I don't know about the veracity of the stadium radar gun, but he hit 100 mph a few times and it appeared effortless. :eek: Wow! If anyone defects I hope he does although that would probably help the Yankees or the Red Sox. :( What a first round for upsets and it just might continue with the Aussies currently leading Cuba. Oh, I don't think El Commandante is gonna be very happy (if he's still alive that is ;) ).
So, anybody watching Australia vs Cuba? It was already underway when I got home from work.
28, but hey, maybe some coaches or trainer or such will defect, too. :DQuote:

BTW, Go Japan...they are the best team out there. The only team that has a shot is Cuba.
Right now, Cuba has it's hands full with Australia.Quote:

No, the loser does and whoever wins that game moves on.Quote:

Bah, I mis-read the brackets. You're right; both Cuba and Australia can still advance to the next round, so the outcome of this game only determines who will play Mexico on Wednesday and who will get a day off.Quote:

I think now that the Netherlands have upset the Dominican twice we can call it one of the biggest upsets in baseball history.
Also, I don't know about Venezuela...bullpen wise they seem to lack.
I think Japan/USA/Cuba/Venezuela are the top four teams but if I can't stick them in any particular order they all have their weaknesses.
