He only said she was charging. Doesn't mean anyone's paying.

Colabello with a homerun for Team Italy.

Took a while but the wheels have completely fallen off.

Ignore him please. Clearly got up on the wrong side of the cave this morning.

Nice job with the sarcasm.

+ Pompey. Great game for the Jays if not for Canada.

Canada catching all the breaks.

Wow!

I'm glad the calls for him to manage the Blue Jays have died down to nothing. That was annoying.

He wouldn't make the DR team. He could probably bat 2nd for Team Canada.

Who even is the best starting pitcher on this team? Nick Pivetta?

Before this game, I was curious to see what Dempster had left. Turns out he's just a shell of Ryan Dempster.

Scott Richmond is 37 and he's Scott Richmond. That's a weak staff.

Taillon might have been able to steal a game for Canada. Can't see any of these other guys pulling it off.

There's really not much on the Canada pitching staff: [TABLE=class: wikitable sortable plainrowheaders jquery-tablesorter] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Andrew Albers[/TH] [TD]27[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]October 6, 1985 (age 31)[/TD] [TD] Atlanta Braves (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]North Battleford, Saskatchewan[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Andrew Case[/TH] [TD]75[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]January 6, 1993 (age 24)[/TD] [TD] Toronto Blue Jays (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Saint John, New Brunswick[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Kevin Chapman[/TH] [TD]50[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]February 19, 1988 (age 29)[/TD] [TD] Houston Astros[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Coral Springs, Florida[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Shane Dawson[/TH] [TD]25[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]September 9, 1993 (age 23)[/TD] [TD]Toronto Blue Jays (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Drayton Valley, Alberta[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Ryan Dempster[/TH] [TD]46[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]May 3, 1977 (age 39)[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Gibsons, British Columbia[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Éric Gagné[/TH] [TD]38[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]January 7, 1976 (age 41)[/TD] [TD] Ottawa Champions[/TD] [TD]Can-Am League[/TD] [TD]Montreal, Quebec[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Jim Henderson[/TH] [TD]51[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]October 21, 1982 (age 34)[/TD] [TD] Chicago Cubs (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Calgary, Alberta[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Ryan Kellogg[/TH] [TD]21[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]February 4, 1994 (age 23)[/TD] [TD] Chicago Cubs (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Whitby, Ontario[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Chris Leroux[/TH] [TD]63[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]April 14, 1984 (age 32)[/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [TD]Montreal, Quebec[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Scott Mathieson[/TH] [TD]47[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]February 27, 1984 (age 33)[/TD] [TD] Yomiuri Giants[/TD] [TD]Nippon Professional Baseball[/TD] [TD]Vancouver, British Columbia[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Dustin Molleken[/TH] [TD]35[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]August 21, 1984 (age 32)[/TD] [TD] Detroit Tigers (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Regina, Saskatchewan[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Nick Pivetta[/TH] [TD]16[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]February 14, 1993 (age 24)[/TD] [TD] Philadelphia Phillies (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Victoria, British Columbia[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Scott Richmond[/TH] [TD]48[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]August 30, 1979 (age 37)[/TD] [TD] Fubon Guardians[/TD] [TD]Chinese Professional Baseball[/TD] [TD]North Vancouver, British Columbia[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Jesen Therrien[/TH] [TD]22[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]March 18, 1993 (age 23)[/TD] [TD] Philadelphia Phillies (minors)[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Montreal, Quebec[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TH=bgcolor: #EAECF0, align: left]Rowan Wick[/TH] [TD]44[/TD] [TD]P[/TD] [TD]November 9, 1992 (age 24)[/TD] [TD] St. Louis Cardinals[/TD] [TD]Major League Baseball[/TD] [TD]Langley, British Columbia[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Feels like Orr has been on every iteration of Team Canada.

It's not really a Gibbons thing. Zeke has no options. The best way to assure CF depth is to keep him on the 25.

The team must not be very comfortable with the idea of Pagan or Upton sliding to CF to cover for Pillar. I think that might be the reason they're so committed to ole 'Zeke. It's true that if they weren't rostering Smoak, they could roster 5 OFs but then they would commit to Pearse full time at 1B and I'm not sure they want do that either because they probably want the later sliding to 2B semi regularly to cover for Travis/Barney.

I did it. Since everyone's on waivers, it's just easier that way.

He emptied his a long time ago.

Cal Ripken is generally credited as the one who broke the shortstop mold. He's listed as 6,4. If it wasn't for Cal, ARod probably would have been a 3B his whole career. Now big shorstops are becoming the norm. Teams have learned that you can develop a bigger shortstop with power. It doesn't have to be some fast, scrawny guy.

O.K. Sorry about that. I didn't recognize that site and I thought you might be doing a play on the word "dong".

Risky click of the day...
