A Dark Day in Baseball

Well, I guess it was fitting for this travesty to happen in March coinciding with March Madness. Team USA was knocked out last night by Mexico 2-1 in the WBC. The Rocket even got pinned with the big L. I just never thought that I would see the day where an all-star baseball team from the United States would not be crowned champion. Reasons for this failure will abound... ala lack of preparedness of the players, a group of all-stars do not make a team, and so forth. But, none of these things will work for me. Baseball was invented HERE!! I am thinking Alexander Cartwright is turning over as we speak. Chalk this up to another sport where we can claim we are the best, but history is showing possibly not...
