Freeman was set to play for Canada
(www.torontosun.com)
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.

And there's the other wrinkle that Taiwan isn't claiming to be independent, but the legitimate Chinese government. The question of independence/reunification is the main political split there. China really doesn't like talk of independence, so they tend to cheer on their old foes in Kuomintang.
If not for the wind, Simmons goes deep there.
definately, I'm hanging on for the ride. we'll probably see Kuo! again.
The problem is that we're damned either way, claiming either isn't going to fly, and the official line of claiming to be legitimate China at least make us just politically screwed and not you know.. Palestinian screwed. but that's for another thread, as a whole in the recent 4-5 years with the return of the KMT and a more friendly China approach has generally worked better than his predecessor threat of indepdence approach.
I thought it was the other China that had the rain machines? I seem to remember them from before the 2008 Olympics... :p
Dutch's defense is getting shaky this inning.
Boy, the cheering is reaching insane level even for us.
Tseng is a big time up coming prospect for Taiwan. 18 year old and reach mid 90s at times. but his recent warmup outting was shaky and doesn't seem like he's much better now.
TINSTAAPP
IIRC they can start Wang for the final game against Korea right?
They brought in Chen.
it seems our plan is basically just to avoid Andruw like a plague, can't blame them.
Cuba didn't look too sharp today too, so it could be really really interesting.
########################## YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, you can see from the players reaction they know that this win is like 90% ticket to advance.
And now... its almost time for Japan-China. Should be a blow-out. I'll probably watch it a bit as I try to fall to sleep again.
it's ashame too, i'm not sure why he doesn't play this year, his new contract is down and it's likely his last anyway. he basically sealed his status as Japan's most legendary player with his 10th inning winning hit against Korea last time.
