Hahaha, this is hilarious.

What the hell? How is Al Leiter on this team?

 

CC Sabiatha dropped out.

And Leiter was the next best option? He was freaking horrible last year, there's no way he should be on this roster.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Inning over! Thank God.

[Brian]

perhaps we could get some runs here ??

[UMFan83]

So wait, lets say that US loses today, but finishes 2-1 beating SA, Mexico beats SA and Canada, Canada loses to Mexico

 

Canada 2-1

Mexico 2-1

USA 2-1

South Africa 0-3

 

USA over Mexico in head to head to head tie breaker

Canada over US in head to head tie breaker

Mexico over Canada in head to head battle

 

The next tie breaker is runs allowed per inning

 

Right now the US has given up 5 runs in 12 IP (.42 RPI)

Canada has given up 8 runs in 11 IP (.73 RPI)

Mexico has given up 2 runs in 9 IP (.22 RPI)

Believe me I know. I didn't choose the rosters. Should be Barry Zito.

 

This is PAINFUL. Hopefully we can dig into their relief pitching.

[UMFan83]

If Canada gave up 8 runs to South Africa, they can easily give up 5 to the US hitters.

 

No worries

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Young really got ahold of that one. :lol:

[Chocolate Milk]

Where is your clutchness now Jeter?!?!??!?!?!?! 8)

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Just get something out of the infield. That's all I ask. you can even fly out.

[Balsa]

OMG what is the pitchout on this jerk.

That's baseball people for you, all hung up on the "proven veteran". There are 1000 better options than Leiter, but because he's a name who was good once, he gets the call.

[Balsa]

only 40. ARRGGH :x

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

excellent.

[Chocolate Milk]

D-Lee-cious time!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

dang

[synergy]

Wow Canada owning the US. Oh well, it's not like we're going to win it. Face it.....the Dominican Republic is the best team.

[Balsa]

This is an embarrassment. No other word works.

 

Apocalypse prediction: Leiter gives up a 3 run homer and we get disqualified.

Adam Loewen is owning the U.S. and Canada is owning Al Leiter.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Bay singles up the middle.

Willis got hit hard by some good hitters and some crappy ones. Bay is the best player on the field. The US hitters are doing nothing. Leiter is in and likely to get rocked.

Al Leiter sucks. Badly.
