It begins! This should be more interesting this year, you have the defending Champions Japan, a stacked Dominican Republic team, and a motivated USA team. I am not sure that the WBC will ever become huge, but I think it is a good start to grow baseball around the world. Plus, how can you not like baseball + international competition? I did watch the first game of Japan v.s. China. It wasn’t as ugly as I thought it would be. Last year China got destroyed 16-2 to Japan in the preliminaries. They only lost 4-0! haha. Ichiro went hitless (0-5) but I am not worried about him, he’ll get it going by the time the regular MLB season starts. Next game up? Korea v.s. Chinese Taipei! Woot 1:30 AM in the morning. I would like to see USA win it this year, it also doesn’t hurt that I have a few fantasy baseball players on that roster: (David Wright, Ryan Braun). So yeah, go watch the WBC!
