Thanks Griff, you're dead right about where to find the joy. (Vladdy veritably levitates with excitement...) May I confess that while I began complaining about the WBC and its timing (for all the predictable reasons, my eye on the purposes of Spring Training) I'm now rather hooked. Canada embracing the challenge, the underdog status, is just so fun...

Thanks Kenneth. The pitch counts in the Pool round works well for underdogs and also for clubs allowing stars to play during spring training ramp ups. Watch how this experience works out for guys like LH Matt Wilkinson when the minor league season starts. Disappointing result vs. USA but great to watch.
