U.S.A. Loses To Mexico In World Baseball Classic
ESPN | 3-16-06 | my favorite headache

DISGRACEFUL....The U.S.A. goes down 2-1 to Mexico who were the heavy underdog....team U.S.A. with all of its heroes manages to lose to Canada...Korea...and Mexico...and is eliminated.

The country that created baseball goes home.We lose with the greatest players available against day laborer baseball players.What is it with american super teams...the U.S. olympic hockey and basketball teams....and now this disgrace.

Knowing how to win baseball games is different than just knowing how to hit home runs.

They are in the same league as the NBA! It's a show, not a contest.

They want to get back to spring training.

This World Baseball stuff is foolishness when American teams are getting ready for the season.

Nobody cares here in the States. Nobody.

In reality we also lost to Japan because of a bad call.

Anaheim Stadium. ....yeah, essentially a home game for Mex.

Only 3 hits against a AAA quality club (although they did field a few major leaguers). Embarrassing.

They sank...and they certainly didn't display any Brass Balls.

If the US puts the same team on the field at the All Star break rather that at the the start of spring training, the US rolls over everybody......easily.

Easily? I seriously doubt that.
