World baseball fan lost in America
Where is a traveler to catch world baseball action when the U.S. Is off?
ESPN? No. Reserved for 30-point NBA blowouts.
The Deuce? No. Heaven forbid we pre-empt early round College SOFTball World Series action.
Network TV? Come on, Luke, you're dreaming.
The answer is online or nowhere. This must be how NASCAR fans feel without SPEED channel.
Wait, wait---thank god for ESPNNews and the Live In-Game Extra feature:
Cuba-P.R. elimination game. Bth inning, bases jammed, 1-run game. John Bracken writes that I-Rod was thrown out of the plate in a previous inning. I just saw a cutaway highlight of Koreans throwing a Team Japan player out at the plate.
Is this the best sporting event anywhere in the world right now? You betcha. So why has ESPNNews just switched back to press conferences with No. 16 NCAA seeds?
Still 4-3 Cuba, I think, but what do I know in my unplugged hotel room?

if you and i had any foresight, we wouldve found a bar in Humboldt Park.
I looked in vain for Internet Radio from Cuba and settled for sportsline pitch-by-pitch updates and woke up early to watch a tape of the Japan Korea game which, alas, had been cut off by an extended tennis match.
