March 6, 200620 yr Well, this is probably one way of annoying MR. Selig. The Yankees displayed a sign by the customer service booth on the main concourse, explaining it wasn't their fault Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Johnny Damon and Bernie Williams had departed for the World Baseball Classic. "Thank you for expressing your concerns," the sign stated. "We are sorry that certain players will not be present for portions of spring training. These players have elected to participate in the World Baseball Classic. The World Baseball Classic is an event sanctioned by the commissioner of Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association. The New York Yankees did not vote to support this event. Any comments you have regarding the World Baseball Classic should be directed to the commissioner of Major League Baseball or the Major League Baseball Players Association." Supposedly the sign has come down after Selig complained.
March 6, 200620 yr What right does Selig have to make the Yanks take down THAT sign? There isn't anything demeaning in the message, and it's on Yanks property. I hope this damn WBC bombs and Selig looks like an ass, what a prick. And you MUST be a prick if you have me defending King George and his band of merry man like this.
March 7, 200620 yr Yeah, thats pretty sad on seligs part. Yankees just pleasing the fans they have...
March 7, 200620 yr I'm listening to the Dom/Ven game - now it's 6-3 Dominican in the 6th. Miguel Cabrera just hit a two-run homer for Venezuela.
March 7, 200620 yr This has been a very entertaining game to watch. It is crazier than a cubs/sox atmosphere imo.

March 7, 200620 yr I was hoping Zambrano would get rocked in his 2nd inning- but he looked good. Now Victor Zambrano in for Venez.
March 7, 200620 yr Wow, Colon really kicked some ass. I thought he'd be a little rusty, but it was the Venezuelan pitchers that were. Lot of walks by Santana and Zambrano. Not good when you have to face some of those Dominican hitters.
March 7, 200620 yr QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Hey marte is in for dominicans He's getting praised by the announcers
March 7, 200620 yr QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 02:16 PM) What time is USA v. Mex on? 3 central
March 7, 200620 yr QUOTE(longshot7 @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 02:30 PM) Here we go again..... double by Vizquel off Marte. Its not our problem now
March 7, 200620 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Mar 7, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) He's getting praised by the announcers Harold Reynolds said Marte was "effective in the postseason" and "I dont know why the White Sox soured on him" once again showing how little the baseball tonight crew follows baseball
March 7, 200620 yr It was close, second look at it, it hit the top of the sign. They got the call right.
