Passion Fruit

John Donovan of SI.com wrote a follow up article about the WBC, praising the talented Japanese team for their victory. Here's part of what he had to say:

"So it follows ... the best Japanese team ever, beating the best competition the world has ever offered. Can there be any doubt? Japan is the best."

However according to his previous article (see "Even the President needs... on 3/20), being the best team has nothing to do with winning. It's all about passion and desire. So I guess it follows that the Cuban team just didn't "want" it enough.

What an idiot.
