Don't worry, everyone. The USA can still be eliminated today by losing to Canada 1-0.

I want the US to lose and Israel (which is basically also a US team) to win, specifically to spite Ian Kinsler and the rest of my people who think they're too good for the mensch on the bench

Championship may have been avoided if we granted the cool and good Puerto Rico statehood. Should be a good game!

Whatever Puerto Rico chooses, the best to Puerto Rico. Would be great to have them as a state. Is independence on the table for the referendum? I am vastly undereducated in the matter.

Popete posted:

Im pretty sure Puerto Rico has been voting against statehood for awhile now but I'm not well educated on the subject.

They've been voting to retain the weird quasi-american/quasi-independent status; of the actual choices that aren't "stay in this weird void where we're americans but not fully", statehood seems to have the most support. The other options are full independence and something called free association, which I don't even remotely understand: if statehood doesn't win, there's a second vote between these two options. The key thing about this referendum is removing the option for the status quo.

No one really knows how the status quo voters will go; the whole place is dealing with a budget crisis, so the governor of the island pretty desperately wants statehood for the sake of federal funding (and also because the current setup is uncomfortably similar to colonialism), but the public could go in any direction.

I wouldn't consider myself an expert or anything, mind you, but I think this is the current situation.

Jumping in way late, but is this the only way to watch the game without MLB Network? The barflies are getting restless as we don't have MLBN on our basic cable.

Might be the only way legally, but I know someone posted a youtube link to the mlb stream and there are always a bunch of streaming sites that will give you the feed and at least 50 viruses
