We have to start with the WBC… it was bad enough that USA lost to Italy last night, but for DeRosa to have thought that the US had punched their ticket to the quarterfinals after the win over Mexico takes things to a new level.
Apparently team USA sat around telling stories and drinking beer after the win over Mexico and there were some guys who weren’t feeling too great yesterday as DeRosa told MLB Network. How did no one correct him and tell him they weren’t guaranteed a spot in the quarters yet?
The US went out and gave up 5 runs early to Italy… sloppy defensive play added three more runs and the US found themselves in an 8-0 hole before their bats woke up.
Now we wait to see what happens with Italy and Mexico today and can only hope that the US isn’t eliminated.
:30- The Drama in the WBC wasn’t the only thing going on last night…
The Baltimore Ravens backed out of the trade with the Raiders for Maxx Crosby, saying he didn’t pass their physical.
This morning they have conveniently signed Trey Hendrickson to a 4-year deal and got to keep their first round draft picks.
So, did Crosby fail the physical or did the Ravens just get cold feet?
:45- We told you there was a lot going on, so we head to the NBA, where Bam Adebayo dropped 83 points last night.
But it was not without controversy as 43 points came from free throws and the Heat were doing all they could to get him the ball and more time to score.
