Running 2009 World Baseball Classic Thread

the Dutch get it done. Wow.

 

Canucks up 1-0 after one. Good crowd on a rainy day here in Toronto . Huge K's of Chipper Jones and David Wright after a leadoff double by Jeter.

CAN-A-DA!!! CAN-A-DA!!!

 

And nice story on local kid, Canada's Joey Votto

http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/598189


Took public transit from his parent's house for Friday's on-field session.

My kids used to play road hockey with Joey. Good kid.

 

Wow, Votto hit the shit out of that one.

Do his parents live in Brampton? That's news to me but if they do he won't be able to take the GO train home after the gamne. It doesn't run out that way on weekends.

 

Not Canada. Not again.

This must be stopped.

 

Was I the only one watching Netherlands and Dominican Republic? Netherlands scores 3 in the first, then holds on for a 3-2 win.

 

McCann, bitches.

 

Yu Darvish asks, "Why hitters these do they have pitchers tough time?"

 

Jeter is looking good early. 2-for-3.

 

Yu Darvish goes on to query, "Washington why Joel Hanrahan he would be Nationals why here?"

 

A player I'm proud to see in a U.S. jersey, for sure. Great player, great guy.

 

Highlight of that Canadian pitcher's young career right there.
