[wwepaperveiwreveiws]

good luck to the usa in the 2011 baseball world cup in panama lets see them lift that trophy again!

[Canadacup09]

DUDE USA owns baseball.. Their amateur athletes destroy other countries best athletes. 

[oopaulorafael]

LOL at 1:37 that guy is gay, he tapped his team-mate butt

[SenhordoBonfim]

38 BWC. Cuba 25 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze. USA 4 gold, 7 silver, 4 bronze.

2 WBC. Japan champions both times.

[american1great]

chapman throws 102 yes but doesnt have no control on his fastball and he cant even dominate in the  minors with his era.morales was an average player but then when he came to the u.s. thanks to our minor league system he got good.

[american1great]

Youkilis, Texiera, Fielder, Dunn, Lee, Berkman and Howard for 1B for us americans

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Youkilis was on WBC and he didnt do shit

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH yeah dont worry we will have the team we gonna shut cuba mouth up u will see and def urs

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great You cant get better team than what you had back in 06 and 09...you cant compete with Cuba...you should be able to beat Mexico a least

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH are u crazy we can get alot better sorry to say how come none of the pitchers i name wasnt playing? huh exactly the team can be alot better

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH lmao cant get a better team ur funny obviously u dont know how many good ballplayers that are born in america

[MrChicagoblackhawks]

Cuba would be a real powerhouse without Castro and all the stupid restrictions placed on players because of political bull crap. I want to see very good teams, its promotes the sport. I am proud of team USA because we have so many freakin haters out there, if you hate another country you can look yourself into the mirror. But there are always punk fans anywhere you go, that is the sport.

[MrPeruRican1989]

FUCK USA

[Canadacup09]

@MrPeruRican1989 USA own's sports you little bitch

[jmar28a]

since cuban players in mlb can't play for cuba, they should form their own team and call themselves the "Unified Team" like the former soviet athletes did in the olympics.

They should take all their cuban players from both the majors and the minors so they could have enough for a team!! Simple!!

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@jmar28a I know this comment was 3 month ago lol

Why ? why can every mlb player play for his country and cubans cant. Its fucking cuban government s fault. What you said wouldnt be fair for us because 95% of our talent is in Cuba....and the 5% that escape from the island to US. The point is that every team takes his best players to play for his country. There are not too many cubans in MLB because Fidel doesnt let them play here in US...so there are not nuff cubans in mlb to make a team.

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH yeah but not our best players hear is a website for u buddy its called the worldbaseballclassic look at the roster for the 06 and 09 teams and tell me the names that i said was on either those teams

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1 yes they were youk,pedrioa,longoria,wright,j­eter...u did mention those...and they all were part of the USA team. U 4got Rollings, Ganderson, David Wright and Dunn.

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH thats not our best we have far more talent than just that cuba is only stuck with those players lol we can come with different players every classic if we wanted too and we will win :)

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great you have no more talents that the dream team that couldnt win the wbc. Cuba stuck with players ?? Look for the Cuba`s team average age...we have a team made of young players and every generation comes out stronger. you are stuck with the same old legends like Chipper Jones lmao

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH are u dumb?ever heard of prospects like bryce harper,stransburg,stanton like i said before and the list goes on

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Dude I dont give a fuck about Stransburg...neither about these nobodies that have never played in international events

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH nobody?lmao u mean amateur events?lmao

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH mlb is where the talent is.stransburg see how he pitches in the minors and stanton how many hrs he hit and hyrper how hard he hit his homers cuba is stuck with the same players while usa keeps developing

[american1great]

@american1great what happen cuban guy cant say anything now usa has the best players so u can tell ur cuban buddys to come here and say something about this bc USA IS ON TOP!!!!

[AnotherYankee]

@american1great - Haha we even beat these fagots of Cuba in 2000 Olympic Games :]

[american1great]

@AnotherYankee exactly we did beat these guys and they think they are the shit bc they got their best players against not our best players lmao who are they fooling?

[american1great]

@AnotherYankee except for cuba and japan bc they take olympic tournament serious

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH what about jayson heyward another kid that came in :) power hitter

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH all i can say is cuba is gonna be surprise in the next wbc bc we gonna have alot of good players next one

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Cuba is gonna be surpriced ? You guys should surprice Mexico...I know the MLB, but you dont know bout the team cuba, you dont know names or statistics bout the team Cuba...we will always be the #1 in the rankings because the world knows about us.

