Team USA is the Reason the WBC is a Complete Joke
PLAYERS: Dustin Pedroia
The United States team has suffered from a number of injuries to players during the World Baseball Classic, something that prompted manager Davey Johnson to use catcher Brian McCann in left field during last night's game against the Netherlands. Johnson even went so far as to say he would forfeit a game if the injuries became too prolific: "I damn sure wouldn't want to be lynched or hung up in some city if I put (Kevin) Youkilis behind the dish or something," Johnson sai...

    Team USA should get a better manager.. I'm definitely disappointed that they've lost to Venezuela and Puerto Rico, they're great teams but USA should be better if they were to put in more effort and heart into their games.

    The WBC really doesn't mean anything. Yeah, it is kind of cool to see some of the matchups. But I would rather see Brian McCann play his 130 or so games for the Braves than to see him get injured playing left field against the Netherlands. An injury like the one that Chipper Jones suffered is not directly related to playing in the WBC, so I don't have an issue with it. If Kevin Youkilis suffered an injury while playing catcher, I am sure the Red Sox fans would take issue. Openly saying he would forfeit before risking the players of the Major League teams does not bother me.

    WBC is the best and USA rocks
