Little Late.... but still WOOOOO!!!!

WOOOOO!!!! Canada qualified for the Olympics in Baseball, now i know a lot of people out there are saying well shouldn't we. well lets look at the standings:


Team: W-L
Canada 6-1*
Korea 6-1
Chinese Taipei 5-2
Mexico 4-3
Australia 4-3
Germany 2-5
Spain 1-6
South Africa 0-7
*Canada gets top spot because Canada beat Korea.

So that's the final standings, lets put some context to these numbers, top 3 teams make the Olympics, and looking at that list you would think we should make it no problem BUT, Australia won the silver medal in the 2004 games and Mexico, South Africa and Australia where all in the World Baseball Classic. And last 2004 was the first time Canada ever made the Olympics in Baseball, so we arnt that good. So its still some props to Stubby Clapp and the rest of Team Canada for making the Olympics, so boys make us proud.


On another note, i really wish MLB players would play in the Olympics but i know why they dont, also i wish Baseball would still be an Olympic sport after 2008. I do know why not but still it would be nice on both these points

Yum Yum its that time of year

AHHH the sun of warm, green grass, and BASEBALL IS BACK ON TV! Oh i love this time, baseball is a great summer sport, and spring training is the best time of the baseball calendar. Every team is playing and a bunch of young players trying to make it big, oh its amazing.
I know most people in Canada hate baseball, but i think its because most people in Canada don't understand it. One day this summer head out to your local stadium (GO RAPIDS!) with some friends grab a beer and sit in the sun and watch the Boys of Summer! (Oh grab a pretzel too, they are amazing at baseball games)
