so who do the Dodgers fill in his spot when he gets injured in the first game..... :lol:

[Mark Priors Calves]

beat you by 3 mins.

[E.J.]

He was born in California. Do the Dutch have a team? I have a Dutch heritage and am thinking about playing for them.

[bhogg]

just another case of "i'm not good enough to play for the USA but I still wanna play in the WBC."

I'm gonna play for the Cherokee, The Irish, The German, The French, and the English.

 

 

go me.

um... am I allowed to say Jackass on these forums?

 

 

 

 

Cuz you're a jackass, dude.

No. This is not allowed. Do not do it again or you will have to do it somewhere else.

I think that's a pretty arrogant thing to say. Who are we to judge which country he identifies himself with more? Just because he's not fresh off the boat doesn't mean he has to play for the US.

[wolf stansson]

I made the Swiss/German/Scottish team. Wish me luck.

 

BTW - I'm having a hard time deciding which team to play for.

 

Swiss - They will probably forfeit before the game in order to stay neutral, but I'd probably get paid a lot.

 

German - My best bet if I want to win anything. Their mechanical determination would surely grind it's way into the medal round.

 

Scotch - Won't win, won't get paid, but it'd be a whole lot more fun than the other two.

[Bote McBoteface]

I was just curious.

 

 

 

Besides, I deserve a medal for not posting what I wanted to post to that guy. I'll delete it, or edit it, if you would prefer.

Or just because he's never crossed the border?

Doesn't speak spanish?

I want to play for ethiopia. I hear I had some ancestors there a few thousand generations ago and as far as I know they don't have a 3b and could use a reliever

[emoore]

Unfortunately the rules say he will be able to play for them. Personally I think you should at least have to live in the country before playing for them.

[J.R.]

Stuff like this is why the whole tournament is a sham. How can anyone take it seriously?

I didn't know anybody outside of Ozzie and his Venezulean mafia cared.

[A New Era]

Nomar's Mexican?

[bhogg]

Nomar's mexican and I'm an arrogant jack ass.

 

 

I don't have a thing against Nomar. I just don't understand some of these guys who were born in the good ol' USA but have decided to play for another country.

 

I just find it odd that two guys --- Nomar and Piazza -- have chosen foreign teams. Neither of those guys would have been chosen to play for the USA.

 

 

I'd be hacked if I were the guy on Mexico or Italy's team that has to sit because of these guys.

[WrigleyField 22]

At one time Piazza and Nomar probably would have been shoe-ins if there was a WBC.

 

By the way what team is Piazza playing for?

[bhogg]

Italy, of course.

Maybe Norway has a team. I could play 3rd base. I can't hit for crap, though.

I'll join that team! I can play second . . . and also can't hit for crap. Can the WBC go 16-inch softball for us?

I'm a mutt. If Norway doesn't have a team I could try Germany, Denmark, Sweeden, Ireland, or Slovakia. There's another one in there, but I forget what it is.

i guess we can call off the olympics, too.

[Magnetic Curses]

i could play for the lakota nation. wait, a second, they probably don't have a team anymore.

[Knyption]

I could be on the serbian team, and shoot people when they hit homers

The run wouldn't count, would it?
