Yanks Win, Cubans Lose


Interesting day. Team USA had a decent live action batting practice...and Puerto Rico--behind BER-NIE Williams (another HR) and Beltran (ditto)--made Cuba's squad look like BP pitchers.

How good is the P.R.? About as good as Bernie, Beltran, Pudge and an under-rated pitching staff.

How good is Cuba? Probably not as good as 19 straight international amateur victories suggested. Latin pro ball has clearly encroached on their historic dominance. But everything broke for PR tonight in San Juan. I think Cuba will still make Round 2 interesting.

Hi again.

So Clemens looked mid-season tough against South Africa. Of course, it was only South Africa, but still, do you think he's coming back? I don't see how he can resist; does he look like he's ready for gardening with his wife & running errands?

How have the Unit & the rest of the Yankee pitchers looked in Spring Training?

Cheers
Adam
