First of all, the coffee comment was really not necessary. Secondly, my post was most about the few who complain about the lack of enthusiasm for and from team USA. So what? I really see no meaning in this tournament from a nationalism perspective. I have the same gripe re the nationalism I do with the Olympics. If you like baseball, then watch the games for the games, why get hung up on that? Because, yeah ... your reasons for watching are well stated and that I can respect. It isn't all about Team USA and that's as it should be, imo. Lastly, I do follow it loosely. I'll tune into games here and there, because it's baseball, and I want to see how Twins players are doing. I don't really care what country wins or doesn't because the whole concept of this is to expand baseball for the MLB. Well, and more lastly, why I made the next post I did ... hardly any chatter in here on what's happening. Makes me wonder really if many are that interested.
