He won't be pitching in them in October, so I'd rather have him not suck for Team USA

I wish they'd go home if they love their broke/busted country that much. Tired of seeing that frickin flag every time they show the crowd.

Kimbrel didn't even look like he was trying. He's only thrown one breaking ball this whole tournament, and Maddux came out of the dugout immediately after it

Miami's got a Port and a international airport. If you love DR so much go the F back.
Put that on the Jumbotron, bitches!

must be a lot because, and I'm admittedly a casual fan that really only watches the Braves, I haven't heard of half of these guys for USA

How come all the fricking studs for USA that are not playing, talk about watching the games? frick that. If you don't wanna play in the games don't watch it. O and on another note, just another brave that doesn't know how to handle fricking pressure.

I don't have a problem with the Dominicans loving baseball. Hell, Mexicans run around with their soccer shite and nobody says a word. If we want to be mad, be mad at whoever put this shite in Miami (The shittiest sports city in America). Put this shite in St. Louis and you won't have this crowd issue.

Thinking the same thing. I may be ignorant to the selection process but why are guys like Harper and Trout not playing on this team? Or Verlander type pitchers? I feel like every other team has it's best players but not us.

Considering this game is on MLBN and not ESPN or any other basic cable channel, should tell you the importance of this game. To say the Braves dont have a legit shot at Oct baseball is pretty ignorant as well.
