Slateman Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'd be excited if we hadn't lost to Canada. Seriously, Canada!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'd be excited if we hadn't lost to Canada. Seriously, Canada!?!? Canada's team isn't that bad. If the WBC was a midsummer tourney, the USA would probably mercy rule them. Loewen had a nice advantage against the USA batters because they haven't faced him before, and he pitched in the Arizona fall league so he's sharper than most.

KDawg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 K. Griff was never gone. His injuries slowed him down, but he's been the same player he was before the injury. I'm extremely happy I ordered that Ken Griffey, Jr. #3 Team USA jersey right now. Love that guy... (Manly way) And I agree. Canada's team is actually pretty damn good. They have alot of talent on that roster, most of it is overlooked in the MLB farm system, but that doesn't mean that those boys can't play...

As in, the Maple Leaf country! They don't beat us at baseball! They beat us at hockey :doh: What the heck is going on here!?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat us at hockey :doh: What the heck is going on here!?!?!? It's not as bad as losing to Puerto Rico in basketball. Still, as long as we make it to the finals of this thing, nobody's going to care that we lost one game. I'm sure the Japanese are pretty pissed they dropped a game to Korea, but we're all in the second round now. Survive and advance. That's all you gotta do in March.

Major Harris Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 i hope griffey continues into the MLB season. he's on my fantasy roster. not that i really care, fantasy baseball is just to help pass the time before football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 With his past few injuries, he hasn't been the same old Griffey we knew in Seattle. I hope he lights it up this year as well. (steroid free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Had Ken Griffey been able to saty healthy, I'm convinced he would've been arguably the best ballplayer to ever play the game. It must sicken him to see the PR nightmare baseball has endured the last few years due to steroids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I still think he IS the best ballplayer. Injuries don't make you less of a ballplayer, they just overshadow your accomplishments. Ken Griffey, Jr. > Barry Bonds. Any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any day of the week. ive been saying this to bonds supporters for a while...griffey jr was and still is a great ball player. too bad the past 4 yrs are basically a wash, he would be breathing right down bonds' neck, NATURALLY!!

Warhead36 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Curb your enthausiasm, he drove in 7 runs against South Africa. South Africans probably thought they were playing Cricket. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
