The 2013 World Baseball Classic

Yeah, they started it again, and we off to a flying start.

Japan, and Cuba have looked good so far wining bother their games. Taipei also at 2-0.

The Dutch also have a win. yes THE DUTCH, and they beat a decent team in South Korea.

Games in Latin America, and Arizona start this week.

Yeah, but how many of the Dutch team are from real Netherlands and not from the Andruw/Kenley Antilles?

[DirtyKash]

They should really play as Team Curacao, it would be more representative of which country the players are from.

Meanwhile, Team Brazil has the following names on its roster: Asakura, Kanabushi, Kondo, Missaki, Nakaoshi, Yoshimura, Hirata, Matsumoto, Okuda, Tanaka, Sato. These guys sure sound like they're Brazilian.

Kondo at the beach?

[Foster]

So far Cuba, Japan, Taiwan, and THE DUTCH are the teams to advance to the second round. Korea was eliminated, a team that has been to the semi's for the first two variations of this tournament.

Where have you gone, Bum-Ho Lee?

[HafDawg2003]

They need to abandon the WBC.

Where have you gone, Bum-Ho Lee?

Detective Benny Agbayani can help. Just after he locates Dice-K's soul.

[Foster]

They need to abandon the WBC.

You see, I like the WBC, or at least the idea of it.
The timing, and execution of it is what needs to change.

[HafDawg2003]

Yeah. And the sparse participation (or concept and potential of it) due to clubs worried about injuries.

[Foster]

Which I don't blame anyone for. It's spring, and no one wants there big time bat or arm go down participating for a team that isn't their's.

[Kingdom]

I think they should have asked Barry Bonds.

[HafDawg2003]

No doubt.

[hatreserve]

cant believe S. Korea is out. they played a bad first game and that totally messed them up.

[Foster]

Italy, winners. Oh my.
