Anybody else watching this?  Some good games and some unexpected results so far.

This happens every WBC (so what - 3 times before?) - I don't actually know about it until after it starts.  They play some interesting baseball, but too quickly the whole thing is over.

They nee to promote this thing a little bit better.

Heck of a game between The Netherlands and Puerto Rico.  I'm looking forward to USA/Japan and the championship game.

So my PR friends are always complaining that the rest of the country gets confused as to whether they're Americans or foreigners.  But it doesn't help the confusion when they field national teams in international competitions.

Anyway, great game so far.  For the US.

Do you tell them they have more important things to worry about, like ironing out those accents because their greasy flammable asses will be on a ICE flight halfway to Montevideo before it's all figured out?  Do you tell them that?

Forgot to-- damn.  We'll probably have a big cookout in a few weeks.  I'll bring it up then.

You're so full of shit. You would never have an open flame near that many greasers.
