    The lack of DUAN is sort of emblematic of this day on Deadspin. FAIL.

    What we need is some sort of Baseball Championship Series, or BCS for short, to make sure that only the big name countries can play in the championship game. This is a brilliant idea and I can't believe it hasn't been thought of before.

    that a single baseball game is basically a dice roll and says little about who's actually better.


    Yet, as you note, the Dutch beat DR twice.


    It's a double-elimination format, just like the College World Series. So you're saying that the Dutch are like Fresno State?


    Yeah, last year's CWS really sucked for college baseball, didn't it?

    @Clarence Rosario: Two rolls of the die, then. His point is that the Dutch just aren't that good, and they didn't have to prove otherwise to be a part of the tournament. Fresno State qualified for the CWS. So no, the Dutch aren't like Fresno State.

    @Quick Draw: Fine. So if the Dutch advance to the next round, will everyone shut the fuck up?


    Who gives a shit *how* they got there. The argument isn't like Selection Sunday, where teams get left out at the expense of other teams. It's about what teams do when they get there.


    Fresno State had to win their conference tournament (improbably) to make the CWS (improbably) and survive the format to win (improbably).


    Why can't we just enjoy it?

    Want to weed out the weaker teams?


    Beat them in games. That sends them home immediately.

    Sure, there's more to commenting than taking part of the post out of context and making rude jokes with them.


    I'll be damned though, if "last night's elimination game" doesn't make me think of some sort of late-night competitive pooping event involving Randall Simon, A-Rod and a hot tub.

    Dutchman Bert Blyleven cannot believe how bad the Dominicans fucked it up. He believes if the Dominicans had their way, they would do the fuckin' thing over again.
