Hey does anyone know how Cuba is doing or how they did???


Cuba beat Panama yesterday 8-6 in 11 innings.

Their only game so far.




Chilenita.... Cuba DID Panama in.

Not without a lot of fight and good heart struggle.

By the way, what a cleam game, no bad spirits -lots of players getting hit by pitchers, and the english commentators were all surprised that "these latino players are not kicking the $hit out of each other". Both teams made two or three fatal tactical decisions each, but who's perfect anyways?

I'll say it again: a team ran out of good players, and the other didn't. The second won.

Panama's head held high for finale
Despite two early losses, squad has accounted itself well
By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com

SAN JUAN -- Panama may not be fighting for a spot in the second round when it takes the field on Friday afternoon, but the team will certainly be playing for pride against the Netherlands in its final game of the World Baseball Classic.

Panama dropped a pair of heartbreakers this week, essentially eliminating it from second round contention.

Puerto Rico beat Panama, 2-1, on Tuesday, as Alex Rios and Bernie Williams came up with clutch hits for the home team.

On Wednesday, Panama made a late comeback against Cuba to force extra innings, but Cuba pulled out an 8-6 victory in 11 innings, giving Panama an 0-2 mark in Pool C.

"It was a tough game, one we could have won," said Bruce Chen, who started against Cuba and allowed two runs over five innings. "We're practically eliminated, but we played hard and showed people that we have the level of players to compete in this tournament."

Panama will take on the Netherlands in the first game of a day-night doubleheader on Friday, with Puerto Rico and Cuba playing in the nightcap to close out the first round of the tournament.

Ruben Rivera (.375, 3-for-8) and Olmedo Saenz (.300, 3-for-10) have been the most productive hitters in the first two games, while Carlos Lee has been held in check by his opponents, compiling just a .222 average.

Despite the two tough losses, Panama has nothing to be ashamed about. The team was considered an underdog before the World Baseball Classic began, but it played both Puerto Rico and Cuba tough enough to earn plenty of respect.

"When we came here, we were the underdogs," said manager Anibal Reluz after the Puerto Rico game. "We showed that we can do better than that.

"Our team played with a lot of heart, and we could have won both of the games," Chen said. "We didn't win, though, so for all intents and purposes, we're out of the running. Our team played well enough that when this event is held again, we hope to be invited to play again."
