    This is what the Halos do though.  They grab the once great ones on a whim and a prayer.

    Past Examples...

    Tim Lincecum.  Yep.
    Matt Harvey. Hes the Darknight, so why not?
    Noah Syndegard.  He's fucking THOR man!

    I'm sure I can remember a few more if I needed to.

    TIMMY!!!! That dude’s star burned red hot and then burned out. Even a Giants fan like me has no idea what he’s doing these days. Probably enjoying life.

    The Freak was one of the best pitchers I had seen for such a short period of time.

    no, he was just dumb enough to get popped a second time but he served no suspension for the first time (mitchell report).

    Maybe not now..

    How we lose to friggin Italy is beyond me... Nope, I changed my mind, it's the dumbass coach who made us lose.

    No, the players that were in there are far superior to the players Italy rolled out 
    They just fucking choked it.
    Good for Michael Lorenzen to shut the US down for half the game but US pitching getting shelled is an embarrassment. 
    I love watching WBC games and of course want the US to advance but they deserve whatever they get.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    DeRosa not knowing they could still be eliminated is one of the more moronic things i've seen from a coach.  Part of me hopes they get eliminated now.   

    Not a big fan of all these guys playing for countries they barely have any ties to. Aaron Nola pitching for Italy and he's never actually been in the country.  come on.

    You have to at least vacation in a country for a month straight before you can represent them.  I have more Italian street cred than Aaron Nola ....

    Or create a second USA team for the players that are not good enough to make Team USA.  We call the "The Rejects".  I would hate to be a GM and lose my middling short stop because he blew his ACL because his Great, Great, Great Aunt was from the Netherlands.

    In regards to the loss, the entire coaching staff can't be that stupid to think they had a pass .... I can see stupid managing, but someone had to say something at some point, if they thought they had a pass to the next round?  Or every one of the coaches is stupid.   Players too.
    Be Excellent To Each Other
    Party On, Dudes!

    Italy was 2-0.  They aren't a bad team.  They are a good team.  They whooped us pretty good too.

    My favorite story so far id the Czech Electrician Ondrej Satoria shutting down the Japanese team and the whole stadium erupting his walk off the mound.

    He stopped to take it all in.  

    What a beautiful moment.  THAT is baseball.

    From what I read the Japanese team holds the Czech team in  high regard because of their respect for other players and the game.  Pretty cool.
