Phil Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I saw the game on TV, and to say that Canadians can't play baseball is sorely wrong. I just wished they would of used Eric Gagne at the end there. There's a reason why it's 'Game Over' when Gagne hits the mound. Gagne isn't on the Canadian roster. He skipped the WBC in order to rest up for the season since he was hurt last season. This loss isn't that embarrassing. Canada does have some Major Leaguers. Now losing to South Africa would be an embarrassment. There are certainly worse teams in the tournament than Canada. People up here made Team Canada out to be choke artists when our men's hockey team didn't medal.This is getting to that point for the USA. At least there were several other teams in the Olys with all-NHL rosters. This is similar to Canada's loss to Switzerland in Olympic hockey.USA baseball has at least 4 future HOFers in the lineup.Compare that to Canada, who has Stubby Clapp starting. (Anyone else remember Winnipeg '99?) Need I add that the man plays for the Edmonton Cracker Cats?The US won the first World Cup of Hockey back in '96. It would be poetic justice if Canada won the first World Championship of America's pastime. Not likely, but a funny thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 You honestly think we would go through Windsor if we attacked Canada. Going through Windsor would delay the troop movement. Before you do that you at least have to find Windsor. Our glorious army of occupation headed south of Detroit to occupy the puny Canadian town of Windsor before continuing its swift advance to the northeast through London and Guleph to Toronto.

HedleyLamarr Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 There's two reasons why the US lost:1. Chris Reitsma didn't pitch.2. Al Leiter did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braden Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I feel bad for Al Leiter.He wanted to be on on the US team so badly, and to see him be a big part in the loss is a shame.I just hope that he has a Round 2 to redeem himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 In honor of that glorious win, I have created a new sig. Jeter's expression is priceless. Doesn't A-Rod wish he chose to play for the Dominican now? I love how the Star is calling it the "Miracle on Grass" and could mean 2 things, considering a big chunk of the team is from B.C.BTW Braden, your sig quote ROCKS! I keep telling people Stubby Clapp sounds like some kind of STD, but hell is he good. Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

Unfortunately, the plan doesn't go far enough, you need to go as fas as Oshawa for the attack to be effective....Oshawa was a Day 2 objective (along with Halifax, Cape Breton Island, Newfoundland, Vancouver Island, Regina and Saskatoon). In fact, Asian reporter Trisha Takinawa, embedded with the 5th armored division, is reporting that Oshawa has just surrendered to the glorious advancing forces of the newly renamed United States of North America.
