I hope Reitsma gets it out of his system now, and saves his good pitching for the regular season and postseason..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCBoy Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, that was quite the scare, but luckily we pulled it out in the 9th. I'm not expecting us to contend against the US today, but we'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we shouldn't win, but it'll be fun if we at least keep it close. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 You know I'm not getting the same feeling for this as I do the World Cup of Hockey. I'm watching because it's the only thing on but I get a very it's just a spring training game feel for it. I think it was a mistake to have soem of the games take place in a single A (spring training) size park. When it was first announced I was excited about it but this thing has been severly mismanaged.

jkrdevil Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well it's 8-6 now, Veritek Grand Slam. Even if the US loses they still are in good shape. They got South Africa friday, they win that they advance. It's Mexico in trouble if Canada hangs on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mexico beats Canada and South Africa, then the three of us are 2-1. The first tiebreaker, head-to-head, would be tied 1-1 for each. Then the second tiebreaker is Runs Allowed/9 innings between the tied teams, which is still up in the air. If Canada scores alot on us, and Mexico scores a little on Canada, then we're out.

I said I'm getting a spring training feel for it. I'm not real excited like I was for the World Cup of Hockey where I watched all the games (that were on tv) and was excitied about. I'm not going out of my way to watch the games but I am wathcing some of it. It is better than regular spring training games but I feel it could be better. Again it's a good idea but poorly executed.

gosioux76 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm clearly cheering for the U.S. But man is it nice to see Justin Morneau having productive at-bats.I agree with Chris, it's great having meaningful baseball in March -- even if it's played while I"m at work.

How is it poorly executed? Because you aren't "into it"?I wouldn't expect the U.S. fans to be into a tournament like this for baseball... at first... a couple of WBC championships to latin america and japan and you'll suddenly be looking forward to it so you guys can win it and prove you are indeed the best baseball country in the world.You liked the world cup of hockey more probably because canada was favoured to win it and not the u.s.... just a theory. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epper Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I'm definetely into this. That DR vs. Venezula game was one of the best games I've ever watched, be it spring training, regular season, all star game or World Series. The Latin fans are absolute nutbars. 8-6, top of the 9th. LETS GO CANADA! This win would make the game against Mexico MUCH less stressful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
