Miss Baseball?

Have no fear, spring training is almost here. 10 days to be exact.

While big names like Manny Ramirez and Bobby Abreu are still on the market, and the Phillies try to sign Nomar Garciaparra and avoid arbitration with Ryan Howard, you can be watching the great game known as baseball, or in some countries, beisbol.

The 2009 Caribbean Series is currently taking place. One of the announcers is also the Phillies own Tom McCarthy.

Major leaguers such as the San Diego Padres Adrian Gonzalez are taking part in the series. Many future major leaguers are also on display during the series.

So far, Venzeula and Mexico are each 1-0. The Dominican Republic is 1-1, and Puerto Rico is 0-2.

No matter how you look at it, its still baseball, and should ease some of the offseason pain.
