Golden Choo

South Korea defeated Taiwan 9-3 today to win baseball gold at the 2010 Asian Games.  Who cares, right?  We do!  Shin Soo Choo's participation on the gold medal team serves to exempt him from military service.  Thus, Choo's career will not be interrupted by the mandatory 2 year hitch that all South Korean males must undertake before the age of 30.  Even better, I never have to hear about this ridiculous topic again.  The only downside is that it supersedes my plan to send Andy Marte in Choo's stead.
