1) Yes. Spring training started about three weeks ago. So this tournament is being played at the same time as spring ball. It does kind of suck. Especially if you're at spring training to watch your favorite players and they are away.

2) Baseball is a game that moves at it's own pace. It's difficult for the humans who have no real ability to pick up the nuances of this great game. It takes a great deal of intelligence and savvy to understand how baseball works. These are two qualities that you obviously lack. Therefore, you lash out at a game that escapes your bottom of the barrel IQ.

Perhaps the World Hotdog Eating Championships are more your style?

OK,

Can someone please explain what the World Baseball classic is to me?

IM guessing most of our superstars could give two cents about playing in this. Kind of like the Olympics or NFL Pro Bowl.

The "Having the best pitching staff in baseball" method wasn't so terrible for the Yankees. It was when their rotation fell off that they fell off. Adding Peavy would have made the Cubs insanely tough in five- and seven-game series, crapshoot nature of the playoffs or not.
