The Bald Truth
Japan's manager benched Kosuke Fukudome for the WBC championship game after the flailing $48 Million Cubbie had batted .200 with no extra-base hits and seven strikeouts in seven games. Japan won the title without him.
Great to see that spending the winter back home and most of spring training with his compatriots has straightened K-Fu out just in time for the season.
THE BALDEST TRUTH
Congratulations to Chris Roberts, whose last-second, 75-foot fling lifted Bradley into the semifinals of the EverybodyGetsATrophy.com tournament.
The coach of the losing team, Oakland's Greg Kampe, has filed a formal protest, claiming that Roberts couldn't possibly have gotten the inbounds pass, taken two or three steps and released the basketball within the 9/10ths of a second that was on the clock after Oakland had scored the go-ahead hoop.
"The video will show," Kampe said, "our kids won the game."
Though there's no way his protest will prevent Bradley from advancing, our sources say college hoops honchos will create yet another tournament just for Oakland: The One Team One Title Tourney.
