Bonds and the WBC

[NorthsideAvenger]

Heck even when Team USA defeated Cubs in th 2000 games in Australia, that was magical, because you have a team hungry players who played for the name on the front, instead on the back.

 

I didn't know the Cubs were playing meaningful games in 2000.

 

I still back that statement, the 2000 USA team would have beating the 2000 Cubs. No questions.,

If anybody needs further confirmation that the WBC is already a joke, here it is...

 

Dan Haren is listed on the Dutch roster for the WBC, but he has no idea how he got there and he's certain he's not eligible.

He said his father is 100 percent Irish and his mother 100 percent Mexican. Haren is also listed on Team USA's roster for the event, but he doesn't plan to play for either country. "I don't want to have any excuses," Haren said. "I want to be as strong in August and September as I am at the start of the season."

 

I could see Piazza playing for the Italian, or David Aardsma for the Dutch, but how does one come to the conclusion that Dan Haren is even a possibility for the Dutch? 100% Irish Father, 100% Mexican mother, so how does Haren get on the roster of the Dutch? WBC is a joke.

No Angel players.

 

It's always odd when your two favorite AL players are the Angels and the A's.
