PrintAnyone that's watching WBC games today, have at it. I'm currently watching Netherlands-Dominican Republic which is bizarre. The Netherlands are up 3-0 in the second.
Eugene Kingsale just grounded out. Japan beat the crap out of Korea this morning and I'm pretty sure Orestes Destrade is going to give himself a hernia rambling about his days in Japan. Two Drinks Gary is on the mic for NED-DOM.

Sidney Ponson and Randall Simon should sumo

oh man
I think the Netherlands dropped a ball on purpose to make it a double play. They’re underhanded and evil.

FUN FACT!
The Compact Disc was invented in the netherlands!

I love stand & stuff shells, but I get one that breaks halfway into my taco experience every 4.5 shells.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I have never heard the phrase
“stand and stuff.” Is that like a taco shell with a flat bottom or something?

I love Rick Sutcliffe
He says “I tell ya whut” more than Hank Hill
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
How much do I hope
that Cano sucks again this year. That would be awesome.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
I wonder which team
Will take a chance on ol’ Sidney this year?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
How he’s never been a Royal is beyond me. Top five most likely Ponson destinations:
1. Nationals (they love crappy Oriole rejects)
2. Royals
3. Padres
4. Brewers
5. White Sox
All gut feelings.

I could see him wearing the curly W
Though I’ll have to feel bad for the Nats fans if they had him and Danny in their rotation.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
I already feel bad
I know at least one poor Nats fan has gone, “I tell ya whut this Cabrera could be good if…”

Please the Nats media is already saying that
“We’ve found mechanical flaw and we’re working on it”
“Our pitching coach is a tall guy too so he’ll be able to fix him”
“It’s not in his head, we swear!”
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
it might not be in his head
I think he just sucks.

remember when the Expos had some "home games" in PR?
What a horrid franchise
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
fuckin Tejada
Tejada homers off Ponson, I don’t know what the hell I’m rooting for. YOU’RE EATIN ONIONS, YOU’RE SPOTTING DIMES, I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
but I reeeeeally don't like Tejada

yeah but
at least when he played for the Orioles he wasn’t a giant fucking embarrassment, getting pulled over for drunk driving and being all “don’t you know who I am?”
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Yeah I know. Perhaps it’s because in recent years Ponson has more amused me by getting too drunk for the state of Texas and sucking for the Yankees (on two occasions no less), but Tejada annoys me more currently.

"Tejada is excited about playing"
just a week ago he was sulking and saying he wouldn’t play bc he couldn’t play SS
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
This just in
Sidney has rededicated himself to his career.
Also he has a daughter? God help that child.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Every time Ponson talks about how he’s ready to get back into the league and be effective and some doofus on TV tries to talk about it like it’s a real issue, I get kind of mad. I’m a big dude too, but I would think the first step to getting back into professional athletics for Ponson might be lose some fucking weight.

PEDRO
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Sut is obsessed with "energy"
“The energy in the stadium REALLY pickin’ up with Pedro Martinez in here.”
Crowd: “…”
I think perhaps the energy in Sut’s pants picked up.
The Orioles should call Pedro. I’d be all about it.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I know I'm an American
So therefore I should love Team USA or whatever, but I like DR. I like so many guys on the team.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
F Team USA
I’m all about Bruce Chen and the Panamaniacs.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler

Bruce Chen does have a very special place in my heart.
But Guts is on Team USA.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
wow
Tejada and Cano just turned the laziest looking DP I’ve ever seen. They put no effort into any part of it. Awesome.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
what the
The Golf Academy of America?
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Is there Slaughter Rule in WBC?
I see that Japan beat Korea 14-2 in 7 innings.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
yes
The WBC is cool but it’s pretty Little League-y because of injury concerns and all.

referencing the Ponson to Giants deal now
and now the screen totally cuts out to GREEN FUZZ AND BEEP totally kickass
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
no, Sut
Alexander Smit is not one of the top prospects in the Reds organization.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I wish Gary would get drunk
hold onto Sut. Palmer might get jealous though.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
this is gonna get ugly fast
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
what is that dude selling from the laundry basket
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
It's a shame
That the Netherlands first pitcher out of the bullpen is Smit and DR’s is Pedro. I mean, really. Why does the Netherlands even get a team?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Deep roots in the Caribbean
I assume the roster is filled with Arubans and some St. Maarten…ians (Martians?)
Are there any honest to goodness European Dutch on the team?
yes
Smit is one, I’m sure there are more. Baseball is quite popular there.

