The newest ‘ugly American’


That would be Chipper Jones, for kvetching about having to exist in Toronto — of all places — to play in the World Baseball Classic.

Complaining about having too many days off, the Atlanta third baseman said, “We stayed in Toronto for a week and played three games. I don’t know if you ever stayed in Toronto, but it’s not exactly Las Vegas. To say that we were plucking our eyebrows out one at a time would be an understatement.”

Here’s an idea, Chipper: Don’t like the venue? Don’t like the way the WBC schedule is arranged? Then … DON’T ... FREAKIN' … PLAY.

As you're 0-10 with six strikeouts in the WBC, I think the USA can survive your absence.
