Those of you doing the fantasy baseball dealie may look in the very late rounds (or in free agency or whatever?) at Gordon Beckham, White Sox' top 2008 draft pick. He's never played higher than high A (unless you count the Arizona Fall League or big club spring training), but at this point it is looking like they may move him to 2b because they have a bunch of scrubs competing for a spot there. He may break camp as the starting 2b or may be a May callup. A similar value to Alexei Ramirez last year--may not play at the beginning, but should provide some decent pop if he does get to play later on.

Apparently Pedro threw pretty well for the Dominican team yesterday in relief - 3 innings, 1 hit I think. Mayhaps he has some gas in the tank.

 

i tend to agree. but could he really be a closer (which was the discussion on mlb tv the other night)?

Not much discussion on the WBC. That's sad, I'm loving it. Been much more competitive than last time out. Italy making the 2nd round in the pool of death would be a huge upset.

 

last I saw it was 10-1 Venezuela in the 8th, so I think Italy got pretty much hosed.

Netherlands is tied at 0-0 with the Dominicans in the 10th inning, and the Dutch are about to bat. This is awesome.

That was an amazing game. Caught most of the last few innings/extra innings. There was a play made by Cuba's 2B-> SS in the game aired right after it that was absolutely phenomenal, too. It has been very good ball from what I've watched.

Even my mom and girlfriend were impressed by that play in the Cuba game. That was amazing. Of course, they were mostly focused on how ugly the Cuban uniforms are.

 

I can't get over how great that Netherlands game was. I kept flipping back and forth between that and the Panthers game, but when it reached a scoreless 9th, I kept it on the WBC until the end. That has to be one of the biggest upsets I've ever seen. TWICE!

What an awesome atmosphere for a baseball game. Everyone had a great time, though it was rather embarrassing as a USA fan to see them get wooped. But the people around me were having a great time, a lot of joking back and forth and a lot of different chants and stuff. I loved it.

dear engleheardt,

 

Good job you hit a home run with your team down by 7. Act like you've been there before.

 

Love, bobbob.

 

Dear Netherlands,

 

If your guy is going to sit and admire his home run, the next guy might get thrown at. That's baseball.

 

Love, bobbob.

 

Dear team us,

 

If your pitcher is going to throw at a guy, and the other teams bench is going to stand up on the field, get the fuck up and defend your pitcher.

 

Love, bobbob.

 

Dear matt lindstrom,

 

Please don't be hurt.

 

Love, bobbob.

Also: bobbob - you going to the game tonight?

 

Unfortunately not, as I'm in savannah visiting my sister. I might not even be able to watch the game, because nobody I'm with wants to.
