Yeah, the USA/Colombia game is at 10 EDT But at 7 is a D.R. vs P.R. win or go home* match. That's a fun rivalry and a lotta ML stars game even if there were less on the line. * or, y'know, back to S.T.
I always find it interesting when a movie studio can't reconcile their promo photo with the billing order of names, in this case putting Fishburne's name above a teenage girl and Angela Basset's on top of Fishburne's forehead. GREASE famously had the Travolta and Newton-John pics in reverse order of the names.
California-born Freddie Freeman, playing for Canada, clearly hates America. Earlier, Puerto Rico not only beat team Israel and not only run-ruled them (10 - 0) but perfect-gamed them (though just thru 8 innings on account of the run rule).
OK, haven't seen 'em all, but 'Great Britain' appears to have the 'worst uni prize' locked up. I've worn more interesting stuff during college intramural games that we got from local sporting goods stores.
Team Venezuela is pouring out of the dugout to celebrate 4th Inning runs and even hits in their game vs the D.R. Definitely not treating it like an exhibition. V 3 - DR 1, Top 5
Upset! Upset! Colombia is Cinderella ... Will the glass slipper fit?!? Sorry, I got carried away. I thought that's how we're supposed to react at this time of year.

New Boston Red Sox player Justin Turner took a pitch in the face in a ST game today. Walked off the field under his own power but was hospitalized for observation anyway.
BANG THE DRUM SLOWLY was a good movie but the (very few) baseball scenes in it are pretty bad. Robert DeNiro might be a great actor but he's no ballplayer.
Tim Kurkjian said yesterday (PTI) that, after spending an entire day at NYM camp followed by one at NYY camp, he heard much praise and not a single complaint from players on the new rules.
