World Baseball Classic

Well, Puerto Rico was defeated by Cuba (4-3) and ergo got knocked out of the tournament. Domincana and Cuba advanced to the semi finals. Team USA was defeated by Mexico, so Team Korea will face off Team Japan. So now I guess I'm rooting for Dominicana w/ Albert Pujols on first base. Cardinals third base coach, Jose Oquendo (who was the manager for Puerto Rico, Catcher Yadier Molina, new pitcher Ricardo Rincon(Team Mexico) returned to Cardinals Camp. Molina enjoyed playing for Puerto Rico, and even though he was the back up catcher for Ivan Rodriguez, it still was a honor and great experience for him. Molina is quoted as saying "It was unbelievable...It was likeplaying in the World Series. Everybody was excited" Another great qoute from Molina : Quotable: "I wasn't expecting the crowd. That many people there, I wasn't expecting that. That surprised me, like 22,000. That many people live in Puerto Rico?" -- Molina, on World Baseball Classic attendance in San Juan(stlcardinals.com).
