If Mexico wins...

WildBill · Mar 9, 2006

2-0,1-0, or 2-1...do you call it point shaving or brilliant coaching?

dmmd98 · Mar 9, 2006

4-0 as we speak

If I'm Canada I lay down. Worked for the Swede hockey dudes. Ba-Bye USA.

If Canada lost 3-1 or less to Mexico then Mexico and Canada would both advance its now 4-0 Mexico its a moot point.

Yeah, but that would mean Mexico laying down, not Canada. If Canada wanted to oust the U.S. they need to step up, not lay down. Doesn't seem to be happening though.

This game is over. This is the worst pitcher I've seen in the WBC so far.

D2bets · Mar 9, 2006

And on a totally unrelated matter dmmd98...

Enjoy the 3rd leg of the tour! Going to be going to Vegas again on April 30 to see DM. :dancefool

I know they're heading back to Toronto as well.

zee · Mar 9, 2006

Actually that's the worst pitching I've seen in about 2 years.

PS: Milton vs LA in Cinci excluded...

Yes I am going to there show here in May....I believe its the 16th. Great show the first time around. By far the best synth band in a live concert setting. Other bands like New Order while I love there music are quite boring in concert.

Ya that was bad had the over in that one

zee · Mar 9, 2006

I was wrong actually, was refering to Paul Wilson, not Milton. Here is the game:

Edit: The MIlton game was bad, but not THAT bad.

RobFunk · Mar 9, 2006

USA advances

WildBill · Mar 9, 2006

This was just a reference to two of the busier threads of the week. One about the point shaving, the other about the best coach in pro sports. If the two teams had a gentlemen's agreement to keep it at those scores, would people say they were shaving points in effect or just that they were some of the best coaches in sports?

theticket_22 · Mar 9, 2006

acually that pitcher for canada is one of the best pitching prospects out there he spent the entire year last season with colorado in the bigs...he's like 6'11 lefty and a strike out machine....but he's had a few outings like this...but it's still early in the spring for him too....

theticket_22 · Mar 9, 2006

why does us advance...also who else advances in their pool canada or mexico?

Jeff Francis isn't 6'11 he is 6'5
