Why is it a shame? Team USA really isnt geared towards this whole tournament. Actually I'm suprised they made it as far as they did. For one we have the long offseason where other countries are playing practically the whole time up until the WBC. On top of that team USA is all about the politics, everybody gets (somewhat equal) playing time, doesnt matter if your on a 4-4 tear or your 0-4. Either way I love the WBC, I wish our country was more like some of the others (Ven, PR, Kor, Jap) getting all into the game. Having fun with it and seriously pulling for your team to win.
