Well as you can see from my name I really want Pujols to do good, but I want the U.S.A. to win it all. GO TEAM U.S.A.! & (Phat) Albert Pujols! Buy the way has anyone heard that Bonds want to play for the U.S.A. The only problem is the cut-off date was March 3rd. Unless someone gets hurt he's not playing. Maybe he can find a way to play anyway. He is Barry Bonds and nothing can stop him. What a f%#king Ass Hole. Bonds that is. I think Pujols was robbed of the 2003 & 2004 MVPs by that Jackoff. Bonds that is. Can you tell how much I hate that F%#king Ass Hole yet! Bonds that is!

I got 7 of the 8 but am still languishing in the Confidence Pick 'Em. Puerto Rico are coming back to haunt me.

go usa lets show the world that is still the american pastime Heck, it's pretty much the Dominican, Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, (... keep counting...) pass time as well. Cuba got a taste of what it is to face real MLB Stars vs. PR. I hope Venezuela can give them a second taste of the same medicine.... So, the we have afew great games today.... Can the US beat Japan?

Japan Just got Screwed Big Time! Top of the 8th Was that Don Denkinger who made the call? It was about the same. I'm still rooting for the U.S.A. But????? Holy Shit he was safe.

True... I wanted the US to win that game, but now it just feels "cheap".... Times like this is when I wish we had "Instant Replay" for the Umps to check and get it right. Nonetheless, good job USA and good job Japan! It was a very well played baseball game by all. Can we get current MLB Umpires next time.....

This Puerto Rico/Dominican Republic game is pretty great. Awesome crowd.

Wow, Puerto Rico is for "real"....

Wow, can you believe the passion that the crowds are showing in these games? I think Encarnacian should have gotten that one fly ball. What happened to stretching out for the ball?

All I want is for "Albert Pujols & Miguel Cabrera" NOT to get hurt! I have to much money invested in them. I want them to do good, but if they both join there M.L.B. team Monday I won't cry. GO TEAM U.S.A.
