hey, I'm Japanese.

I know the U.S is the place where baseball was born. I respect American baseball. I like the big league.

BUT, I hate racists. I hate people who make excuses after their loss.

My hope is very simple. hey America, be proud of your baseball and show me great American baseball. I've never seen "National American Team" playing baseball as pioneer of baseball.

アメリカがベストメンバーを揃えない以上、この大会は日本と韓国­とキューバの大会みたいなものだね。

ドミニカやベネズエラもベストメンバーを揃えてもらわないと非常­につまらない大会です。

@onikusaikou oh really? lol

[TopTenCrew]

None of the USA's best players are here lmao.

@magicmc23 You're right; I worded that poorly. What would be more accurate is that the players weren't sharp, but I don't know the sharpness of the Japanese team, so meh. What I will say is that the team that the USA put out there for the WBC was not the best team. I remember a lot of players turning down playing in it, because they saw it as a chore.

[ismokeot420420]

Did Darvish not pitch at all until the end?

[magicmc23]

@buujness yes and you know this because you're boys with the whole american baseball team. i could understand that they would treat it as an extended spring training, but honestly any professional event, the athletes go all out.

@a085636 If you're waiting for a great "Team USA" in Baseball, than I think that you'll be highly disappointed. Almost all international competitions take place at inconvenient times (either during spring training, or the season, in the case of the Olympics). Besides, a lot of US teams are made up of minor leaguers, and they still do well. Bottom line, American ballplayers care more about winning pennants and World Series rings than gold medals.
