Who will win the Baseball World Cup??

[Wings of a dream]

Yeah, in the early-mid 1900s, baseball was probably the center of media. Then later after Football started to become popular, I'm sure because it was probalby one of the more extreme sports when it first came about. AFC vs NFC championships (later dubbed the Super Bowl) become exponentially popular. I was just listening on the news about a month ago that national interest in baseball is at an all time low a few years ago (probably due to numerous scandals), but is starting to become more popular after the records broken within the last few years.

Hmmm interesting, thanks for sharing.

USA should win it, but the no-series structure could take down any team if they have a bad day. Dominican Republic is the biggest competition (mostly MLB players from the US). China and Chinese Taipei never had a shot. Venezuela, Japan and Cuba will probably be fighting for third place, but they're kinda "gray" areas, can't tell what to expect.

My guess:

1. USA
2. Dominican Republic
3. Japan
4. Venezuela

Haha you bastard!

We'll see!

 

[BasilisK]

Honestly I rank your team at a tie with Japan for third. Pretty good pitching on the roster, and a couple nice bats. We'll see if the rest of the roster can adjust to hitting a real ball instead of rocks and fruit

Yeah, go Santana! And afterall an all-star lineup doesn't guarantee success. Remember the US playing Basketball in the olympics?

Actually no

Hopefully Santana plays better than he did last year. But with him and C. Zambrano, they should be throwing smoke to the no-namers in their pool, and nobody's gonna hit shit off of Rodriguez if he comes to close out a lead. Except the games vs. the Dominicans. They're gonna tear some pitchers apart.

Bow down to you man!

You actually know about baseball! And probably more than I do.

I'm waiting to see what Bob Abreu is gonna do too.

Heh... yea I'm not much for sports, but I love my baseball. My home team just tore the defending World Series champs a new asshole in a 4-game series in Sping Training (4-0, 41 runs in 4 games) and round 1 of pool B (US) is going down right here on my turf. Hopefully I'll be at the Mexico game tomorrow + Canada on Wednesday, so I'm ready for a great season

Christ it takes forever to make one post without too many typos in my current condition.