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH if we didnt know the stats then how does the world knows ur # 1 lmao.usa is the best we dont have our best if we had managers like joe torre or better pitching coaches u will see

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great You gonna ask me that stupid question ? You want me to tell you why the world rank us # 1 ? u only know about mlb stas...the international baseball federation has the stats, you dont.

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH well to bad we beat u guys in the international game :)

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH usa is the best we created this game and we are the best in it we hold the homerun record we the best and how do i know ur players arent cheaters lmao

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great USA is a team made of crackheads that take steroids up his ass, American players are very famous for taking steroids and cheat. Mark Mc, Barry Bonds...they are all steroids users, Sammy Sosa playes in Chicago with an corked bat lol....Arod, Manny Ramirez...all steroid users hahahahhaa

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH sorry but usa players gotta take drug test if they wanna play in the ,mlb or the olympics unlike u cubans u guys def could be using it and sosa ,manny doesnt bother me at all bc there is so many more players to offer

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH all i know is we are sitting pretty with the title :)in our international game not the wbc we will get better though and we will win the whole thing u will see

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH oh by the way what position did we finish? oh yeah i forgot higher than cuba lmao :) USA USA USA USA

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great higher than Cuba ? not even in 4th place....you got eliminated by Mexico..thats humilliating....you almost got 1rst place, but we fall in 2nd. In 2009 we beat Mexico 16-4...the same Mexico you couldnt beat lol. In 2009 we played Japan first and we loss...you had fun playing  Italy and Venezuela, but when you played Japan you loss too. You never made it to the finals in 06 neither in 09...lame

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH lol its alright though bc everyone knows who has the best players in baseball

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great CUBA HAS THE BEST BASEBALL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH USA HAS THE BEST BASEBALL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH sorry but we are ahead of u guys this tournament we are sitting pretty and we beat u guys in this tournament too we are the champs:)

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH still waiting on what prospects are better usa prospects or cuba?:) lol

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Dude do you research about cuban prospects if you really care

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH stanton,heyward,stansburg,alva­rez,harper come on man lol u guys cant beat us

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH Harper hit .443 with 31 home runs and 98 RBI. Sounds like a great season, right? Well, it's better than that. Harper did that in just 66 games.

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great  USA BASEBALL = Roids

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH look who is the jealous lmao and cuba best playerin the mlb rafael palmero took steriods lmao

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH Strasburg is easily the best young pitching prospect in years, probably in decades, and maybe ever took that from a article to prove my point

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH strasburg throws 102 mph

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great even chapman throws 102 mph..wats the fucking deal ?

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH chapman throws 102 yeah but he has no control so how can be dominate lol

[elnino9striker]

but remember, there is a country in the Far East which beat both of the finalists in WBC

[jhguy1989]

i cant stand team usa at all

puerto rico all the way

[marck0938]

@jhguy1989 I can stand the cuban team at all.

[Cubano407]

Cuban baseball is going through a crisis recently, we are suffering from many desertions, also economy is taking a huge toll on our level since balls, gloves and bats are scarce, especially at the juvenile level. Something has to be done to save our national sport.

[marck0938]

@Cubano407 Yes something needs to be done FREEDOM FOR CUBA! DOWN WITH FIDEL! and you'll save the sport and the whole island.

[EstradaBank]

It is impressive, despite what you are stating is 100% true...Cuba is still ranked number 1 in the world! It makes me very proud.

[Gilb604]

is this world baseball classic?

[jhguy1989]

no this is a the baseball world cup

[IMTHETRUTHH]

Great victory for US..Im very happy... and Cuba always makes it to the finals. Sometimes we win...sometimes we dont

Dats what the sport is about

[SaxophoneItalian]

Forza cuba sempre!!Non importa se avete perso...

[scottyboy98]

Great game, thank you Team USA!

I think the cubans found out and the italians that were at the game a little different when you are playing AA and AAA players and not college players.

[kafu86]

place 2 at the wbc,dude!

[IMTHETRUTHH]

and USA loss to Mexico in the wbc..they didnt make it.

