The Cheap Seats - Scott Butherus

WBC was good baseball


Say what you want about the World Baseball Classic.

Say the timing of the event is horrible and the format is less than desirable and creates far too much downtime between games.

Say that the tournament that claims to be “worldwide” effectively excludes 180 other countries from competition.

Say it doesn’t elicit the greatest fan reaction here in the states.

Say that the best players aren’t always showcased because of their commitments to their “day jobs.”

Say the players sometimes treat their nationality as if it were free agency.

You could say all of these things and more, but there is another thing you have to say about the WBC.

It was good baseball.

About this blog

The Cheap Seats is a collection of news, notes and humor from the world of sports around the Bay and across the country. From Michael Phelps to Jose Offerman, we bring you the off-beat, off-color and pretty much anything interesting that comes across the TBO sports desk at 2 A.M. in the morning.
As Alabama - the band, not our neighbors to our panhandled north - once said, there's nothing like the view from the cheap seats.
