The World According to Shawn
Friday, March 10, 2006
The World Baseball Classic which is the equivalent of the World Cup of Baseball started last week. I watched a few games the best one being a game in which team Canada defeated the United States 8 -6. They came out of that game with a 2 - 0 record in the round robin play which in any other sport would gaurantee them a spot in the playoff style portion of the tournament. This tournament however seems to be set up so that team USA makes it to the finals no matter what. They play South Africa this afternoon with a chance to eliminate Canada. Are you just as lost as I am? Team USA lost to Canada but still can advance to the second round today by beating South Africa, while Canada gets nothing for starting the tournament with a 2-0 record. Long live the WBC.
