Venezuela is up 4-0 over Italy in the 5th. The rematch of the Netherlands and the Dom Republic is set to get underway any time now.

[Roast]

Back to back Hrs by Abreu and Cabrera and Venezuela is up 6-0 now. Italy's toast.

[Roast]

Sweet jesus, Venezuela is hitting everything out of the park now. 4 HR's in the 5th inning so far.

 

9-0

[Sammys Boombox]

10 K's in 4 innings by Ubaldo Jimenez for the Dominicans.

The Dom v Ned game has been fun to watch.

[AlwaysaCub]

0-0 to bottom 9th in the Ned -DR rematch. For everyone who called the Dutch win in the first game a fluke, including me, a huge serving of crow (not that this isn't ridiculous also).

[manbearcub]

Come on Dutch!!!

[AlwaysaCub]

The Dutch will not win unless this goes far enough such that the funky players on base rule takes effect and they get some of that trademark DR crappy defense.

[AlwaysaCub]

Marmol coming in for bottom 11.

[salukifudd]

Bad, Eugene, bad.

[salukifudd]

Marmol time, goodnight Ned.

[UMFan83]

I would really love the Dutch to win it, but definitely not at the expense of Marmol

[salukifudd]

Marmol time, goodnight Ned.

 

I had to open the big mouth, didn't I.

[AlwaysaCub]

Marmol time, goodnight Ned.

 

yeah? leadoff double.

 

It's not even March 15. His slider probably is not nearly ready

 

This is Marmol's first test in the closer role

[salukifudd]

How about Ned not bunting? balls.

[Garwilly]

I would really love the Dutch to win it, but definitely not at the expense of Marmol

 

I would, DR loses, and Marmol comes home.

[UMFan83]

Marmol time, goodnight Ned.

 

yeah? leadoff double.

 

It's not even March 15. His slider probably is not nearly ready

 

This is Marmol's first test in the closer role

 

Except he's been pitching pretty much all winter.

[Sammys Boombox]

I'm so torn with Marmol on the mound. I really wanted the upset.

[Sammys Boombox]

I would really love the Dutch to win it, but definitely not at the expense of Marmol

 

I would, DR loses, and Marmol comes home.

 

That crossed my mind.

[cubswin2009]

YES!!! I mean damn that was off Marmol.

[salukifudd]

Marmol time, goodnight Ned.

 

yeah? leadoff double.

 

It's not even March 15. His slider probably is not nearly ready

 

This is Marmol's first test in the closer role

 

Except he's been pitching pretty much all winter.

 

Uh oh, Eric.

[UMFan83]

And Marmol blows the save. Not going to help him in the closers competition.

[cubswin2009]

Oh no

[AlwaysaCub]

And Marmol blows the save. Not going to help him in the closers competition.

 

Also not going to help his confidence, and he throws it away.
