Los Venados de Mazatlan have clinched the Mexican League Title.

The only league that has yet to reach a champion is the VWL. Caracas currently has a 2 game to 1 lead over Aragua (best of 7 series).

Oh no PaNatsFan, start a campaign to convince the women of Venezuela that they are being slurred and should be offended by the intent of this travesty!

20 minutes until Licey takes on Venezuela which will kick off the 2009 Serie del Caribe. I won't be watching because I'm in class but I'll try to follow on gameday.

Per the rosters on MILB.com, the only Nationals on the Licey World Series roster are Anderson Hernandez, Belliard, and Jorge Sosa. Flores and DCab have likely gone back to the states in order to get ready for Spring Training. A few ex-Nationals on the Licey WS roster include Ramon Ortiz, Felix Rodriguez, and D'Angelo Jimenez.

Licey should punish this Venezuelan team today.

MrMadison · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2009, 05:04:25 pm »

can't wait to see Hernandez in action.

and I forgot that we signed Jorge Sosa lol.

spidernat · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2009, 05:10:18 pm »

I'm glad I read this thread because I had forgotten about this. They are about to start.

Belly and AH turn a double play to get out of the inning unscathed.
