[ElFenix]

cuba and panama all locked up, nice

 

[NakaNaka]

U.S. getting embarassed by Canada.

 

[maddogchen]

lol.. Al Leiter is stinking up the joint. Willis wasn't ready to pitch competitively. With one hit Canada will break the game open and remember..these WBC games have a mercy rule! Imagine the game called on the mercy rule? wow


Cuba just beat Panama 8 - 6 in the 11th inning. The Cuban pitchers are totally wild but they have some good stuff. The Cuban second baseman and shortstop seem like good talents too.

 

[Ne0]

7-0 :Q

 

[MrDingleDangle]

wow..this is a big upset

wow didnt even realize its only the 4th

embarressing...i hope we dont have to lose due to the mercy rule

Inside the Park HR, it's getting embrassing now.

 

[JujuFish]

That was sad.

 

[Reckoner]

[IAteYourMother]

[anxi80]

well at least we now avoid the skunk, or getting beat by the mercy rule with a giant goose egg on the board.

 

[RedPickle]

:laugh:

Yup. apparently 40 times in MLB history. Only 8 since 1990 though.

 

[raystorm]

Chase Utley thought he just hit a 3 run homer to put the US ahead and was a weee bit animated when he hit the ball. ..then the ball landed in the centerfielders glove. 😱

 

[MrDingleDangle]

[Syringer]

US is still breathing..

 

[Toonces]

Canada wins! 😀
