After an eight run inning, the USA beat Team Venezuela 15-6 in Sunday’s World Baseball Classic. The win assured Team USA a spot in the second round of the World Baseball Classic.
The USA will play in Pool C in Miami. The round is scheduled for next weekend but is currently being dismissed with a wanking motion by me.
Honestly, who cares about this crap? The WBC is about as interesting as the daily Chris Brown update. All this is a waste of time for the purpose of, I don’t know…injuring half your pitching staff. Is this even televised on ESPN: the Ocho? I guess this is for foreigners that care about crap like the soccer world cup.
Not to dismiss soccer as the lower tier sport that it is; baseball doesn’t work that way. I love the USA and I love many players from the USA. I also hate many players from the USA. I care more about what team the player plays for. Team loyalty trumps national origin.
I really hope this is the last year of this ill-thought experiment.

Totally agree sir. I didn’t even know they were trying this crap again until last night when I saw Cuba and the Duminthecans. Aren’t the actually the same place???
Good call. The sight of David Wright sharing the field with Derek Jeter and Jimmy Rollins scares the snot out of me!
