WBC: World Baseball Catastrophy

Posted in: Ninja Squirrels and Other Oddities, Red Sox...not for the faint of heart... by Spider on March 20, 2009

What the hell is up with this WBC. Aside from being a veritable pro-ballplayer injury factory, it also supplied a fairly freakish upset….the Dominican Republic (the ballplayer supplier of the universe) is beaten by The Netherlands…THE NETHERLANDS! What sports are the Netherlands famous for? The luge?

I think someone somewhere got this idea…hmm, in the off-season lets have this big baseball tournament, invite all these ballplayers from around the world…and not just any players, the best ones. And then beat the holy hell out of ‘em, and finish up just in time to send their injured asses back for the start of baseball season…we’ll call it…the World Baseball Classic…

Oddly enough it seems some injuries don’t even happen during the game, but during the post game celebrations…take it easy there Youk!

I know it’s popular to rag on the WBC, but i love it. I think it’s a lot of fun to watch. It’s a shame the games are played in the US and the USA team is always outnumbered by fans of other countries.

That’s because most of the country is made up of fans of other countries…

At least the red sox didn’t start the season in japan this year. I’m pretty psyched. Even Buchholz looks good

Amen to that…nothing like getting an injury from THE PLANE RIDE…

All I know is that I am very glad this thing is about over & that Matsuzaka isn’t pitching anymore. I was enjoying the opportunity to watch competitive baseball until our guys started limping back into camp.
