The Snellvillain Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I just can't understand why the WBC isn't the hottest thing in professional sports...it's determines a REAL world champion, not just some moniker given to an American sports team who plays other American sports team in a "World Championship" game. I think the World Baseball Classic is literally the coolest thing to ever be done in sports, and find it insane that it isn't given a huge amount of promotion in the US. The best players from all over the world clash to determine who the best on the planet is, and nobody in the country that claims baseball as its "national pastime" even gives a ****. Shame on everybody in the media for downing the WBC, especially ESPN and all of their nonsense about "Oh well it's interfering with MLB spring training!" Who gives a **** about spring training when the greatest players in the world are fighting it out for their countries and the game they love. People should care about this a lot more than they do.

Goodoleboy58 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 best in the planet? we are going to have joel harahan and joe bisenius pitching in relief for team USA... if we had Papelbon and Nathan closing it down would be one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Yep the bullpen could be a little shakey I did see earlier where the Canadian manager was saying the gameplan for them would be to be patient and let Peavy reach the 70 pitches and has to be taken out then attack the bullpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodoleboy58 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 not a bad game plan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodoleboy58 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Hanrahan could be the next Papelbon.i admire your eternal optimism.. lol sure he could be the next Papelbon but he isn't the best we got... which was why people dont get excited about the World Baseball Classic. If it had all the big names then people would pay more attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
