Fan of evil empire – I live in Hartford Connecticut. Where is the venue that’s near me? You too, sir, may now feel free to suck a bag of dicks. In excess of your normal bag.

and he lives in a area where the game is being played, smells like feesh OG.

You’re argument’s pretty solid too, though.  Quite a mind for reasoning you have there.

I missed this yesterday. Bronsonshore – I’d like to cordially invite you to go f*ck yourself. You love thinking that your love of the WBC makes you more of a baseball fan than anyone else, and also somewhat of a mindreader. It does neither.

Now go back to deepthroating your splintery fungo bat.

What I would like is for MLB to take the tournament more seriously as well. Holding it during spring training will keep out many pitchers because of a phantom fear of injuries, and it will keep out aspiring minor league players who are hoping to win a spot in the MLB roster, like Jair Jurrjens and Shairon Martis in 2009.

Must be the weather driving all these nitwits indoors. Why don’t you take your universalized subjectivity and go back to ice fishing?

He has opted for Thin Mint Cookie instead.

It is more about the vacation and just seeing baseball than actually getting crazy about it. See you in AZ in March!

Does anyone really care about the WBC anyhow? My buddy got tickets for one of the Jupiter, FL games, said hardly any of them had sold at that point. I love baseball, and I hardly know a thing about it.
