usa vs canada in toronto
hey guys, i dont post on here too much ( i more or less just like reading what other oriole fans are thinking) but i just got back from watching the usa and canada play yesterday in the WBC. I didnt really know what to think going into the game but the atmosphere was really intense. The rogers centre, which is usually a ghost town was packed, and lots of exchanges going on btwn canadians and americans throughout the whole game. im really excited to see how the rest of this tournament is going to play out and its a real nice buildup for opening day..did anyone bother watching the game on tv yesterday? how did the atmosphere seem?

On TV it definitely seemed like the crowd was into it. Reminded me of a playoff game.

yeah
the crowd was great and it’s been forever since I’ve seen Rogers Center that packed.

I don't want to have to face Canada again
they’re better than I thought. Must-win tonight for us.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

I know the Statheads aren't big J-Roll fans
but I absolutely love watching him play.

Ramon Hernandez picking Rollins off 2nd
He looks more energetic the past two days then he has in years.

About, oh, two years, right?
I’m sure it’s a coincidence.

Pedroia's fault
for missing the bunt. But why the hell are you bunting in that situation anyway.
Ramon did make a nice throw, though.

Yeah but can you even imagine
2008 Ramon even noticing Rollins on 2nd? I can’t.

Is Guthrie going to start the next game?
If they lose they play Tuesday, if they win Wednesday. Or will they go back to Peavy?

Why is Derosa playing left and Dunn right?
Not only are they out of position, but Ryan Braun really can start two games in a row.

Davey wants to let everyone play?
Maybe he got confused with all of the other little league rules and thought you had to rotate all the players around. Dunn played right field last night didn’t he? He made a couple good plays for the way everyone acts like he’s a cripple out there.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Okay
then start Braun in left and DeRosa in right. Braun’s a really good left fielder and Dunn played yesterday.

oh no I agree with you
Braun and Dunn should both be in there. DeRosa should be a sub.

Geez
Even when he’s jammed Cabrera still gets good wood.

Needless to say
but Jeter wouldn’t have made that play.

Will the tales of Derek Jeter never end?
First he’s giving Brian McCann advice that directly leads to him getting an RBI, now he’s picking up checks for the entire team!
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Melvin answers the call!
Finally able to put that playoff experience to good use.

Awesome!
Gregor Blanco misplayed that

Oswalt’s looking a little tired.

Awful 0-2 pitch by Oswalt
C’mon Johnson, let’s go. Get creative.

I'm confident our lineup can get us back
but Davey Johnson was hurting us there.

pregame...
davey was saying that he wanted to get 5 innings out of oswalt. . guess he was just trying to squeeze the last drop out of that one…woulda been nice to have johnny paps and nathan in the pen right about now

Sutcliffe is a bit doofy
Roy Oswalt is getting the stuffing knocked out of him and walks a guy and he’s all “The problem with the bullpen is there’s no one else you’d rather have on the mound than Roy.” Seriously, you’d rather have the guy who is clearly cooked?

chipper
chipper is due, horrible day yesterday

They subbed Jeter for Rollins
They should have put Jeter into DH for Chipper.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
I think Wright's DH'ing
But Rollins should still be playing.

I don’t think he’s said anything insightful tonight, just him getting on a soapbox.

Venezuela is getting demolished! Poor Melvin.

anybody know about that 7th inning rule
I thought if you score 10 after the 7th the game is over or is that for the home team?

This competition is intense
I couldn’t think of a bigger stage for baseball than a dome in Canada with 8,000 people in it.
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
Now, now
don’t exaggerate – it was 13,000.

I thought the movie
Australia attempted to be to ‘epic’…maybe it was just me though.
The blues have always been American, as American as apple pie. The question is...why?
