World Baseball Classic
So I am a huge baseball fan and didn't even realize that this was starting today, but it did.
What are your thoughts on it?
It seems like a good idea when compared to similar events in other sports (World Cup, Canada Cup's of old and World Cup of Hockey presently), however I think there is potential for a flop because people don't take it seriously.
I hope it works out because I think it could make for some awesome ball, but I'm a bit sceptical.

Hopefully it will bring a new meaning to the term "world series"

As long as the U.S.A. does well in the tournament it will continue to run...I'm affraid that outside of the USA and Japan (if it's being broadcast there) this will be a flop.

Should be a good tourney but I don't think Canada will do to well against powerhouses like US, Dominican, Puerto Rico, Japan. Look for one of these teams to take it all

I played baseball since I was a kid, in Montreal, and in the US.
I play in one baseball (harball for you Ontarians) league (in Newmarket), and two softball leagues. I can't get enough.

actually, it started a week ago.
Canada's opening game is today.
Canada will beat South Africa today, and will probably beat Mexico as well to make it through the round robin.
Canada will lose to USA in the first round of the tourney though....
Go Japan.
