March 8, 200620 yr Great play by Francoeur, and also Utley. 6 more outs, US down 2. Edited March 8, 200620 yr by WHarris1
March 8, 200620 yr It's kind of funny that Willie has been so accomodating to the Red Sox wishes of playing in the outfield and the dreaded short stop position which he refused to give a try with the White Sox. Still, I love a guy like this: "He had me down 0-2, [and] I thought he was going to throw me a curveball," Harris said. "[but] he mixed it up with another fastball for a ball [to make the count 1-2]. Then he came back with another curveball in the dirt, [running the count to] 2-2. And now I'm thinking, 'You know, he doesn't want to go 3-2 on me, because he doesn't want to take a chance to walk me.' So right now in my mind, I'm getting ready to hit, right here. He's throwing 98 miles an hour, so you better get ready. got a pitch that I could handle, and I got good wood on it. It was outstanding. Outstanding."
March 9, 200620 yr How the hell can you lose to Canada? Nonethless, the WBC needed something like this to happen.
March 9, 200620 yr Ew. Game over. Canada wins. f*** Canada. Oh well, if the US beats South Africa and Canada beats Mexico, the US will still advance.
March 9, 200620 yr Yeah, well, we should've rolled straight through Canada like a Panzer through France, so...
March 9, 200620 yr What channel is this game? If its on dpeortes , do we get deportes on in chicago for Comcast?
March 9, 200620 yr What channel is the Italy game on? On a sidenote, that 8th inning was a joke. Two major league hitters went swinging at garbage in between a pair of walks. Utley hammered that, what a nice catch. Still, USA better rebound against South Africa.
March 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 12:19 AM) What channel is this game? If its on dpeortes , do we get deportes on in chicago for Comcast? Not on TV 'til 10:30. (This is one reason the WBC should have been on a different time or a different TV station, to avoid conflicts with College Basketall in a month in which it traditionally dominates.)

Italy is on ESPN at 10:30 tonight I believe. And even if they do rebound against South Africa(Who sadly actually came closer to beating Canada than we did), do we still advance? I'm guessing it would be a three way tie.
March 9, 200620 yr Author QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) Freddy sets 'em down 1-2-3 in the 2nd. Got 2 more K's, 3 total. Freddo gets through the first 2 innings unscathed = Freddo shuts out Italy for 60 pitches.
March 9, 200620 yr Freddy has the bases loaded with 1 out thanks in large part to an E on the 1B Ramon Hernandez.
March 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 12:49 AM) Freddy :headbang Bases loaded w/ 1 out and he K's the next 2 He strcuk out the heart of the order in Menechino and Catalanotto, too. Also, why is Delucchi batting last for Italy?
March 9, 200620 yr QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 8, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) Also, why is Delucchi batting last for Italy? I was wondering that myself.
