    But does he know the lyrics to ” Let’s Go to the Mall” or the “Beaver Song”?

    “LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA. - How many national teams can boast having a suitable replacement for an MVP winner?

    Had Joey Votto’s knee prevented him from playing in this month’s World Baseball Classic, Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was ready and willing to wear the maple leaf.

    “I told the players association to make sure they let the WBC know that both my parents were born in Canada,” Freeman ...

    The link for when it starts can be found here.

    Colombia is sending out Karl Triana (Diamondbacks organization) against Alberto Acosta for Panama.

    This game is live on TV in Canada if you get Sportsnet One.

    It's glorious to see live baseball on TV in late November.

    That was a weird top of the first. I'll probably catch the end of the game...

    I forgot this game started at 7 and not 8, expecting to see the pre-game and saw it's already 5-0.

    Any reason why MLB Network is only showing the finals to these brackets? Nice to know they think showing "Best of International Talk" is a better programming choice than live baseball for a tournament they are trying to generate interest in...

    Hey announcers, Patino hasn't been in the game for 2 innings now...

    I honestly have to wonder if it's some type of experiment with seeing how many people would use online.

    Another possibility is so that they are equal with the first two qualifiers, which were happening during the season and thus there was actual other live baseball that was being shown.

    Wow, another bad call against Panama. I take it Velasquez had some kind of injury a few years ago. How can someone who once stole 41 bases run so slow?

    Hang on, what's going on?

    What'd I miss?

    Both benches were warned this inning after a brushback pitch. The home run (by Ruben Rivera) followed, and apparently Eduardo Perez was ejected for either complaining about the warning or the strike zone.

    Okay. Thanks. I left again for a sec and I got back and I was like WTF?

    I worry about Brazil tomorrow. The Panamanians appear to have remembered how to hit.

    Colombia has remembered how to hit too!

    If Colombia wins, do the horns stop? I need a rooting interest, and "no more horns" is currently winning.

    The horns, cripple, the horns...

    I have no idea.

    To paraphrase Mota:

    Colombian baseball fans, much like many other fans, should just blame Vicente Padilla. No, wait, that was Nicaragua.
