Don't expect much out of the Netherlands in the WBC (Sidney Ponson sighting!)

"My" USF Bulls played an exhibition game over in Tampa tonight against the Netherlands National Baseball team, the same team that will have to play the Dominican Republic in roughly one week. Sidney Ponson's fat-behind surrended 3 runs in the first inning and the Netherlands had to rally in the 8th innning to make the game end in a Tie, 4-4 (it's an exhibition, so no extras). In other news, Randall Simon (yes, the guy that attacked the bratwurst, or whatever it was) had a couple hits for the Netherlands too.
Just for reference, USF is projected to finish 2nd in the Big East in Baseball this year and is currently receiving votes in the top 30 polls......Good luck against the DR! LOL!
P.S.- They even had USF play with WOOD bats, as opposed to the aluminum that they're used to, yet they still had no problem hammering Ponson.

I wasn't at the game tonight. My brother-in-law was my on-scene reporter.
As for Spring Training...... I've been a little busier this year, plus the Dodgers moved out so the next closest team besides the Nationals is now about 1 1/2 hours away. I've only been to ONE Nationals practice, forgot the camera, and the Spring season starts tomorrow
I still plan on driving over to the stadium after Nationals weekday games to try and nab some autographs, and I'll still probably get to a game per weekend.
<< <i>After sitting the Netherlands down in order in the top of the first, the Bulls collected three runs on three hits off of current free agent and former Yankee and Oriole Sidney Ponson.
"It doesn’t matter who you play against, when you step in between these two white lines, you have to be able to play," said Ponson. "These guys are pretty good. They have good fundamentals. This program is going to be very good for this school."
The Bulls collected a pair of hits in the second, but were held scoreless in the half inning. Ponson left the game after two frames, giving up three runs on five hits and striking out three. >>
