Freeman was set to play for Canada

Foul ball near the wall on the first base line. First baseman raced after it. It ticked off his glove and he fell into the camera bay. He came up with the ball in his glove, acting like he'd caught it. The umpire was out of position and called it an out, but replay showed he didn't have the ball even when he was tumbling over the wall.
Cokes for everyone, but I'll rub them with my gloves first.
Thanks!
then again, Nohmi seems pretty untouchable right now
Also only used 40 pitch to get through 3. not bad.
Plz start hitting Nohmi.
KUO!
Please crush the ball.
now loaded with HBP
KUO!!!!! 96!!!!
I was in the other room for a few minutes, and when I heard the loud roars, I thought Japan had taken the lead in the top of the 9th.
Imagine my surprise when I realized the loud crowd was for CT taking the lead.
As RW says, CT's fans are LOUD in there.
anyone else thinking the Honkballers could actually win this thing?
And there is STILL the bottom of the 9th to go!
Also, this reinforces my desire to attend a baseball game in Japan at some point in my life.
though it does put Japan in a bind, they alerady used a lot of pitchers and now have to call another one without notice at the worst time possible.
