Guest Vitamin X Posted February 1, 2007 Report Posted February 1, 2007 The lack of Cuba in these games always make it less important when they're talking about "Caribbean" teams.
Shooting Star Posted February 2, 2007 Report Posted February 2, 2007 The score for the Venezuela vs Dominican Republic game is 2 - 2 right now in the 8th inning. The Dominican team is gonna have a much harder time this year since Las Aguilas Cibaeñas(The winner in the Dominican Winter Season) doesn't have much of it's players for the series, Edwin Encarnacion , Mendy Lopez , Melky Cabrera the stars of the team had to go back to U.S.A for their American teams after the Dominican season ended.

EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 2, 2007 Author Report Posted February 2, 2007 Still tied in the 11th inning. This is easily the best game I've seen so far this season.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 Thirteenth inning now. This is an interesting situation because the teams still play the next five consecutive days.

Shooting Star Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 Top of the 16th inning and at 5 hours 14 minutes this game is about to break the record of longest game in the history of the CWS which was also between Dominican Republic and Venezuela.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 18th inning. This is now the longest I've ever spent watching a single game in my life.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 Venezuelans take a 3-2 lead in the 18th on back-to-back doubles by Luis Maza and Ron Cedeno. Two errors by the Venezuelans and an RBI single from Alberto Castillo tie the game in the bottom of the inning. Unbelieveable.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 3, 2007 Author Report Posted February 3, 2007 The Dominicans win 4-3 in 18 innings. What an unbelievable game. And Puerto Rico/Mexico is still to come.
Shooting Star Posted February 3, 2007 Report Posted February 3, 2007 HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!! that was amazing UN FUCKING BELIEVABLE! D.R WINS! D.R WINS! after 18 innings! 6 hours and 30 minutes! 6 hours!!

EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 5, 2007 Author Report Posted February 5, 2007 Great day for the Phils' farm system today. Fabio Castro and Tim McClaskey led their respective teams to blowout victories. Through three games... Dominican Republic (3-0) Puerto Rico (2-1) Venezuela (1-2) Mexico (0-3) Three games to go. A tie will result in a one game playoff.
Shooting Star Posted February 7, 2007 Report Posted February 7, 2007 Dominican Republic is now the 16 times Caribbean World Series Champion!
Guest Vitamin X Posted February 8, 2007 Report Posted February 8, 2007 See how successful D.R. would be if Cuba was in these games.. *grumble, grumble*
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Posted February 8, 2007 Whose idea was it to dissolve professional baseball in Cuba? This tournament was a big disappointment outside of the first game.
Guest Vitamin X Posted February 9, 2007 Report Posted February 9, 2007 Cuba's amateurs already showed last year they can not only hang with, but beat professionals from around the world. But yeah, this tournament wasn't all that good. Venezuela-D.R. was a hell of a game, though. Bring on the Pan American games in July!
