Mexico vs. Dominican Republic - Final
2006-02-06 15:36
by Bob Timmermann

Mazatlan vs. Licey on Day 5 of the Caribbean Series.

The Dominican Republic team must win this game to ensure that its matchup tomorrow against Venezuela will be meaningful. Mexico has lost all four of its games in the Caribbean Series, but second baseman Edgar Gonzalez is batting .786.

Puerto Rico (Carolina) plays Venezuela (Leones de Caracas) tonight. Venezuela is 4-0.

Update -- The D.R. team says alive with a 3-1 win over Mexico, running their record to 4-1 for the Series. Licey got 16 men on base for the game, but could plate just three. Mexico's only run came on a wild pitch.

Dumb question: how do you pronounce "Licey"? It doesn't seem to follow normal Spanish language parameters. Is it lee-say?

Mazatlan's OK, but Doc and Julie and I are pulling for Puerto Vallarta.

"Licey" isn't a Spanish word, but rather Taino.

So I don't know.

Sorry, my Taino is a little rusty.

nickb - that's exactly how you pronounce it. www.licey.com Licey is the Dominican Republic's version of the Yankees with 19 championships won nationally and 9 in the Carribean Series.

Thanks, Dimelo. That always bugged me. Now I can resume following the Carribean World Series in peace.
