These are my thoughts and adventures (or misadventures) in a little town called St. Louis! I will also be posting (a lot) about the St. Louis Cardinals- my favorite baseball team and the best team in the world. All of my information regarding them can be verified at the Cardinals website. Remember this is a rated PG-13 site, so nothing inappropriate or anything of the like.

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).

First the Japanese beat American car companies at their own game, now they win the World Baseball Classic! I wonder if this will mean more Japanese players in the big leagues?
