Although I've expressed here that I think the World Baseball Classic is poorly organized and pretty lame, I'm not a guy who's going to pass on watching baseball in early March. The offseason is long and painful for diehard baseball fans, so, yes, I will be tuned in to the WBC. Actually, I'm very excited to see Daisuke Matsuzaka and his infamous gyroball, as well as the players I haven't seen from Cuba, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela.

You can check out the TV schedule here, and here are the games from the first rounds that I'm going to TiVo...

3/3: Japan vs. China - 4:30 AM EST - ESPN2

3/7: Dominican Republic vs. Venezuela - 1 PM EST - ESPN

3/8: Cuba vs. Panama - 1 PM EST - ESPN2

3/8: USA vs. Canada - 4 PM EST - ESPN2

It's a nice mix because I'll get to see eight different teams play. Don't get me wrong, I still think that the timing is bad, that it's just a big commercial for MLB, the pitch limits (while necessary) are lame, and there are mercy rules - which is ridiculous. But, if there's baseball on TV, I'll watch it. You don't have to twist my arm!