[IMTHETRUTHH]

We didnt find out anything bro. We know how good USA players are. We only proved that team Cuba is as good as any MLB team....better than most of them. A.Ramirez, Contreras, Hernandez, Betancourt,Escobar n Morales..they all play for MLB teams. Great victory for USA..Im very glad. I wanna see USA top team vs Cuba top team including the cubans that play for MLB

[305kubanboii]

who doesnt wish that bro? fucking castros...

[EstradaBank]

What a game...uuuffff!!! A lot of people would pay hundreds to witness such thing

[IMTHETRUTHH]

Modafuckers here talking shit bout the cuban team...pls ...we come here for the WBC on 2006 and eliminated all the major league teams (Venezuela,PR,DR) we took em all out because we are just better....N we coundt beat Japan because we had no pitchers and Cuba doesnt let MLB cubans player join the cuban team...each MLB player can play for his country..but cubans cant...we would have Kendry Morales, Livan, Contreras, A.Ramirez added to our team, but even without them we beat PR,DR n Venz

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH yeah just look at team usa we coudnt get our best of the best in 09 and 06 we didnt have our best of the best either

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great What do you mean ? ALL AMERICAN BASEBALL PLAYERS WERE ALLOWED TO PLAY IN THE WBC...IF MANY AMERICANS DIDNT FEEL MOTIVATED TO JOIN THE USA TEAM, THAT`S NOT MY FAULT.( WANT AND CAN`T IS NOT THE SAME). NAME THE BEST AMERICAN PLAYERS THAT DIDNT JOIN THE USA TEAM BECAUSE BUSH DIDNT LET THEM

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH there goes my point not our best players were playing

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great USA had the best players..even A-Rod played for the US team...u have no xcuses...USA couldnt even beat Mexico

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH had?we can put all the good players if we wanted too and we didnt have the best pitching so its not our best team

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH difference between ur country and my country that americans can make their own decisions and ur country force people to play for cuba

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great americans can make their own decision...then why are u here crying saying that you didnt have your best players. USA had dream team and failed...cuba cant add the mlb cuban players to the team...and look how far we made it...cant u imagine if we could make own decisions ?

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH usa didnt have the dream team the dream is listed u have players like winn playing on a team? like come on thats not a dream team

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great you know even respect your players...you deny that Jetter,Youk, Wright Arod and Rollings are a dream team

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH they are a dream team but not a complete team though

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH its a dream team but not the whole team is a dream team

[Canadacup09]

@IMTHETRUTHH All cuban mlb players are awful anyway.. And Teams USA's wbc team was like their D team.

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@Canadacup09 @Canadacup09 Educate urself bitch b4 talking shit. Cuba is ranked #1 in every WBC and ranked #1 on the olympic medal table, and we have olympic medals since 92 gold, 96gold, 00 silver, 2004 gold and 2008 silver. We have 5 medals 3 gold n 2 silver....U.S.A only has 3, 1 gold and 2 bonze..how many Canada has ? lol...get fucked in the ass bitch.

[Canadacup09]

@IMTHETRUTHH Again that is because US college players represent their country instead of US major league allstars, which would destroy Cuba's national team. So go educate yourself punk. If Roy Halladay was on the mound he would no hit these clowns.. He could have a hs team playing behind him it wouldnt matter.

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@Canadacup09 Contreras past his prime 10 years ago, is like me talking shit about Roger Clemen it makes no sense because he got old. WBC 2006 was the test...Cuba couldnt add MLB cuban players to the national team, and we defeated The MLB Prico team, MLB Venezuela team and MLB DRepublic team...we ended up in 2nd place and thats without using MLB cuban players..we almost beat Japan to win the WBC.and U.S ? well, U.S superstars LOSS to MEXICO. Chapman out in 3 years ? Strasburg was the one injured

[rodolfitocarlos420]

@IMTHETRUTHH acabaste con el gringo jajaja nice one

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH by the way bush had nothing to do with that

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great I know..Bush has nothing to do with that, but Fidel has everything to do with the team Cuba

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH yeah i heard fidel made them go through intense programs lmao but the u.s. will win u will see ur best pitcher defected to the u.s. chapman u think chapman is better than strasburg?

