It's our tribute to Susan Sarandon. Let's do the time warp again.

The Chief doesn't like changing titles after a few days, so when this was caught the first time I didn't change it. However, I think it may be causing some confusion, so even though we are on the 3rd page, I  will change the title.

Oh, I thought this was about the 2006 classic.  Still pissed at Mexico over-using Luis Ayala.    :rant:   :hang:

Caissie looks like he will be a pain for years with the Marlins

Bednar had Caissie on the 1-2 fastball on the outside high corner. Amazed he didn't swing because Caissie was in complete protect mode the next 4 pitches.

this venezuela Japan game is worth watching. Several lead changes so far. wilyer Abreu may have set a record for bat flip height.

I listened to Pasquatch after the Italy win and he said how great it is to have Italy playing in the final 4 against great teams like the USA, DR, and Japan. Bulletin board material

That Venezuela lineup is almost as potent as the DR or USA. I know they were considered to be in the top-4 going in but I still think they were slept on a bit. At least I did anyway. Seemed the consensus was they were still a tier below USA, DR, and Japan.

By the way, lots of old Nats materializing on rosters. Joe La Sorsa is setting up for Italy, Andres Machado pitched high leverage for Venezuela. I'm not sure who else is left.
