Game 6 still tied at 6 after 11 innings.
No way I'm rooting for the Tomateros so the series might as well end today...or tomorrow morning if it takes that long.

@beisbolcards what don't you like about the Tomateros? I'm rather appreciative that they broadcast their games online for free.

Mostly petty grievances.
Late 2004. Their owner helped boot the Toros de Tijuana after their successful inagural season in the summer league. New owners tried to cash in but their greed didn't fare well.
I even boycotted his supermarket chain for a few years.
But historically they have been one of the best teams in the league and have had a really good squad recently.
Had they gone to the Serie del Caribe, I'd happily root for them.

@beisbolcards I don't know much about the history of the team, I don't speak spanish very well and I mostly started watching them because I was wanting to see some baseball in the middle of the winter to make it a bit warmer here in chicago.

Long overshadowed by fútbol, baseball has improved the fan experience a lot in the last 10-20 years: streaming, tv, shops, ballparks. Really good to see that.
I was even surprised
had American-born players in the last WBC, but the team benefited from it.
's are fine, just need a team to boo. Potros de Tijuana folded in '89 so I have no winter team, but am partial to Aguilas de Mexicali (same state) and Yaquis de Obregón as I have family there.
