US fails to make baseball tryouts for 2004 olympics
 

Anyone hear about this? We lost the tryouts to Mexico, so we wont be competing in baseball in the next summer olympics.

omfg thats like canada not making it into.........wait that will never happen... that is the saddest shit ive heard about in a long time. That is something to be very ashamed about.

lol...thats just bad annoy:

It just goes to show how full of ourselves we are, we're shocked that other people play a sport better than we can.

Someone get Bush on the horn, divert all war efforts to getting a US baseball team in the olympics.

i think its funny. you know the last time i checked, it seems that after the dreamteam basketball team of 92, we get closer to losing the basketball gold medal every 4 years.

i think its funny how we have the world series yet we cant beat anybody else in the world

I didn't think any professional baseball players played for the US olympic team.

But seriously, does anyone really care? :\

Youve got to be shiting me!!! Against Mexico? Go United States rolleyes:

Have you ever seen like those central america places play ball.

I saw a game in Puerto Rico, they are fucking amazing.

Don't cry, America can't win everything, geeze.

I can't beileve they had almost all minor leaugers out there. GG. mad:

News flash: Canada loses Hockey tryouts to Brazil



*ducks behind couch, cuz canucks are crazy for hockey*

Did you Yanks know you had a rugby team that just competed in the World Cup?

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...

FOOTBALL
FOOTBAWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

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?

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.

Well, if we actually put MAJOR LEAGUERS in there instead of all minor leaguers we would of one. Gawd

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)

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.

i have a sudden urge to play rugby but i dont know anything about the sport. its a shame its not popular in the us

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....
