World Baseball Classic

Brokeback Mountain: it's not bad.

You like that? I'm clever. Seriously, that one will be up today. As in, Thursday, not Wednesday. Just like I said it would.

In the meantime...I doubt if anyone reading this thinks this is nearly as cool as I do, but the first World Baseball Classic starts today in Japan. If you're not familiar with it, the WBC is the first of what promoters are hoping will become a sort of baseball World Cup: 16 national teams playing a three-stage tournament for the title of "World Champion," the intention being to re-play the whole thing every four years from here on out. I've got special interest in the WBC because I'll be at the semifinal and final games in San Diego, March 18 and 20.

The first game will be broadcast on tape-delay from Tokyo, 1:30 AM tomorrow morning on ESPN 2 (10:30 PM tonight on the West Coast). Korea v. Tiawan. You know you want it.

TV schedules for the rest of the tournament can be found here.
