Representing the United States of America and Red Sox Nation in the WBC…

I’m quite the happy Red Sox Chick about this.  I think Varitek was a no-brainer.  He had a great season last year and he’s considered one of the best catchers in the league.  He has an amazing rapport with pitchers that will serve the American team well during the WBC.  Mike Timlin is a bit of a surprise to Tekmikeme.  I knew he was on the 60-man roster, but, like Timlin himself,  I wasn’t convinced he was going to make the cut.  I’m so happy and proud that he has.  I really felt he deserved a spot on  the All-Star team last year, and as he’s getting up there (40 in March!) his chances for that are waning – so this is special for him. 

Congratulations Mike and Jason on a well-deserved honor.  Now I have a reason to watch the WBC.
