Well, actually you're not, if you can't even get into the olympics.

How can you kick ass when you have no ass to kick?

[quote="Sicilian_Summers":a70e3]I didn't think any professional baseball players played for the US olympic team.

But seriously, does anyone really care? :\[/quote:a70e3]

hes right, in the past we used to use top college players/prospects...now we just use amateur boons who couldnt hack it in the majors. what do you expect? lol i cant imagine if we got a dreamteam together of US baseball professionals. ownage on a whole new scale. however, the dominican team would own too. its all hypothetical, would be sweet if they played in the olympics like the nba guys did.

I did not know that. Figures seeing how Rugby is an early form of football. I read a huge thing about how foot ball would never have come about if rugby hadnt been played in the ivy leage schools here9Harvard, yale those guys)

They did get knocked out of the comp, but they're really quite a good team this year.

I just thought it was interesting because I've never heard any of you supporting the U.S rugby team...

New Zealand = Rugby + teh orgasm's

Canada beat the Tongans in our last game. Those guys think their so tough with their Tongan dance and beating of their chest, but we still killed them.

Too bad we can't play them every game. think we finished 1-3, so we were eliminated.

And Canada beat Mexico in baseball. I think were still in it. I think we might have played today against columbia, but i'm not sure.

Hmmm.....I wouldn't say that at all. The only thing in common is that you run with a similar shaped ball in your hand.

Totally different sports.

Yeah, you guys always do quite well.....Mind you, the Tongans have been full of themselves lately. Apparently they were going to "kick our arses," or so they said.....That's just funny. We fucked them up.

That dance is a tribal war dance. The only reason they do that at the start of sports games, is because they copied us.....

You should take it up, I played for like 5 years - IMO, It's going to get a lot more popular in the U.S as time goes on.

It's a fucking thrilling sport to watch. If you guys had a national league like us, you'd get good very quickly....
