It's time for everyone's favorite tournament! No, not that one, the World Baseball Classic! Intensity was high as literally dozens of people flocked to Dolphin Stadium to watch the United States take on the Netherlands in an elimination game. The winner would earn the right to get walloped, er face, the loser of tonight's Puerto Rico verus Venezuela game. The US clung to a slim 8-1 lead in the 8th inning when the Americans felt Bryan Engelhardt admired his home run a little too long. Alleged Major Leaguer Matt Lindstrom threw behind the next batter, Vince Rooi, raising the ire of the mighty Dutch. Bad words were shouted in Lindstrom's general direction while former Major League pitcher and Dutch pitching coach Bert Blylyven milled about and looked confused. Lindstrom bravely hid behind his catcher before departing with a sore shoulder. The US prevailed 9-3 and will likely play one more game as their hopes rest on the wimpy left arm of Ted Lilly.
