USA...USA...USA...

The USA entry in the World Baseball Classic (I use the term "Classic" loosely) is back from the brink of expulsion after losing to those hockey-pucks, the Canadian team, earlier this week. Team USA will be saved from ignominious elimination by those "Flying Wildebeests" from down Capetown way, team South Africa, who sport an amalgamation of players not heard of in these parts. The Southies should offer little resistance to our American millionaires (quite unlike the fringe yet feisty Canadians).

So unless Nelson Mandela comes rushing out of the bullpen to start the game, Team USA should move on to the next round. Check out the South African team mascot below.
