Holy cow, the U.S. goes down!!

Also, would you say it is fair to consider your players' performances in the Classic as some sort of barometer for the rest of the season?

Not in the least. Ridiculously small sample from talent that could be vastly different from what you're actually going to face.

I don't take World Classic stats for anything.

But jeez... has the US ever been swept before?

What did I say yesterday about Puerto Rico's pitching? I continue to have higher hopes for my season as Rosa continues to get high profile wins. Also, it is a silver lining when considering I still disagree with Amador being left off the Puerto Rico team, but if they win it all at least Rosa will have been a SP for it.

I know what it feel's like to have a player with much better SI then some people that make it but they don't make it anyways hopefully Arocha can FINALLY get some playing time for time Dominican Republic.

In honor of Luis "The Rock" Rosa's performances through the rounds here is Sean Connery doing his introduction.

Fitting... Rosa picked up the win and PotG award in the clinching game against DR in the finals, he also got the clinching win against the US in the semis. I have the pitching equivalent of Michael Jordan playing basketball.

Considering this is the first time I have had a player feature prominently in a WC I am very excited to see how this season goes.

Might not be a true barometer... but I'm really not looking forward to facing the "The Rock" this season... :(

If anything, the last couple rounds are really stiffer competition than anything you face in the leagues.

Love the clip from The Rock! Wish we had a like button for times like that.