YOU SUCK TEJADA
HAHAHAHAHA
I’VE SEEN THAT BEFORE
HAHAHAHAHA
GO TO BED GRAMPAW
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I wish Bedard was playing for Team Canada
He’s probably not because he has no heart.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Could they have put a more disgusting picture of Ponson
on the WBC website?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
check out his nerp
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I think perhaps comparing this Little League with grown men baseball game to USA over Russia, Douglas over Tyson and App State over Michigan might be a smidge too much given that the managers aren’t allowed to execute tactics such as “leave good pitcher in for more than 70 pitches.”
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
WHAT!
WHAT A PLAY
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I can't believe that!
Nice throw. The Netherlands is gonna pull this off?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
haha wow
What an upset.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Peavy looks terrible
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
wait, is THIS Rick Sutcliffe?
These guys all sound the same to me now. Maybe energy guy was Steve Phillips.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I think it was
because at one point he was talking about trading somebody and I was confused.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
It's a crying shame
They couldn’t find a better CF for Team USA than Shane Victorino.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
they had Sizemore
He pulled out. It’s also a crying shame there isn’t a better SS than Derek Jeter. Or a better bullpen than one with LaTroy Hawkins. It’s a crummy team.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
There is a better SS
But J-Roll doesn’t have intangiables.

well
Davey Johnson’s also quite an old fart at this point. I can’t discount that. JETER YES! I KNOW JETER.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Also
Without Jeter’s help in batting practice, McCan wouldn’t have gotten that RBI.

Votto crushed that HR
I think that might be the first time I’ve seen him live.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Rick Sutcliffe is quite the low talker
hawkins has always had a good arm.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Very solid lineup
And they mention Pete Orr???
"Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!" --Tanner Boyle
The pitching staff is quite thin for Team Canada
ERIK BEDARD
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Is he on the team?
After last year, I can’t believe Seattle would let him go.
"Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!" --Tanner Boyle
by BirdFanInPhilly on Mar 7, 2009 3:12 PM EST up reply actions
no
He barely plays for the teams that pay him, he’s not showing up for this crap.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I love how
They had talked to Ryan Dempster and Rich Harden about why they weren’t there, but no one even bothered asking Erik. He probably would have told them he doesn’t answer stupid questions.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
I just can't do it
I can’t root for PHN players
"Hey Yankees... you can take your apology and your trophy and shove 'em straight up your ass!" --Tanner Boyle
"The next Stubby Clapp might be out there!"
Oh here’s hoping.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Second RBI for Derek

Mets and Phillies playing along side each other!
Yankees and Red Sox!!
CATS AND DOGS LIVING TOGETHER!
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
If you can believe this, Derek Jeter and David Wright had a catch earlier. They don’t actually want to stab each other, which was always my impression. As Alanis Morissette so astutely put it, “You live, you learn.”
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
Things were tough at first
between Jimmy Rollins and David Wright, but then Derek Jeter intervened and acted like Switzerland! This team gets it!!!
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Does the back of Martin’s jersey say J. Martin? His name is Russell Martin, right? Is that how you spell Russell in Canadian? Did I miss something?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
why do they think
they can just say anything – Sutcliffe – “Chipper Jones always has been a better hitter from the right side of the plate”. lifetime OPS from right side of the plate .910, from the left side .972.
WHOA!
Huge slam on the Mets outta nowhere
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
oh shit
This is some game
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
JJ Putz.
What an epic failure the Mets bullpen is going to be this year…
"You have to discipline yourself so you don't come out with something just to say you made a trade. You have to make sure you come out better than you were before." - Andy MacPhail, 7/31/08
Adam Dunn
It’s a playoff atmosphere, even though I’ve never been to the playoffs.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8

bow bow bow ba bow
PANAMA UH

I wonder if he’s drinking rum…

he might've been earlier
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
how come
they don’t mention that Ruben Rivera also once stole Derek Jeter’s stuff
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
I'm glad Steve Phillips is so sharp
“Pudge Rodriguez goes out to Javier Vazquez, tells him ’Don’t make a mistake to Carlos Lee.’” I’m sure that would be necessary.
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler
stop saying climb the ladder
fuck he did it again before I could finish typing that
"If they cut my bald head open, they will find one big boxing glove. That's all I am. I live it." -- Marvin Hagler

aw fuck that’s a bomb. bruuuce :(

I was in Toronto yesterday for the WBC game
awesome atmosphere….. 42,000 people, great seats scalped right behind the u.s. dugout, i’ll post a picture at some point…. fun time
guthrie is the man! he is loving the WBC. He was the first U.S. guy out of the dugout, and he just signed autographs for an hour straight. I asked him “What’s the deal jeremy? When are we bringing up Wieters?” he said “I think he quit.”
Guthrie is a legit guy, and he loves representing the U.S. team. Go U.S.A. and go O’s
It was weird
JEter was playing catch with Pedroia before the game, and Youk with David Wright. Never will I ever see that again!! It was also hard rooting for MFY and PHN players…
Has anyone seen the stats on Hiroyuki Nakajima?
He’s a shortstop from the Seibu Lions and is hitting .600 with 4 walks in the WBC.
In last night’s game against Korea, his line was:
AB R H RBI BB SO AVG
4 2 3 2 1 0 .600
On Thursday, he walked 3 times, ground out, and scored a run.
Please tell me that MacPhail is considering him as a longer term solution at short. Dude is fast with a .972 total fielding % and is only 26. Those 21 HRs, 32 2B, and 96:55 K to BB ratio’s not bad either.
This guy sounds like
he could be signed by NY or BOS sooner than later. Neither one of those team has shit as SS…hahahahahahahaha!!
The blues have always been American, as American as apple pie. The question is...why?
