Elsewhere: USA out of WBC

I’ve been paying a little attention to the World Baseball Classic this year (as opposed to all the other years it’s been played) and I have to say that I kinda like it.  I think I would like it better if it were played at a different time of year, or if the USA players treated it differently.  MLB would never let players take two weeks off in the middle of the baseball season so they could do it in June or July, and it’s too cold in October to start it up after the World Series is done, not to mention that a lot of the players wouldn’t have played any real ball in a month and those that have would be wiped out.

I will say that after the USA eliminated Puerto Rico, it was kinda weird seeing David Wright in the middle of a dog pile with Derek Jeter and Jimmy Rollins while Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado walked away dejected.  Not necessarily bad…just weird.
