The Rookies

Whatever happened last night at the WBC game between Puerto Rico and the U.S. needs to be fixed. That was just pathetic.

Well, this is going to be SHORT. The South African team doesn’t have any major leaugers on the roster, and only five guys that are even IN Major League Baseball systems (everyone else has “South Africa” listed as their organization). And you know what? I don’t really have anything against this country, other than, you know, all the racism. But racism isn’t funny. Unless its a Spike Lee movie. Which this is not.

Oh you think you’re so great Italians? With your greasy hair and your Dago moustaches. Well guess what? Not everyone likes pizza or lasagna! I mean, I do, and I’ve never met anyone that disliked both…but, um, you don’t have gorgeous rustic scenery unparalleled in the rest of the world! Oh, you do? Well shoot. Um…yeah…wait, I got it! You guys invented fascism, and nobody likes fascism! So there.

When I was in high school many of my classmates were of Dutch descent, and VERY proud of it. This annoyed me to no end, and has led me to continually root against those clog-wearing windmill jockeys. Doesn’t matter what the event is, I’ll root against ‘em. Soccer, baseball, Eighty Years’ War (Go Spain!), doesn’t matter, I want those tulip-planting, free-market economy having, socially-tolerant cheese-munchers to BURN, BABY, BURN!

To start this post off I decided to do a Google Image Search of  “Canadian baseball”.  Below is the third picture that came up:

What the f*** Canada?

I believe that nicely sums up Canadia’s feelings towards baseball. While I don’t approve of those same-sex having, syrup-eating, free health care-giving, hockey-playing Royal Canadian Mounted twats, it is my solemn duty to give EVERY team in the World Baseball Classic a preview. It is with much trepidation and chagrin that I present the preview for those moose humpers to the north. Read the rest of this entry →

As was pointed out, pitchers and catchers don’t report to MLB spring training for what seems like a vast eternity. Hey, if your other blog was strictly dedicated to baseball you would be edgy about lack of adequate material too! Therefore, let us continue delving into previews of the teams playing in the grandest series of baseball exhibition games Bud Selig et al. could think up. Today we cover Team Japan.  Writing this post was excessively difficult because not only do all the players look alike (hooray mild jingoism!), their names are also incredibly hard to spell and the spellchecker feature on Wordpress responded by giving me a giant middle finger every time I tried to use it. Anyway, getcha sushi ready.
