I see Travis Minix and Jorge Padilla for Puerto Rico.

 

This is a tournament that's been in existence since 1949. It's a heck of a lot of fun.

Mets' prospect Fernando Martinez hit a two run home run today in the Dominican Republic's 2-1 win over Puerto Rico. Mexico/Venezuela game is on right now, scoreless in 5th.

Holy crap a Bill Pulsipher siting as he's on the mound for Puerto Rico tonight.

 

Venezuela has the Series all but wrapped up as they are 4-0 after beating the Domincan Republic today.

Mexico's 2-1 though. If they win today, they have Venezuela tomorrow with a chance of tying the series.

I Still cant believe the Twins gave the Mets Johan and didn't walk away with him.....

Carlos Gomez will probably end up being a better player, don't worry. Martinez has been unable to hit for power at AA and is 19 and ALREADY injury prone. You know right after that home run he flew to New York to get his elbow checked out my Mets doctors? Now he has hamstring and elbow problems? Wilmer Flores is the best Mets prospect now, I'm convinced.

 

Even if F-Mart does end up awesome, and believe me I hope he does, Carlos Gomez is a stud defensively.

31 extra base hits in 86 games is hardly a power failure.

Eh, for a guy who is supposedly our only really top notch prospect, I'm not impressed. It's the injuries that are making me really flip shit, but I'm still not impressed with his numbers. From what I hear his pitch recognition isn't where it should be, either.

Venezuela wins their 7th Caribbean Series title. That last inning had me sweating bullets. Like Todd Jones closing!

[Shooting Star]

Funny. Last time the WBC took place Venezuela also won the Series.
