4 made it to Beantown and connected with 3. Hope they have a good time.
More negative press for Twitter. Some NBA player did a "tweet" at halftime of a game. The coach was not impressed and outlawed similar action in the future.
Interesting progression for getting connected with public/sports figures in real time. Golfers and NASCAR drivers for instance, are often interviewed in the middle of a round or race (at a lull time). John McCain did a Twitter interview with Stephanopolous yesterday. And the bikers all tweet on race days. Then there was the jury person tweeting during a trial. It's the equivalent of the weekly trash magazines (or nightly entertainment shows) in instant form. Are we all voyeurs?
Does anybody know anything about the World Baseball Classic? Does anyone care?
Have a great Wednesday.

we've been watching the wbc (i know most of you will not find that surprising). i've seen lots of empty stadiums and lots of mbl players get injured. i guess the usa came back and won with a HR by david wright. guess he's more than just a pretty face. 1.1 and brother were discussing why they have the classic at this time of year and decided that this was really the only option. who wants to keep playing in october? are you going to stop the season for a few weeks? now is the only time. 3 usa guys are out: chipper, ryan braun and MVP pedroia. they don't appear to be serious injuries, but is it worth it? the guys on the team seem pretty fired up about the tourney, but it doesn't seem to be a big fan draw. i'd be annoyed if i went to spring training and several of the big names were absent, but that would be my fault for poor planning. it's been fun to see some of the underdog teams come out and do well; lots of the guys on the nederlands had to call home to get more time off work because they hadn't expected to win and they all had "real" jobs!
hopefully manny's hamstring gets better by the time we're there to see him!
is it really only wednesday?
Any baseball played in March is good!
