Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

World Baseball Classic

I keep reading and hearing about this and I'm wondering what the point of it is. It's billed as a world baseball classic but all the players seem to be from the major leagues. It also appears to coincide with spring training, which doesn't sound like a good thing. Will it be televised? Will it have a negative impact on conditioning? What happens if Lee or Zambrano get injured? What do you guys and gals think about 6 of our Cubbies playing in this tournament?

I'm happy for Lee and Zambrano, and sure Macias for making the Panama? team.

I don't like the fact that Barry Bonds will represent the US.  Here is a golden oppurtunity for MLB to showcase some of their up and coming stars and their headlining star will be the guy with the steroid controversy over his head.  Adam Dunn could play LF.

I wasn't for it...
but now I've accepted it.  As I've said probably an annoying number of times now, I'm cheering for Venezuela. And our Cub players of course.  Especially Macias!  I think he deserves it after helping us so much off the bench! :)
Cubbie Blue always sPaRkLes in my eyes. Time to sPaRkLe Jimmy!

Hey
It's more baseball, and earlier. I'm not complaining
Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
