Hater.

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

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.

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.

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
