WBC - USA vs. Puerto Rico


Johnny Rockets

Recommended Posts

Anyone watch it? What a game last night especailly with it being an elimination game. First time in my life I ever cheered for David Wright that filthy, homo of a Met. That game officially got my baseball juices flowing and I am ready for the season to begin. And yes, my baseball juices are slightly salty.

Please note that if you did not watch the game you are a commie and should be getting your deportation papers in the mail this week.

I haven't anticipated a baseball season like this in years

I bet not....wonder if they will live up to all the hype with that pitching staff and the new stadium........they still need to get that offense clicking though.

I don't mean this in a cocky way at all but since the Phillies won the World Series and I really don't see them repeating, it feels a bit anti-climatic right now. Something about reaching the other side of the summit after climbing it for so long takes something away some of the fire from this season and it sucks. Maybe that will change once the season gets going.......

That game was... AMAZING!! I really did not think they could do it.. But they are still alive and I couldn't be happier. Venezuela will be very tough though. They look like the favorites right now. As for baseball season, that game as well got me ready. April sixth is drawing near, and the second best sport in the world is starting soon!

I think the WBC is stupid.

Sorry JR. I love baseball, you know that, but this Selig brainfart is contrived and phony.

If any Cub player got hurt or got set back by playing in it I would be superpissed.

I find it meaningless jigoistic garbage.

baseball already has a fantastic international presence in MLB.

The timing is bad, the whole thing just annoys me.

Isn't PR a territory or colony or whatnot anyway?

Won't get an argument from me. I kind of agree. I am not a big fan of the idea either but that game was great. I guess I am just feeding the machine by watching it though huh?

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
