          I thought the same thing too. I mean, other then ARod not being there, their roster was pretty stacked.

            no we don't, Aybar isn't really a real 1B, Pujols on the other hand is. We didn't have Arod, and it's March so you know he would of be ruthian, Also No Vlad, Manny.

                No A-Rod, no Adrian Beltre, no Albert Pujols (who wouldn't make that error Aybar made), no Melky Cabrera, no Vlad Guerrero, no Liriano, no Carlos Pena (who is the starting 1b on Aybar's team), no Aramis Ramirez, no Manny Ramirez, no Ervin Santana, no Alfonso Soriano.

                  Did anyone else laugh when they got to Melky Cabrera?

                  It's a shame the WBC isn't very popular right now, otherwise the Netherlands upsetting the Dominican Republic would be one of the greatest upsets in sports. I'm stunned.

                    does not matter who you bring. Our team showed great heart troughout the whole competition never taking anything for granted unlike other teams.

                    For those guys this was and will propably be the only time to shine on a world stage and they took the oportunity and ran with it

                          After thinking about it now, The Netherlands do have a good baseball culture that eventually had to show itself on the world stage.


                          1. We all know that Curacao has a great little league tradition and now that some of these kids have grown up they are showing they can play at a high level.


                          2. The Netherlands do have a profession league so the players can play and practice year round to improve.


                          3. MLB does have 6 academies in Holland so the kids can work on the fundamentals to become pros. you can tell because the play great defense and pitch good.

                            I know I'm a little late to posting, but that Netherlands game is one of the best games I've ever seen. What a monumental upset! Anybody who doesn't care about the WBC isn't appreciating the sport.

                                I'm an ignorant American Pig.

                                BTW, I"m LOLing at the people in the DR who already have 2nd round tickets and plane tickets to Miami. Awesome.

                                Edit: I fixed it.
