Braun will play for US in WBC

I'm fine with a position player competing, it's no different than spring training, really. Hopefully they convince Yovani that spring training is a better option than Team Mexico.

Hmm

Couldn’t he play for Team Israel because of a little-known relative three generations back?

Awesome

It will definitely be interesting to see which side YoGa plays for.

I think I read somewhere that he wanted to play for Mexico but had yet to receive permission from the Brewers.

'team' not 'side'

I should think. Unless we went to war with Mexico, in which case, I am out of the loop.

we did...

…but fortunately we finished that up 150 years ago.

Little known fact: Teddy Higuera has a scar from that war given to him in hand-to-hand fighting with Jamie Moyer.

Also, cheese.

Who knew Jamie Moyer bites?

I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

I’ve seen more subtle ways to get Kirbir to post a comment.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Yeah

Besides, Moyer – not so cute.
