World Baseball Classic's Schedules And Results

[Potato_Salad]

Yes, team Dominicana did win 11 - 5 but what has not been written is that they did this against 2 of the best pitchers in MLB (one of which worked from the bullpen and got rocked just the same).

Trina expressed nervousness (in another thread), as did I, about DR going up against these pitchers which turned out quite well for DR and the game of baseball. The game was as intense for the fans in attendance as a World Series game and even more so for me.

Now, I can only imagine (and hope it comes to pass) what will happen when DR goes up against Australia on Friday - who got rocked 10-0 against Italy. Will the mercy rule come into play? I hope so, so that DR doesn't have to use so many pitchers. Same against Italy Thursday?

Hola DRPAWA! :classic:

How are you doing?

My most favorite baseball player and Boston Red Sox Superstar, Big Pappi, David Ortiz belted not one,.....but TWO homers!!! :bunny:

 

[miguel]

What about?

Well, Koreanito, don't forget about Beltre.

He had 2 homers also and drove in 5 runs!.

Hola Miguel :classic:

You are right. I cannot forget about Beltre either!!!

The Dominican Republic team's line-up is amazing. :bunny:

please understand not wanting to hijack / or try start a new thread.
I'm not baseball fan (but it's WAAAAY more exciting than cricket! ha)
I saw some highlights on the news ... would someone mind PM'ing me explaining the uniform logo for DR team. (It's not RD or DR ?) It was either Dominican or Dominicana or something. (it was a quick flash)
thx & carry on.

In this pic, it looks like it says "Dominican".

Mucho easy!

The cap (or hat, since you are not a fan) says "RD" and the shirt says "Dominicana".

It says "Dominicana" : http://i2.tinypic.com/qzoppu.jpg

So either they borrowed the shirts from the women's team, or it's the Spanish version of our beloved "The Dominican".

 

[miguel]

Come on, stop it already!

They did not borrowed from the women team nor it's a version of "Dominican". Ortiz is making a swing and it does show the last letter, the "A", for crying out loud!. At least the swing was not hard enough for it to say "Domi", lol.

That's what I was showing, and just that without 'Rep?blica' it looks kind of weird. But you're right, there's more interesting things, like a very interesting Cuba-Panama game and Canada leading the USa with 3-0

 

[Dolores1]

That's the same name all the Olympic sports teams have carried for the country. Athletes have for years been competing for Dominicana.

I was mentioning in another thread, jokingly, that the USA had to get past Canada! Well holy cr*p! It's now 5-0, Angel just called me laughing. If Canada can hold out, what a great start to the games it will be for me!!! YIPPEE!!!

 

[miguel]

Cuba vs Panama

Final score/11

Cuba 8
Panama 6

Adios Panama, since you are done, and don't forget to say "hello" to the Canal, lol.


The shocking surprise is that Canada is beating the USA, 7-0 in the 4th inning!!

Thanks, I should have looked better in Athens.
And Cuba has finally won, Canada is 7-0 up now!!

Who's shocked? Canada is just better. hahaha. LMAO here.

It's Dominicana as in....... Republica Dominicana!
I feel like I'm repeating myself - yes it was discussed in another thread a couple fo days ago.

I knew I shouldn't have logged on. Now I won't enjoy the Cuba/Panama game that my DVR is recording. However, it will be worth watching Canada beat the crap out of the US team and AROD!!!

 

[miguel]

Who?

Who's shocked? Canada is just better. hahaha. LMAO here.

Even my great-grandma, who died many, many moons ago, knew that Canada could not even carry the USA's bats coming into these games. But:

As I said on another thread, with the roster that the USA have, everything is fair game.

Did the US bring bats? Doesn't look like it to me. They may want to find a pitcher too.

 

[miguel]

I guess not!

Did the US bring bats? Doesn't look like it to me. They may want to find a pitcher too.

Not only that they did not bring bats, it seems, but they did not bring players either since Canada just hit an inside the park homer.

Score 8-0. Oh boy!

You know, DR/Venezuela was a very sweet victory to me. I am Canadian, and a proud patriot. Nothing can compare to this one. I realize the game is not over until it is over, but indulge me and allow me to gloat for a while. Angel is laughing his *ss off watching it. It's just too.damn.funny.

Trina, even though I know the score up to this point, when I watch this game tonight I'm going to enjoy it just as much as your Angel - no I'm not Canadian but the US is supposed to have the best pitching of all the teams in this tournament!
Go Canada!

 

[miguel]

On the same boat

Well, I guess that we are on the same boat. You are Canadian and are rooting for the DR because your husband is Dominican and I am Dominican but rooting for the USA, my home for the last 32 years.

Again, if we go back to my previous thread, I DID mentioned that with the USA's roster, even the DR had a good chance with them. When I heard that Leiter was joining the team, I knew that it was going to go "downhill" from then on.

And let's just wait until the "fat lady sings", since the USA just scored 2 runs.
