“Baseball is Spoken Here”

That is the slogan for the WBC and I just thought I would mentions a few notes about whats going on today keeping up that whole posting thing.  Right now I am watching Cuba playing the Republic of South Africa and Cuba is winning 8-0 in the 7th.  Team USA will be playing Venezuela tonight at 8pm (est) and whoever wins that automatically qualifies for round 2 (so go USA even though Bobby is on the Venezuela team).

In other news according to the line that continuously scrolls across the bottom of MLB Network A-Rod has decided to have some sort of less invasive surgery that would only require 6-9 weeks of rehab to repair the tear in his hip.  Now I personally think that while A-Rod is unable to play they should have Angel Berroa (on the Dodgers last season) however he is currently a non-roster invitee.  I perfer him to Cody Ransom but since Ransom is actually on the team he is much more likely to be covering for A-Rod.

Now completely unrelated to the actual game the Mets have a new player who may be giving Jesus Montero a run for the title of my favorite player who is actually not to old.  Montero played with the Yankees single A affiliate the Charleston River Dogs last season and I saw him play when I went to spring training last year.  He is also only 19 years old and he is a catcher. The Mets player is not listed on the Mets site however he played shortstop yesterday he is nimber 88 and is only 17 years old (the best age, at least for the next 8 months and 2 days).
