A Sea Of Red

Right now I'm watching the Netherlands (Go Oranje!) against the Dominicans... I wish the Netherlands were any good at baseball. I like their style tho...

Anyways, who ya got in the Classic this year?

What is this? I've never heard of it?

Hater.

Netherlands just scored a run off of Edinson Volquez by getting two bunt singles, a walk, and a wild pitch. I love it.

It's like the baseball olympics, but different.

Didn't China do pretty good last night?

Sidney Ponson looking good out there for the Nederlands... still up 3-0 on the DR.

And yes, Dom. They eliminated Taiwan last night.

I was thinking "Sidney Ponson is Dutch?" Then I googled and found out he is from Aruba, which is a Dutch colony.

There are some people I know in the DR who are going to go ballistic if they lose this game.

Tejada cuts it to 3-1 after 4 with a solo HR.

Posted: **March 7th, 2009, 1:29 pm**

Yeah, I am worried that the Dutch bullpen isn't going to be able to hold off the DR. Ponson is about to have to leave the game, we need to get some insurance runs before he leaves the game.

USA! USA! I can't wait! Baseball is back!

The Netherlands with the HUGE upset! Sweet!

USA winning 4-3 bottom 6

Posted: **March 7th, 2009, 4:54 pm**

Adam Dunn 2 run bomb.

USA up 6-3 now

Posted: **March 7th, 2009, 5:55 pm**

USA up 6-4 top 9, 1 out, 1 on. JJ Putz in to close it out

Posted: **March 7th, 2009, 6:06 pm**

Whew! Putz made it exciting, but the US gets the win 6-5.

Someone explain to me how the Netherlands has people on it from Aruba....not to mention not to many of them look dutch

Never mind just found out there is the "Kingdom of Netherlands" that includes Aruba and Antilles which is where all of their players are from

Ha, ESPN just showed Davey Johnson putting a big thing of Red Man in his mouth and then immediately cut away.

we are killing the hugo chavez's right now

is there a mercy rule in the wbc?

Posted: **March 8th, 2009, 11:25 pm**

Yeah there is...10 after 7 and maybe 15 after 5?

How happy are the baseball fans on here happy to watch this stuff....I'm without a doubt flying to PR or DR to watch this next time they do it...I had to see that atmosphere in person

Posted: **March 8th, 2009, 11:27 pm**

Mercy rule is ten runs after seven innings.

That was a great at bat. And that 11th pitch was definately a shot.
