America: The buffer to a North American War

[blueunicorn6]

Ehhhhh.....high stickin’.

I'm surprised Canadians cared enough about baseball...must have some frustrated hockey players on the team.

“Those Americans are SO violent”.....Err.

[Figment]

Damn, are they trying to turn baseball into soccer?

I want to know who the idiots were that let Mexican fans get behind the Canadian dugout and start bombing the Canadian players with bottles after the brawl. There was apparently a large loud Mexico contingent at the game—no surprise in Phoenix, I guess.

I bet ICE agents could’ve done a land-office business in that crowd if they had a few (dozen) southbound buses ready in the parking lot.

After the brawl, telling replays showed Los Angeles Dodgers player Luis Cruz of team Mexico encouraging his pitcher to throw at Tosoni.

So, major leaguers can play in this tourney? I'll bet this guy gets a lot of fan support at home games in L.A.

I missed the brawl. They have a run differential formula in case of matching win/losses between teams in the same round, bunting for a hit while 5+ runs ahead is what the guy got hit for. The mexican players must not have known that you have to keep tacking on in case there are tied records.

I’m just sad RA Dickey got shelled in the first game, I hope he gets a chance to have the knuckleball working better if they advance. When it’s on it is something else.

Canadians turn everything into a hockey game.

Based solely on personal experience and anecdotal evidence, growing up in severe cold makes you a bit of a prick.
