at the game? ;p EDIT: I totally forgot the game was in arizona, so that makes sense.
Brett Favre Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Venezuela up 1-0 on a Cabrera single; Abreu scores.
geniusMoment Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Nice game by Griffey, 2-2, 2 doubles and a walk. Is opening day here yet?
Guest StylesMark Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 At least the USA/Canada game was damn interesting.
Guest Princess Leena Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Good to see the US lose. But, the US virtually locked their spot in the 2nd round by coming back. The only way they'd be out is if Mexico beats Canada by 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1. Very unlikely.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Posted March 9, 2006 Let me lay out the scenarios here. Runs Allowed over 9 innings is the tiebreaker. The US has allowed eight runs, compared to 14 for Canada. Mexico has allowed two runs so far in one game. That gives Mexico and the US an advantage in the tiebreaker should all three teams go 2-1. In order for that to happen, Mexico would have to beat Canada on Friday. Oddly, unless South Africa pulls an upset, Canada is facing an elimination game.
Guest Princess Leena Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Wrong, Alan. It's runs allowed over 9 innings against the teams you're tied with. Thus, all the games with South Africa don't count towards it. Unless they win both games.
The Czech Republic Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Wrong, Alan. Leena masturbated to this post.
Guest Princess Leena Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Well, he basically ignored my post and assumed he was right.
Zetterberg is God Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 This was huge for Canada after having their confidence shaken against the South Africans. The sad part about it is that this win will do absolutely nothing for baseball in this country. Even so, a colossal upset and hopefully the momentum can carry over to the game versus Mexico.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Posted March 9, 2006 Ok, I missed that the first time around the tiebreaking rules. My apologies. It remains the same deal for Mexico. If they beat Canada, they are in. It isn't a 100% elimination game for Canada, but there is a strong chance a loss could still send them home.
CanadianChris Posted March 9, 2006 Report Posted March 9, 2006 Canada would have to lose 1-0 to eliminate the Americans through a tiebreaker. Of course, South Africa is hanging in against Mexico (5-3 MEX after 4), so that whole scenario may possibly not even come about.
