The World Baseball Classic is back

I honestly thought that the inaugural World Baseball Classic in 2006 was a nice concept. Except that the odd rules and even the participating countries turned it into a joke. The organizing body tweaked in now into a double-round robin format and well, we'll see now.

But here are the four teams that I'm going to tab to make it to the semi-final crossover:

Pool A: Korea
Pool B: Cuba
Pool C: USA
Pool D: Dominican Republic

I kind of like Korea to win this. They won the gold medal in the Beijing Olympics and they are real hungry after the upset by Japan in the first WBC. And they return for the second straight time with the coolest uniforms. Hahahaha.
