wrong again. Don't you get tired of getting your facts wrong. We play college players. Two, every player around the world all want to play for us. I wonder why they don't want to play for you guys? hmmmm.... AMERICA'S SPORT!!!!!!
If Australia was offering double the money that America offers then they'd all be over here.
I hope one day America gets to play Cuba's top team, not the second rate one they've played in the past, but their top team. Yes they all ready kick Americas butt.......but their top team would really annihilate your lot.
So tell me sir.......where do you get your notion that America are the top baseball side in the world? Statistics certainly don't back that up.
Originally posted by Blood On The TracksIf you go by gold medals, it would not work due to we never play our best players. We play almost all college players. Average teenagers know this.

If they make a mistake, they get fired.
Big, highly populated country. USA, though.
Wouldn't a fairer 'google' be to look for gold medals/medals per million population, or something like?
Take basketball. You can see it much easier when we stopped playing college players and we played our pro's. We killed everyone. STill do.
It is never a a slight against another country. Some own football or what we call soccer, some own rugby, some own golf, hockey, and a ton of others. Baseball is a sport we own. The countries he mentioned don't have full leagues, some not at all.
They all want to play here. Because they want to play with the best. Cuba has great players. But when they come here, some are great, some are not. But they are not close to being as good as us.
You are right about the population. We are bigger. And have a much bigger pool to take from. But it really does not matter. We are just better. I gave articles proving the truth. They don't want the truth. They don't even know or understand baseball. lol Ask them questions.
I don't think they even played sports from the way they talk. mma fixed? Really? Then lets just say all sports are fixed. And be done with it. It is all nonsense.
I choose not to talk with them anymore because it is just a back and forth and they have no interest in truth, just fighting with me. They are only good with words and a keyboard.

I'm quoting from irrefutable statistics from actual results.
Don't believe everything you see and read. Journalists make it up as they go....or in the case of 911, as they're instructed to write.
Whether your country plays college players or their top side until they can prove on the world stage that they can beat everybody else then.............they are just second raters.
You base your theories on superstition not cold hard facts.
Also your reply had nothing to do with what Blood on the tracks was alluding to. Maybe you should try to follow the conversation. I can explain it in easier terms if that will help you.

I would love to see a team like the Cubs destroy a team like the Yankees or Red Sox.
Unfortunately, you have the task of destroying the beat down lowly Indians.
Oh well, a win is a win.

I almost expect to hear on the TV that the Yankees somehow won even though they are not playing.

Originally posted by KellyJayDon't worry, with the new management and players and endless money, the Cubs should dominate the division for over a decade.

Funny how curses fade with a little bit of money and people who actually know how to win.
It will be fun watching the hated Cardinals suffer.......finally.
