WBC - Team USA

So if it's not the Colorado Rockies, I really don't care when it comes to baseball.  I also think that while it could be cool, the WBC is a weak attempt at the World Cup for soccer or the Olympics for bball and hockey.  That being said, it was exciting to see Team USA come back tonight after being destroyed by Puerto Rico last time and stealing a game in the 9th.  What's even better than that are the comments by David Wright:

Wright then lined a 2-1 pitch just inside the right-field line, raising his fist when the ball dropped in. The New York Mets star called the hit the biggest of his career.

"You're talking about representing the United States of America," he said. "You've got that across the front of your chest. To be able to get that hit, that's got to be right up there at the top of the list."

Wright was mobbed by teammates near second base after two runs scored.

"You're celebrating a game," Youkilis said. "You're celebrating a nation."


After all the scandal and problems in MLB, it's just great to see some perspective.  For reference, the quoted article is here.
