My favorite part about the Netherlands surviving until the second round of the World Baseball Classic is that “the Netherlands” is an awesome name for one’s taint. My second favorite part is that the team is basically made up of a bunch of no-name players. Now, unless you know who Rick VandenHurk is, there are probably only two players on the Netherlands of whom you have actually heard. And they are both fat. So, let’s put them in the Fukudome.

More Hardball wants to know who has the hottest fans in baseball. We’ve be running a set of posts over the past month or so featuring images of each teams’ hotties, with a voting poll to crown a champion. Each division in each league has been decided so now it’s time for the playoffs. In both the American and National League we have Los Angeles versus Chicago…cat fight! Also featured is a good old fashioned ho-down between Beantown and Oakland. Lets not forget about the City of Brother Love against “Houston we have a problem”…let the games begin!

We’d appreciate the plug if you’re so inclined.
@burton –
Yes, that’s exactly what the Cubs need. More discussion of the people in the stands, as opposed to the players on the field. Perhaps after this competition, you can cover the subject of curses. We don’t ever hear enough about those.
You know why they call it a “media narrative”? As a warning to writers – that way they know if they write a story that fits the narrative, it has already been written.
I don’t understand…why is LA vs Chicago a catfight? Is Chicago known as a particularly catty city? I could see if it were like LA vs San Francisco, or something. Also I refuse to click that link, but I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the entire site is another playground for c*cksuckers.
Can the Cubs mend my broken website?
Hear, hear, St. Pat.
@burton – Didn’t you just plug it yourself?
Have to go with Simon…fatass Ponson might get drunk and pass out before eating all the custard.
I’ll have to go with simon also. Mainly because if you are a member of the legal system Ponson would probably just let you drown and then eat the custard
