We'll continue to lose in this, because they just always play better for numerous reasons. Of course we have the talent, but they play with more heart. They want to make their country proud and they play every game with 100 percent effort, we just don't because they don't care. I understand about the possibility of injury, but its because of those fat contracts that they're really worried about....which is definitely understandable. But most of those players don't have to worry about that. So I agree completely with duckmeat, just scrap it or we just don't play in it - which would probably end it anyway because all of them want to beat the US in anything. I don't think they care the least bit about it and a lot of people don't, it's not the Olympics. The Olympics is a larger scale and its the best of the best, we just scrap together anyone who wants to play in the WBC. Its not anywheres close to the significance of the Olympics, at all. Those teams we play against have more heart and are a lot more disciplined then our players will ever be, that's why we'll continue to lose and they'll continue to embarrass us.
