We can beat them.

I remember when Gene Kingsale and Randall Simon were Tigers.

Tune to ESPN Classic for this game. It'll probably move to ESPN2 after the Japan/Cuba game.

Why is this on ESPN Classic? How can a game that hasn't been played be a "classic"?

Wow, look at all the fan at Dolphin Stadium :haha:

It was supposed to be on ESPN2, but the Japan and Cuba game isn't done yet so they had to shift it to another channel (what's wrong with ESPN1?). Good thing they didn't choose ESPN News, I don't get that channel.

:haha: I'd go if it was in Detroit...

How many of these Dutch players are actually from the Netherlands and not just a Dutch territory?


The reason I ask is I don't see why the Dutch territories don't count as countries while Puerto Rico, an American territory, does.

I'd go to the games at Dodger Stadium if I was still in school.

Kingsale doesn't look any different from his Tiger days, . 1 out.

Hey, a Tiger* is batting!

de Caster is in the Tigers farm system?

Out, 6-3. 2 out.

Nice catch by Braun! 3 out.

That's what they said....AAA in fact.

According to this gameday USA doesn't have a second basemen or a #2 batter.

Why does the Netherlands have 12 players on the bench to our 5?

Pedroia was placed on the DL so they "called up?" Brian Roberts.

1 down.

Rollins out, WW (wasn't watching).

Base hit!

Hey, they put Roberts' name in! Base hit.

Jeter walks.

Now, go Yoooooooooooooooooooooouk.
