The WBC was okay. i voted middle-up.
Its still unnecessary. i'm not sure any White Sox fan "would give up the World Series Championship" for the United States winning the WBC. i'm an Astros fan and i wouldn't give back the team's World Series appearance for it. It's not like i only i want to see Japan League baseball because Japan won. Or that i believe that ALL the best players are from Japan. It's like Olympic Basketball or All Star games, in general. They are exhibitions. i still say we'll see how important people think these games were when a star player loses a season or a career in one of these games.
They played hard, the games were good, and i watched because it was baseball. (i'm glad to hear spring training games on the radio.) But the hype goes along with it... (Well everything is hyped now, i guess i'll never get used to that.) "Be There For Your Country" Ummm... they weren't fighting over land or property or civil rights... they weren't trying to free hostages. They were playing baseball.
And the rules they have regarding pitchers is gimmicky.
And the announcers were annoying.
But it was still good baseball. i'll watch it when it comes on again.
