Hey Ben,

I just showed some players your website, they like it !!!

They just played against Cuba, they lost 2-1, but played very well. Also due to some strange decisions of the umpire, tomorrow China, hopefully they win this one.

Dude thanks for the updates man!

One of these days, we'll get by Cuba. I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Anyways, thanks for showing the boys the site, let 'em know that we(the fans)are behind them 100%!

"Jia Yo!"

BTW, the Dutch NT is looking good!

I do not care about the Dutch team, just the TW team. They are playing with the senior squad, there are even two players with MLB experience.

The biggest thing that surprises me about this team is the starting pitching. Headlined by Tseng, a few of the other starters have been solid. I'm just disappointed in how quiet the bats have been.

Watching the games in person, do you get the same feeling Cor?
