slink 1 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 That's just ridiculous.Can't believe they are eliminating baseball and softball. Have to believe it's a bias against the US players and them playing for countries like Greece if their second cousin on the stepmother's side stopped in Athens on a layover from Hong Kong in 1953.

slink 1 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I was unable to get interested last time. Just Remember Bart Colon pitching for his country and then flaming out for the Angels. I doubt it was worth it for him or the Angels. Link to post Share on other sites
