I guess MLB Network will be showing a lot of this. Hey, it's February and baseball is right around the corner! http://www.seriedelcaribe2009.net/english/index.html

I hope to watch some of these games. My cable company says that MLB Network in HD is on their "Coming Soon..." list. So that's good.

Un jonrón de Martínez le dio la victoria a los dominicanos sobre la novena puertoriqueña MEXICALI, BAJA CALIFORNIA.- El bateador emergente Fernando Martínez pegó un jonrón de dos carreras en la séptima entrada para dar a los Tigres de Licey dominicanos una victoria por 2-1 sobre los Leones de Ponce puertorriqueños en la Serie del Caribe de béisbol. En un partido muy cerrado, los Leones habían tomado ventaja en la cuarta entrada con sencillos de Jesús Feliciano, Andy González y Carlos Rivera para empujar la carrera y se encaminaban al éxito con sobresaliente actuación del lanzador Héctor Mercado. Después de seis entradas y dos tercios, Mercado dio una base por bolas a José Bautista y fue cambiado por José Vaquedano, quien recibió un cuadrangular del emergente Martínez para decidir el encuentro. Alfredo Simón permitió cinco 'hits' en siete entradas con siete ponches propinados y se llevó la victoria, con salvamento de Julio Mañón, quien lanzó la última entrada en blanco. Con la victoria, los Tigres, campeones defensores, llegaron a un juego ganado y uno perdido y mantienen en sus manos la posibilidad de retener el cetro, mientras los Leones se han complicado porque con dos reveses consecutivos, necesitan ganar cuatro juegos seguidos y esperar por una combinación de resultados para, quizás en un juego extra, disputar el cetro. La segunda jornada terminará hoy con un mano a mano entre los Venados de Mazatlán mexicanos y los Tigres de Aragua venezolanos, que marchan invictos.

I saw a Mets mano-a-mano (I hope that's right) match-up in the early game yesterday as De Los Santos faced Jesus Feliciano [url]http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Feliciano%2C%20J%20%20CF&pos=&sid=l162&t=p_pbp&pid=440351[/url] in the 8th inning with De Los Santos trying to protect a one-run lead (F-Mart hit a 2 run homer). DLS got the first batter, went 3-0 on the next (pitching away the whole time), threw ball 4 but the batter swung and missed (Cookie Rojas, doing color, got mad at that), and the batter lined out. Then Feliciano (lefty-lefty matchup) hit a double that just missed going out. DLS was replaced and the run didn't score. It's hard following these games because the players don't have their names on the unis (unless they are all named "Orange"). A graphic appears when the player comes to the plate but if you miss it, you're lost.

="Edgy DC":29yyay7y]Viva Fernando.[/quote:29yyay7y] Si Si. Here's the video of the game winning dinger my kid hit yesterday:(plus the story - in English) http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd ... p&c_id=mlb Later John Cougar Lunchbucket Feb 04 2009 12:06 PM Here's a funny thing I found in a writeup of the opener while searching for nooz on Casanova: ]The Mexico-Puerto Rico game was moved back an hour from its original scheduled time of 6 p.m. for the opening ceremonies that started with the presentation of each team, including national anthems. Singing Mexico’s national anthem was Julio Preciado, a well-known singer in the country, but after his per-formance he might as well move to a different country. Preciado sang the national anthem out of synchronization, which the crowd replied with boos and whistling. It was so bad the microphone was turned off before he could finish the song. After the microphone was turned back on, Preciado blamed his bad performance on an awful feedback from the sound system. No matter what the reason, Preciado left the field amid boos and cups of beverages thrown at him. Edgy DC Feb 04 2009 12:19 PM Say what you will about Julio, but don't say he doesn't love trees. <img src="http://mgn.musicgiants.com/mgnv2/version3/artwork/f2961630-2922-44b8-9b95-df6707ced99cmedium.jpg"> Kong76 Feb 05 2009 07:09 PM Pulsipher is pitching tonight for Puerto Rico. I thought he was from Georgia or Mississippi. Kong76 Feb 06 2009 07:13 PM I don't know if this is in another thread, but Fernando Martínez went back to NY for a lookee at his elbow or something at the request of the Mets. Dude is starting to get the injury-prone tag? Frayed Knot Feb 07 2009 05:18 AM Newsday: The Mets announced Friday that Fernando Martinez, their highly regarded young outfielder, has a strained right elbow and will rest for three weeks before resuming a throwing program. So this at least prevents him from hitting the ground running when ST starts. On the other hand it's not like he'll be out of shape after playing much of the winter and, assuming this isn't a long-term problem, it might almost be a good thing seeing as it'll take the idea of starting the season with him in Queens from creeping into anyone's mind. metirish Feb 07 2009 05:58 AM ="Kong76":i3pptdpk]Pulsipher is pitching tonight for Puerto Rico.

I probably thought I was being clever or funny ... I should stop that.
