The world is a proverb

 The world is a republic of mediocrities, and always was.
  Thomas Carlyle

 I think the whole world is surprised to see that the USA lost. I mean, everybody knew that they had a good team . . . I think the whole world wants to see the USA and the Dominican Republic as the last two teams playing.

 I like a challenge, and I would like to pitch against the Dominican Republic at the World Baseball Classic.

 We're not going to walk into the World Cup thinking, 'Ah, you know, we beat Norway 5-0 and we beat Japan so now we're great and we're untouchable'. It's a reality check for a few guys and that's a good thing at this time so it doesn't happen on June 12 (when the U.S. team opens World Cup play against the Czech Republic).

 He has been successful with his experiences at several levels of play, including playing for the Czech National Team and representing the Czech Republic in the World Junior and World Championship tournaments. We feel he is ready to make the transition to professional hockey in North America.

 This is just a hint of what the games between the Dominican Republic and Venezuela will be during the World Baseball Classic.
