I'm glad the Czech team managed to finish in 3rd place, against Israel(ish conveniently Jewish Americans), (Caribbean) Netherlands, Jersey Shore (aka Italy) and (Former) Spain('s Colonial Empire).

To be perfectly honest, Italy having 40 players in baseball + softball would be such a waste of quotas.  A lot of events have fewer total quotas than that.   So, I'm hoping for Israel and Ne

Second final score of the tournament:

:ISR 3 - 0 :ESP

 

Spain’s offense never really goy going. Israel now faces Italy and the Netherlands on back to back days.

:ISR Israel beat :ESP Spain 3-0, with a 3-hit complete game shutout by their pitcher, Joseph Wagman...:hatoff:

 

 

:ITA Italy and :RSA South Africa still in the locker rooms because of heavy rain in Parma (and I think that for tonight we're done and dusted...I don't see any chance for the weather to change in the next hour or so...and by rule the game can't re-start after Midnight)...

currently, the score is 4-4 after the usual nightmarish start by Alessandro Maestri, nowadays absolutely boiled and frankly not good enough anymore to play at this level...:facepalm::wall:

Also, Israel might as well be the USA’s B team. Over half the roster is from the US.

 

also ITA and ESP have a lot of players who were not born in the Countries they're representing right now...

 

and actually even the Kingdom of the Netherlands have the same "nature"...

 

it's called "globalisation"...:lol:

game over in Parma...the rain won't stop early enough...the match will resume on Friday morning (most likely, when both teams will be in Parma once again, meanwhile tomorrow they will play in Bologna -and a match can't start in one place and end in another)...

no, baseball has a long tradition also here in Italy...but nowadays it's declining more and more...there are always less kids playing, so we have to go with a lot of guys with Italian heritage, but not born and raised here...

 

it's the same for many disciplines (also Ice Hockey has this same problem, but I could name quite a few more)...

That is definitely not one of the perks of the US not being a homogeneous society. We generally have good/decent levels, or at least “true” US athletes in every Olympic and World Games sport.

      Yes, everyone is Orbán-supporter who doesn't believe Ukraine is snow white! How will change GDP if the price of the petrol increases? Because the main pipeline is shut down! And there is no any problem according by the EU!

      Your favorite moments at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By orangeman · Posted

      Although it was a terrible Olympics for Canada, and my two favourite sports (Hockey and Short Track) really didn't work out for us, there were a couple of fun times.    -Women's Pursuit team winning gold because while it was not unexpected at all, it was still a great triumph against an amazing adversary.    -Dubreuil getting a surprise bronze in speed skating 500m.    -Really all of speed skating, Canada and otherwise.    -I really want to say Dubois getting gold in short track, but the whole thing was a mess.    -The last two ends of the men's curling gold medal game.    -Kingsbury getting gold. But it was more relief than excitement, unfortunately.    -I really like the luge relay. Canada was not involved, unfortunately, but it's always fun to watch.    -Men's freeski big air final was nuts! In all the good ways. That was truly the highest level of competition I've seen in a very long time.    -The dog crossing the finish line in cross country, which should have been the meme of the Olympics (not that...other thing).

      Apparent Gu and Atkin do not like each other at all anymore. They were good freinds a few years ago but now hate one another.  I’m not sure Gu and Li Fanghui like each other either that much.

      It was also nice to have actual crowds again. I think the Beijing organizers did the best they could given the COVID regulations that still existed in China at the time, but it sure did dampen the atmosphere *a lot*.
