Good game
Dominican and Netherlands are scoreless in the 7th in an elimination game. It is on the MLB Network for anyone who is interested.

I second that recommendation
But man, the Dutch team has been punchless throughout its games…

yes
and the DR team is suffering from a huge case of Warning Track Power.

Somebody installed a ball magnet in center-left...
Two more in almost the same location, with even the Dutch getting into the act.

Italy's third baseman
He spent the last three seasons playing for the Timber Rattlers.

Then he was replaced by Vinny Rottino.
They insisted on calling him “Vincent.”
"The reports are that he is getting better. The definition of better is nebulous."

I re-watched DiFelice's innings last night...
While the announcer separately mentioned that both he and “Vincent” Rottino are playing in the Brewers org, I don’t think he ever got around to mentioning that they were battery-mates for almost all of DiFelice’s games at Nashville last year.

Vincent Rottino sounds more Italian, I suppose
Not as much as Marco Scutaro, who isn’t Italian, but what can you do?

Man on third, one out

Yes, yes they can
The pitching has been everything in this WBC.

Apart from the mighty Australian bats.
Go the NED!

Gosh, I love seeing
Marmol blow saves. I hope it’s the first of many in 2009.

in a perfect world...
Cubs fans are clamoring for Gregg by May.

Marmol had the wrong warm-up
I doubt Alou had the foresight to bring along a heavy desk.

I'll never get tired of that flag
I untuck my shirt!
by Michael M on Mar 10, 2009 9:53 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Will we see that flag more or less often than the hotpocket clip this season.

I gotta go with less...
But come on Cubs prove me wrong!

Is anyone else watching the Aussies???
4-2, 4-2, 4-2, 4-2!
by Braun Holio on Mar 10, 2009 11:32 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Well, 4-3 now
I’m watching. One of these guys just compared some Australian (I missed who) to Craig Counsell.
I was not expecting that reference.

When you are skinny and not so good at hitting...
there aren’t too many nice comparisons out there…
5-4. That blows.
by Braun Holio on Mar 11, 2009 12:15 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
NOOOOOOO
At least it was competitive…
but, I do have an idea, next WBC let’s not play a preliminary round in that stadium. Oi the homers.
by morineko on Mar 11, 2009 12:38 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
It was a wonderful hour or so there when we were leading.
Myself and the five other Australians watching were quite excited.
