emanuelsaavedra Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 are you guys serious? Cuba is a team made out of players that have been playing together for a while, and on top of that, all of their roster is made out of MLB ready players. Lets be serious, the US is a great team , and Australia and all the other. But you are comparing men to kids. I wish that the WBC was more often, so that we could Cuba face some really good teams. You guys saw Cuba play and beat great teams in the WBC, they'll win this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteamo Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 If USA doesn't win it, I hope the Netherlands does. They seemed to score a lot of runs against teams that played Cuba well. But the Cuba / Japan rematch should be good. What channels do these games come on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HFLR Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Team USA wins gold at World Cup Ends Cuba's 25-year tournament run with 6-3 victory Team USA ended a 33-year drought -- and Cuba's 25-year dominance -- at the IBAF World Cup with a 6-3 victory in the gold medal game on Sunday in Taiwan. Rockies prospect Jayson Nix and Phillies farmhand Jason Jaramillo each had two RBIs for the United States, which built an early five-run cushion and held on to win this biennial tournament for the first time since 1974. Cuba has won the event 25 times, including every time it had been contested since 1984. But the Cubans totaled only seven hits against four pitchers and settled for their first World Cup silver medal since 1941. Angels farmhand Steven Shell (1-0) got the win in relief, allowing one run on two hits with three strikeouts over three innings. Jerry Blevins (Athletics) retired both batters he faced and Jeff Stevens (Indians) got the final two outs. Stevens was mobbed at the mound after Rays prospect Justin Ruggiano caught Ariel Pestano's fly ball to right field to end the game. After losing to Italy, 6-2, on Nov. 9, Team USA outscored its opponents, 45-16, during a seven-game winning streak. Nix drew a bases-loaded walk in a three-run second inning as the United States chased starter Yadel Marti (1-1). Jaramillo started the scoring with an RBI single, then plated another run with a base hit in the third. Nix, who had 11 homers and 58 RBIs in 124 games with Triple-A Colorado Springs over the summer, smacked his first roundtripper of the tournament in the fourth to extend the lead to 5-0. Team USA starter Brian Duensing (Twins) cruised into the fifth, when he gave up a two-out, two-run single to Alfredo Despaigne and was replaced by Shell. The United States padded its lead in the seventh. Evan Longoria (Rays) hit a leadoff single and Dodgers prospect Delwyn Young doubled to the warning track in right field. Ruggiano followed with a bloop single to center fielder that scored Longoria, but Young was thrown out at the plate. Cuba finally got to Shell in the eighth, when Yuliesky Gourriel hit a two-out double and scored on Alexander Mayeta's bloop single to center field. Well congratulations to the USA team!
