One Tough Dominican

Pedro looking to play for his home country.

Elster88 does not like this. Omar should've put a clause in his contract saying no pitching for any team but the Mets. _____________________________ This post had the designation 138) Rickey Henderson

What's with the Rickification of Elster?

I don't like this but I'm willing to see how things play out, Pedro is smart and I trust his judgment, plus I can't knock a guy for wanting to play for his country.

I think 88 is going to be in the third person for about 18 more posts.

Ah - I get it. Thanks Edgy.

I'm all for international competition with the world's best players participating so I can't disapprove of this.

So instead of a couple of spring training games he plays in the international competition. I'm sure that they'll be some guidelines from the clubs as to how many pitches pitchers can throw, etc. I got no problem with this.

I suppose the concern might be that he wants to pitch for the Licey Tigers in the Dominican winter league, but again I know nothing about that league , if he did pitch for the Tigers how many games would that be?...

Especially since he was all about wanting to go home and get some rest toward the end of the year. Elster88 guesses he meant he wanted to go home and pitch some more there. And then join his home country's team and pitch some more around the globe with them. _____________________________ This post had the designation 138) Rickey Henderson

in fairness; he'd be in spring training one way or another at the time of the world classic. I'd love to be able to represent my country - and wouldn't want to stop anyone else - would you?

And then there's one tough Venezuelan: The Philadelphia Daily News reports Ugueth Urbina was questioned by police after several men claimed he assaulted them. The incident happened early Sunday after a welcome-home party for Urbina at his Venezuelan home. He reportedly got into an argument with a couple of his workers. "He hit us, threatened us with machetes, poured gasoline on us, and it was only by chance that he didn't burn us all," one of the men said.

Elster- Awesome. I just got it. Very funny.

Elster88 Oct 19 2005 11:30 PM

Thank you. Elster88 is enjoying himself immensly. He might be enjoying himself a little too much, and was wondering how other people would react. ____________________________ This post had the designation 138) Rickey Henderson
