I always preferred "Formosa"
I thought the non-commies were strongly against "Taiwan", and preferred "Chinese Taipei". Am I not misinformed?
If I were on the Taiwan Olympic team, I wouldn't be waving that stupid faux flag at the Opening Ceremonies, or anywhere else, either. I'd tell the IOC and the ChiComms to stick it.
no, Portugese
And the policy of the Taiwanese government is to call Taiwan "China", anyway. Now that's just silly.
Well, then they couldn't compete.
Lousy position to be in.
I think they mangled the bracketed addition in that quote. I'm quite sure that a Tawainese politician who was angry about how PRC refered to ROC would not imply that Taiwan was "independent" of mainland China.
Oh well.....maybe next century.
It was the Indians, the team that brought back Joe Borowski this year. After the Olympic game, Shapiro named Stevens the Indians' closer for next year.
The other way around. "Chinese Taipei" is a construct to keep the authoritarian scum content.
Why would you think this? The quoted politician is a member of the DPP, a party that advocates independence from China.
Ah. I didn't realize that. Seems like an odd place to get your quote, then, given that the ROC government has spent the last 50 years insisting that they are the only government of China, and has rejected the name Taiwan in many places, because it creates the impression that Taiwan and China are separate countries.
What a #### way to play a game.
So, that's why Trey Hillman asked Billy Butler to bunt!
When the Taiwanese team was in the US they tried to smoke, chew and dip any manner of cheap tobacco they could get their hands on.
They tried to give a Bull's clubhouse worker a few thousand dollars, cash, to go to Sam's Club and get everything on a loooong loooong list of tobacco products they needed to take back home.
And Rheal Cormier struck out the side in the ninth! Awesome!
Five of Korea's first six hitters were named Lee. Awkward. And the Jung Bong can still pitch.
Teams are without players. It's a team of professionals, but it's not exactly an All-Star Dream Team.
The DPP (in the person of Chen Shui-bian) had held the presidency for the entire millenium, up until this year's election. Taiwan is changing nearly as fast as the mainland; many old assumptions are not reliable.
Having Yu Darvish as the starting pitcher is not representative of the rest of the team?
(Japan has their biggest media star as the pitcher, the US have the Mets' eighth starter)
Not really. Some stars. Some workhorses. A couple scrubs.
Stephen Strasburg is pitching for team USA now. Watch live for free here (click on the link labeled "Live").
Top First:
Strasburg strikes out the side. The first two on his sick power curveball, and the third on a fastball.
It's gonna be awesome.
