When the Netherlands beat the Dominican Republic 3-2 in the WBC this past weekend it was considered one of the biggest upsets of all time. Well, lightning can strike twice in the same place. Just tonight, the Netherlands have knocked the Dominicans from the tournament, beating them 2-1 in 11 innings.
I'm really enjoying the WBC. To me it's so pure. The players playing for fun, not for money. And most of all, they're playing with pride.
