I didn't even know the Dutch knew any other sports than speed skating (ice) and football.

Hell Yeah!!!!

The Dutch are excellent at drinking and smoking massive amounts of marijuana. They should "sport" that

Baseball sucks, who the fuck cares?!?!?!

Clearly not you, and that's cool, but on a larger scale this is a HUGE story.
Virtually nobody even knew the Netherlands had a baseball team, let alone a competitive one. The Dominican Team was laden with major leaguers whose cumulative salaries were something like 80 million dollars (don't quote me on that but I think it's what I heard). So this is a classic David defeats Goliath, feel good story, and a very good thing for the sport.

Granted the Dominican major leaguers may not have been 100% psyched for an event that commands little respect in the U.S., but even factoring that in this was still a GIGANTIC upset.

We have a football team ? or is that the same thing as soccer.

Don't forget Remy our K-1 champ which I think Badr should have been but shit happens. Actually the Dutch K-1 fighters been dominating a few years now.

Nah, not jealous... not really at least. I don't like marijuana. I DO like to drink though... :dunno:

Wasn't trying to say every Dutch person is a pothead either... In fact, I'm not even sure what I was trying to say

I am a retard :thumbsup:

Either The Netherlands or Italy are always European Champions baseball if that coints for anything.

This is off course a stupid remark. In fact the number of people doing maruihuana in The Netherlands -call it funny yet it's true, are among the lowest in Europe (When do all the stupid tourists come to realise the coffeeshops are just a marketing tool and a tourist trap?)
When it comes to drinking we are off course nothing to the British, Germans and Belgians.

That's kind of like when the American basketball Dream Team lost to whoever-the-fuck-they-lost-to in the Olympics. Go underdogs!

Netherlands upsets Dominican Republic in World Baseball Classic

I thought maybe they had taunted them or something, and that's why the Domincan Republic was upset. :crying:

But way to go for them! I didn't even know baseball existed in Europe!
