nyy26 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 With the injuries mounting, Team USA has considered the unthinkable (at least for Bud Selig): They could forfeit the tournament if they continue to lose players. On Sunday, the team?s backup catcher had to play left field, and we?ve seen a steady stream of players exit with various aches and pains. While I certainly appreciate the international drive behind this tournament and the compelling games and storylines, news of a forfeit lends the WBC an aura of mismanagement. It seems like a hastily assembled event with no effort to court or accommodate the star players that would lend it legitimacy. I can see why the Yanks don?t want their players participating, and if other teams follow suit, those behind the tourney will have to assess their 2012 aims.

Saint_Michael 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2009 Although I didn't watch much of it, except for the last 3 hours of the championship game for the World Baseball Classic, I was rather disgusted on how team USA played and how they treated this like a joke. Heck Team USA should have hae lost on purpose just so we wouldn't have to hear about their disrespect to the game we created, at least the other teams had respect for this game such as Japan and South Korea.
