 I just want to post that Suddenlink is the worst cable company ever. They refuse to add MLB Network because they're cheap fuckers and I really wanted to see Team Honkbal

Australia has some legitimate pitching (RRS, Shane Lindsey, Brad Thomas, Clayton Tanner), former excellent OF prospect Chris Snelling, former excellent C/1B prospect Justin Huber (both busted), and a couple other organized baseball guys, but their depth is awful. Taiwan has a real professional league of like AA quality and also exports guys to Japan, but doesn't have a lot of guys in organized baseball, mainly Chien-Ming Wang (tonight's starter) and Hong Chih Kuo.

Armed guards, threats to family

A lot of the guys that left have just flat abandoned their families to do so, notably Rey Ordonez and Aroldis Chapman
