Good news (Greinke), bad news (Ramirez) for Dodgers

You Win Some And You Lose Some, Bros.

Ah, the good old WBC. It is well worth paying players their salary of the down time from any injuries that come from it

Well you got what you wished for, Ramirez's season is over, his next season is 2017! Enjoy the Payouts!!!

This is not good news....good news is that Greinke was deported back to the Netherlands and along the way a cavity search revealed an **** hamster who had crack cocaine in his ass

The interesting thing is that Hanely would never dive for a ball while playing for the people who PAY him many millions of $$$, but he'll do it for free for his country's team. The WBC is outrageous, I hate it, and screw any ML player who participates in the stupid thing. Let their teams release them with no obligations if they get hurt in it (David Wright included).

Sorry, Hanley....

Greinke claims the hamster was only a acquiantance who took advantage of him after a long night of PS3, Spongebob, and sitting in closets in a fetal position while screaming.

The Hamster's story is different so this will require a DEEPER investigation


Ohhhhh what's this? ,a-n-a-l beads????

My money is on Greinke to be DLed sometime during the 2013 season. and quite possibly for a period longer than a 30 day DL.

Those owners have no one to blame but themselves. The WBC is sanctioned by MLB. That couldn't have happened without a majority vote by the owners. I'm sure Selig and other officials did a great job selling it to the owners, but in the end the owners were on board thinking that globalizing the sport means more cash in their pockets in the long run. So they have no right to cry about injured players now when they knew of the risks from the very beginning.

I don't think WBC is a bad idea per say, especially since Baseball is no longer part of the Olympics. Every other country but the US takes it seriously. And you do see a passion in the players playing for their own countries that's different than playing for their professional teams. I do, however think that March is not the right time for this event. After the World Series in November is probably a better time. They can play the games in warm cities/countries or indoor stadiums. The players are already in shape so that should minimize injuries. And outside of devastating, major injuries, the players have the entire offseason to rest up and be ready for the following season.

How about just making it an 18U tournament?

Well, Hanley is going to have surgery and be out for 8 weeks, with his hand in a cast for 3 weeks. No way he's going to be lazy and get out of shape, right? He'll be rehabbing like crazy because he cares SO much about playing well to earn his American dollars.

He's going to have a HUGE year, Cy Young candidate.

I don't know how appealing that's going to be when there's basically zero name recognition. For the hardcore baseball purists that may not matter, but they're the minority compared to the bigger masses that MLB is trying to sell this tournament to.

I just think that MLB is really neglecting their core fans by pushing this thing. Why not play the World Series in Bangladesh to drum up more interest there?
