Anyone looking forward to this ? I think it may not be that bad of an idea unlike Steinbrenner suggested, I'm sure he's just freaked out by the thought of a Yankee getting hurt. Hopefully the USA can come out victorious. I'd like to see the USA vs. The Dominican Republic, I think these are the 2 best teams. Chime in with your thoughts.

I think Steinbrenner is a little b*tch! If guys want to support their country go ahead and let them do it. I think it would be great if the US could come out victorious in this.

Bobby Valentine, long time MLB manager, and current Japanese manager stated he believes ANY Japanese baseball player could be an everyday player in the MLB, however, over half of MLB could not be an everyday player in Japan.
Look for Japan to do very very well.
Also, I think a majority of managers are worried, like George, that their stars are going to be injured playing a irrelevant exhibition tournament.
I also dont like that fact that many American playes are playing for other countries. Example: Mike Piazza is American born, his relatives came to America in 1900. Piazza is playing for the Italian team. Not many people are treating this as an opportunity to play for their country. I find that unfortunate.

Piazza is playing for the Italians?

Guess he's gay after all.

Yeah, and the only reason why American born AROD is playing for the USA is because of criticism he received after saying he was going to play for, I believe, the Dominican Republic.

I give him credit for wanting to play. At his age he probably didn't really have the option to play for the US team anyway.

This is a pretty big upset, perhaps the biggest I've seen baseball wise. If the Dominican Republic did this than that would be one thing, but team Canada ? What the hell happened ? What was Dontrelle Willis doing ?

USA did disappoint but I didn't know that some of these players are all ready in mid season form. The Cubans are about 2/3 into their season, that certainly gives them an edge. Maybe next year they'll have every great American play for the team and make it bigger priority.
