They are going to have Buck Martinez in the booth next inning, i'm sure he's breathing a bit easier right about now.

nice slide Stubby!

Holy crap Vladdy is going to rejoin the Dominican :(

I kind of want Canada to come back and win because I'd rather face them next round.

ALL WE GOTTA DO IS BEAT S. AFRICA BABY!!!

2 RUNS!!!!

Looks like Pretty much everyone was unimpressive today, except RYU worked another perfect inning and Williamson pulled off the very tricky 1IP 2H 2BB 0R.

SKY IS FALLING OH NOES

It's 4-0 now, and mlb.com says Cedeno is batting so I guess he is at short.

I'm not saying that they are the sole reason for victory, but they certainly didn't hurt their team. 2 of the last 3 World Series have had the same style lead off hitter, we have the guy that did it once if you want to rip apart the construction of the team I think it's more logical to look elsewhere.

weak hitting, base stealing (sometimes unsuccessful) lead off hitters are terrible! http://images.art.com/images/products/large/10114000/10114196.jpg http://www.gazzetta.it/Hermes%20Foto/2005/10/24/0IOUJPDA--280x190.jpg yeah i want nothing to do with any of that. Juan Pierre in center field hitting singles and stealing bases is the least of this teams problems.

5-3 Mexico

Stoney and his partner are talking with Lee Smith during the commercial break, and they all agreed that he looked best in Cubbie Blue :D.

I'm not sure when this is getting broacast but I just saw that it is on MLB.tv right now. GO SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's really no reason not to take it seriously. There is a lot of fun baseball going on. Can the winning team really claim to have the best baseball in the world probably not, but anyone still nay-saying on this tournament isn't watching the games.

According to Sut, game 3 will be played by performance and not everybody plays. We shall see.

so our best chance at going to he 2nd round is Canada goind 3-0 and beating Mexico.... what a disgrace.

:x

huge inning capped with a Varitek GS.

DLEE is going to start the game winning rally here :D

what a play by utley!

I was never reall a fan of Peavy (i tend not to like studs on other teams out of jealosy :)), but he's really winning me over in this, with his awesomeness yesterday and his excitement today.

woohoooo that was a bomb!

TEK!!!

hahah great. you know maybe if peavy would have pitched just a bit closer to his pitch count we could have saved some of the good relievers for today.
