Will you follow the WBC this year?
posted at 1/18/2013 3:03 PM EST
You, know I think its kind of fun to watch. Here's a few random things about it...
1. Team USA. Since when is "Willie Bloomquist" an all star? Half of the Pitching is manned by
guys I never heard of. Victorino worth watching - for some odd reason this year.
2. Netherlands. Can't wait to see X. Boaggarts.
3. Dominican Republic. These guys always seem to have the most fun. Great talent too
such as Reyes, Cano, Fernando Rodney, Etc.. But, where's Manny? -Damn.
4. P. Rico. Mike Aviles worth a glance? Check out Javiar Vazquez whom we might sign.
5. Venzuala. - Tuff team. - King Felix. Marco Scutoro (what a class guy), etc..
6. Mexicon. - Some Red Sox Pitcher named De La rosa.
7. Japan. - These guys know how to play. Was their victory last time a fluke?
Anything else to look for?

It's Jose deLaTorre, and I believe he's pitching for Puerto Rico. Ace will be pitching for Mexico. Anyway I'll be cheering hard for Netherlands. Go X man!

I do not follow the WBC, even though Korea (where I am from) made it to the finals.
All I care is that no Red Sox player gets hurt during the WBC (e.g. Victorino).

The only ones I would worry about are pitchers. Its more of a warm up for position players.

Whatever happens to be written for the headlines on this site will be the extent of my following the WBC, most likely.
Although I may want to see how Victorino and X do.

I'm a baseball nut so I'll watch as much as possible. The oppoortunity to see players and teams from around the globe that I would not normally see is too irresistible.
