You're funny. My point was to show that the U.S. players who are participating are into it. You can't fault them if the rest of the country doesn't seem to care.LMAO!! There is a HUGE difference of making comments about "camaraderie" and a "great experience"...and stating ...

Oh...believe me, I know they are into into it. You can see it in their eyes...it's "fun".
..but for a small country to beat the US in the game THEY INVENTED...like Endy said..."It's a party for like a month"!
Here some more proof as how much this tournament means to these guys:
How many guys pray to their pasted away mother to talk to GOD for a victory?!

The Netherlands team has truly made this WBC completely worth watching. It is just such a "feel good" story, isn't it?
That and the fact that Team USA has advanced to Round Two!!!
USA! USA! USA! USA!

Ummmm...I did just that very same thing during the final game of last year's ALDS!!!!!
...damned squeeze play!!!!
I have a question. Does anyone care about this in The Netherlands? Over there this would be the equivilant of the US winning in curling or beating China in ping pong. Upset yes, but so what? I know they're jacked on Aruba or whatever islands these guys came from, but The Netherlands is in Europe.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm loving this! $84M difference in payroll worth! Beautiful, just beautiful!
I am under the assumption that they are also including all Dutch territories.
LMAO....ok..I did when Pudge got a big bases loaded hit against Kerry Wood in the NLCS in 2003!!
I have been reading the newpapers in D.R. ...to say they are the national mourning!
I sort of feel sorry for them. DR is an impoverished nation and baseball is a great source of pride. This isn't like the mighty Soviets losing in the Olympics in 1980. That's why I asked do they even care in The Netherlands? How bad is that, to get upset in a 1 in a million way and then to do it to some country that could care less. DR doesn't deserve this shame. Venezuela, OTOH, does.
As a hockey fan, I remember when Belarus beat Sweden in 2002- that was a shocker with huge repercussions back in the land of meatballs.
That's another comparison I relate this upset to.

Incredible to do it ONCE, but TWICE!!!!
I think you nailed the analogy on the head, salsa! :up
Absolutely HUGE!!!!
It's like the Lionel Richie song:
They choke once and Twice!
