We'll have a very good infield. A-rod is still the best player in the world. Our pitching staff looks pretty anemic though.

A Rod was born in New York to Dominican parents who moved back to the DR for a few years, so he could have played for the Domincan Republic had he chosen.

That guy must live in a different Canada. Maybe Newfoundland or something... baseball sucks. We're most definitely just a hockey country.

Baseballs purpose is to provide jobs for grown men to chew tobacco and stand around scratching there nutts.

LOL how could we lose to you Canucks, that is just downright embarrasing. Do you guys even play baseball up there?

I think I heard tell of a team in Toronto once. Montreal used to have one but no one could figure out how to hit a baseball properly with hockey sticks.
