A-Rod flops flips more than John Kerry
A-Rod finally made his decision, will play for the US in the World Baseball Classic. For those of you following along, he first said he was going to be on the Dominican team, despite being born in America and, if I recall correctly, never living in the Dominican Republic. After taking flak for his choice, he said that he would not play at all, so as not to offend everyone. This led to him taking flak for not being able to make a decision and worrying about his image too much. This, in turn, led to A-Rod saying he would play for the US. The press still did not go easy on him, so he flat out denied he was going to play. Then his name was announced on the DR provisional roster. Finally, Slappy McBluelips announced officially, presumably once-and-for-all, that he would play for the US, thus assuring a Dominican victory in the WBC, much as Peyton Manning will choke away any reasonable hope his team has of winning a playoff game.
Angels competing in the WBC are as follows:
Dominican Republic: Bartolo Colon, Mr. The Impaler
Venezuela: Frankie K
Puerto Rico: JC Romero
Meanwhile, the Mexican team features such former Angel greats as Alfredo Amezaga and Ismael Valdez
