Good luck Capper Dan, Lets go Bucs, 17 losing seasons but not on this night, good news on the horizon......



I'm speaking specifically about Pedro Alvarez, who has just a bit of pressure on his shoulders as the future of the organization.

So far, young Pedro has held up well, with 27 HR and 95 RBI between single and double-A ball in his 2009 debut season. But he really broke loose today at the 2009 World Cup, hitting three home runs (one to each field) and knocking in six to pace Team USA to a 14-3 victory over Chinese Taipei in Torino, Italy. Not bad for a guy batting in the seven hole.

Alvarez's three home runs set an individual record for the tournament, and the USA's six as a team tied a tournament record. USA (6-1, 4-0 in round two) will next face Australia on Friday at 8 PM (2 PM ET) at Stadio De Benedetti in Piacenza, Italy.
