Well that was exhausting!
What a three day ride last weekend during the
WBC. A devastating, demoralizing, mercy
run loss to ITALY!!! I mean are you freaking kidding me??? ITALY....again!
Followed by a smack down of Mexico....literally.
And then on Sunday we were six outs way from
knocking out team USA and advancing. But
it was not to be. Our “Whittless”
manager was just embarrassing. I mean I can’t
even believe how bad his decisions were.
But at the end of the day, Canada was simply outmatched. Any team can win a single game, but player
for player, Canada simply didn’t have the talent to match up against the USA.
But I will take away some great memories:
·
The Michael Saunders coming out
party. I would not be surprised to see
him make the All-Star team this year. He
was phenomenal.
·
Justin Morneau appears to finally
be back to his old self. So good to see,
as at one point his career was in jeopardy.
·
Young 21-year old Jameson
Taillon looking like a gunslinger throwing bullets and shutting down Team
USA. He could be a good one.....and he’s
a Pirate. SHWING!!!
·
Catcher Chris Robinson (a last minute
sub for Martin), taking one off the cup, followed by getting run over at home plate
and making the out, followed by my little girl throwing up on me. Ok that last part sucked, but not for me, I
just felt bad for her. I love being a
Dad!
·
Rooting for a team in a close ballgame
that felt like it meant something. Obviously
the WBC has its flaws, but on Saturday and Sunday I was riveted. Can’t wait to feel the same way about Jays games
this coming September.
Onward we go, spring practice
continues. Less than three weeks until Opening
Day!
