Thome on at first

two outs, Konerko to the plate. 2-0 WS

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

Brazil knocked one barely in....

Replays show it should of been goal but was not counted.

Source of controversy if US doesn’t get another goal.

USA 2 : Brazil 1

3-1

on Lee

I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings. This is the kind of fan I am.

by drewishdrewid on Jun 28, 2009 2:50 PM CDT reply actions  

Why

is Bradley hitting in front of Lee? This lineup makes zero sense. It’s like Lou is trying to find the best way to cancel out runners before someone else good comes up again.

DEJESUS!!!

Not sure

But Theriot, Lee and Fox would be in the first 4, and Bradley and Soriano would come later.

Lee walks. Fox is the tying run at the plate.

wrong. did you see where MB was playing on that ball?

he was practically in RC. he had a long run. you do have to slow down to get in a position to circle and throw to second.

MB’s bat has been miserable, but this play was not a problem.
