2013 World Baseball Classic

[HUGG]

WBC is pretty much over by then.

I guess half that stuff I listed is going on now, but football isn't and that's big.
--------------------
It doesn't help their cause that it's on MLB Network. Lots of people still don't have it.

Shit, Logan Morrison was bitching on twitter last night that he can't watch the WBC at home. (I mean, it's LoMo so who cares, but seriously).

There's not much to dislike about this tournament. It's fun. Way more fun than Spring Training. The players do seem to care. Idk why some people say they don't. And the "America doesn't care/who cares, their best players aren't there" thing is weird. It's still fun. The team has a lot of good players on it.

Good win today. Joe Torre's managing was pretty bad. He'd be getting some criticism right now if not for Cishek's performance.

I'm not saying they don't care, I'm saying I don't care because there are shitty players on the team

put together a team like the MJ Dream Team Olympics days and I'm in.

There are like two shitty players on the team and they barely play.

yes, because a team of the 26 best players in the country should include Steve Cishek and Heath Bell and Glen Perkins and Willie Bloomquist and Shane Victorino and Vinnie Pestano and Jimmy Rollins

look, this team isn't that good. I want to see a true All-Star team. I want to see Mike Trout and Buster Posey and Stephen Strasburg and Chase Headley and Andrew McCutchen and Prince Fielder and Josh Hamilton and Billy Butler and David Price and Jon Papelbon...that's the type of team that should be playing in this thing.

Steve Cishek, Glen Perkins, and Vinnie Pestano are all very, very good relievers. Why is that a bad thing? Even Heath Bell was considered one of the best before last year. I know everyone hates him (and really, I don't like him either), but one bad year doesn't erase a career.

You're upset that guys like this are in the tournament but you want to see guys like Chase Headley and Billy Butler?

It's been well-established that some of the best players aren't there. It's still arguably the most talented team in the tournament. How is that bad to watch when the alternative is meaningless, Spring Training baseball?
--------------------
The only players on the team who truly suck are Willie Bloomquist and J.P. Arencibia. And they're on the team for a specific reason.

[Mainge]

What SS over Rollins? Tulo?

Leave Chase Headley the fuck off my WBC team.

[Beef]

We all want Chase Headley so we can really enjoy the WBC, but what we've got isn't so bad.

But really, of course we all want all of the best of the best, but its still some really talented rosters.

Someone tells me he heard on radio that only 6000 you have been sold for USA game tomorrow. Hopefully they will have a good atmosphere for that game tomorrow.

Hopefully they can sell more me.

[Beef]

Yeah - I think that'd maybe help
--------------------
Because my iPhone

But it'd help

I suspect sales for those games were not going to pick up until today. I know several people who were waiting for match-ups.

I just bought 7 tickets for tomorrow's game. MK7, thanks for posting about that Groupon offer earlier in the week. Almost bought the same exact tickets for full price.

To anyone interested, you can get tickets in the lower level outfield (Bullpen Reserved) for $15 or 200 Legends Level seats for $30. You can buy up to 20 tickets at those prices too. Offer is still good for another 4 hours.

Just put in WBC as a coupon code when you are buying them online.
