World Baseball Classic

[CanSocDem]

As for 'dancin' with the one that brung you', my Canadian team is out of it already so I can focus on more important things... Like kicking USA ass again('06) and taking note of all the Blue Jays still playing.

Dominican Republic with Joey Bats and Jose Reyes should make the finals but I think Japan with their Dream Team will take it all. What I know about Japanese baseball I got from an article written by an American journalist in the 70's and the Tom Selleck movie (Mr. Baseball?), but it makes me think that they have a much better understanding of the game. For the sake of the game I hope they prevail...

Even their fan base is smarter than us. They make up catchy tributes and sing them in unison; we hurl epithets and beer bottles at juiced up knuckleheads....sigh.
