USA Baseball Team

Did you guys hear this about the USA team being eliminated from the tournament if Mexico beats Canada 1-0, 2-1, or 2-0?
Also, Vlad is back with DR. Any sites still offering a wager on DR to win this tournament?

[BigWeiner]

Yea, I agree with you guys, who gives a fuck

How is that when the US should get the tie breaker over Mexico for beating them???

I don't get it either Wayne, why not 3-1 or even 2-1? ESPN said just those three totals would elimiante the US squad

That makes NO SENSE, especially if the US wins 10-0 Friday!

Well here is how the tiebreaker works.
Canada Beats the U.S.
U.S. beat Mexico
Mexico beat Canada (assuming)

Since all three would be 2-1 they are all tied. Since it ended up in Merry-go round fashion no one has a head on head advantage. So the top two teams giving up the least amount of runs per inning moves on.

IF Mexico beats Canada then they will go to a tiebreaker and that being most runs scored in which US would get knocked out.. They have scored 8 runs in 2 games and Canada has them tied with just that one game.. and thats not counting what Canada has already scored in their 1st game and not counting what they will score against mexico.. So there is a chance that US wont make it reguardless of their next game

Yup and in turn US would be a goner..

TMAC, If it's most runs scored ... What if the US wins and scores 15 Friday???

Then they will be in.. BUT WHAT IF they win and only score 2 runs again like they did against Mexico?? Then their out.. I was saying that there is a CHANCE that they COULD be out I never said that they WERE out..

I know but i keep hearing they could be out before they even play Friday. That just doesn't make sense!

I hope they get kicked out.. I got 2 tickets to next weeks spring training game... I would really like to see the regulars play

Yeah I agree that doesnt make sense..

[wayne1218]

Is Canada trying to let mexico in and keep the us out?????