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great I know some of our best players defected to u.s. Chapman probably is 100 times better than Starsburg, but he has never played in mlb, starsburg has never play in Cuba neither. We has to wait and see hoe each one does. The Reds announced that they had signed Chapman to a six-year contract, worth $30.25 million according to MLB sources, so he cant be that bad...dont you think?

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH debut 14 strikeouts?lmao please he even made miguel cabrera look foolish

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH chapman sucks if he was that good he would be playing the mlb already stransburg is

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH if chapman is that good why he was strugling before in the minors lol

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great I never said chapman is good...you gotta ask MLB why they want him so bad. USA sucks so they need cuban players...a mediocre pitcher in Cuba is always a superstar here in USA. Kendry Morales was an average player in Cuba and here he is best players Angels have lmao

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH u said chapman can beat stransburg lol.bc he has talent but not better than stransburg,u know why he got so good bc of our teachings thats why he is so good just look at chapman how come cuba dont teach him to control his fastball.morales became a star bc of our minor league system and chapman was consider the best cuban pitcher so with a era like that in the minor league is funny its making cuba look foolish lmao

[Canadacup09]

@IMTHETRUTHH Strasburg is ten times better than Chapman.. Strasburg is a pitcher, Chapman is a thrower... Chapman will be out of the MLB in 3 years.

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH we have players like carwford,ellsbury,prince fieder,jason heyward,youk,pedrioa,longoria,­wright,jeter,howard,derrek lee,utley,werth,mark texeira,jason bay,matt kemp etc we got alot more talent so cuba wont even compare to the u.s. born players :)

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Cuba can`t even compare to U.S because Cuba is much better in baseball. You are not gonna get me to talk bad about about USA because this is my country too and I love it. I support USA team any sport..and yes I agree..all those guys you mentioned are american superstars, all of them played in the WBC and they did really bad.

[american1great]

@all of them havent play so keep wishing u fake american

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Cuba has players you dont know about because Fidel doesnt let them play here in US. Theres only room for fame if you play in MLB and thats why 90% of my guys are not known in US...theres is a 10% that escaped from Cuba and those are very famous in the MLB. With my cuban team made of unknown guys in the US, I went to face Japan in the finals 06...your team loss to Mexico, and thats humilliating. I beat PR, Venez, DR and these are all MLB superstars.FAMOUS IN US, DOESNT MEAN BETTER

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH name some prospects that are very famous?i can def show u has more talent

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great u cant compare because Cuba is on another level...We proved that Cuba is much superior than USA,PR,DR and Venezuela ...and these were all made of MLB players

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH by what one world baseball classic?

lmao u guys didnt win anything lol

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great no, but we got 2nd placed...we beat all mlb teams and we almost beat Japan to win the cup. That is an honorable place. You didnt even make it....you loss to Mexico lol

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH but who place higher in the standings the last wbc?lmao exactly so we are sitting pretty cuba sucks

[IMTHETRUTHH]

@american1great Sitting where u fucking mongoloide ...we are ranked # 1 in the world..we beat U.S 90 out 100 times we play. We are the Olympic champs 92 GOLD, 96 GOLD, 2000(SILVER), 2004 GOLD, 2008 (SILVER)...CUBA SUCKS ? GO TRY TO BEAT MEXICO BITCH...THEY TOOK YOU OUT OF WBC AND OUT OF THE OLYMPICS IN 2004 LOL

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH yeah we will see when we have our best of the best then u will shut up ur Best team u guys can def beat our C TEAM but u guys havent faced our best of the best as a team

[american1great]

@IMTHETRUTHH all the mlb teams?lmao

[fidelista537]

Gane o no gane CUBA campeón.

[paiwanhan]

wait, what happened at 1:38? Did Borrero 53 think he popped the ball up and it ended up as an homerun?

[romcaguma]

Most probably.

[Romanicos1]

Tremenda labor de Elvin Orozco, creo que cumplió con su papel, pero luego no volvió a aparecer como abridor.

[romcaguma]

Yes, we did it. 1973,1974,2007,2009. Thanks, guys.

[paponettuno]

IO C'ERO!!!!!! FORZA CUBA ORA E SEMPRE... Nettuno grandissima come sempre!!!
