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.
And 2-0 USA :D

Philosophical OT question:
Does it make me a bad Mexican to root for the U.S.? I feel dirty…
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

The U.S. is Mexico's mortal enemy in soccer
so I feel durrty cheering them on. I’m getting a barrage of text messages from all over egging me on, just for being Mexican too.
One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.
I'm well aware of this
The enmity is pretty much one-way, though. If it makes you feel better, you can just switch over to the Cruz Azul match or something.

Historically, teams who win the Confederations Cup don’t do well on the World Cup. But the U.S. will probably get a group seed and breeze through the first round.

What happens...
if the meeting at the mound takes longer than the ump would like? Does he eject someone? Is it some variance of a balk, where a base is awarded for “delay of game” or whatever? Always wondered this.
he walks out
and tells them to break it up.

I haven't either.
Surely it’s happened at some point though. Possibly as a stall technique to allow the pen to get warm.
I think he can call a "ball" in the ball/strike count at any time there is an unreasonable delay of the game.

why does Zambrano always have outings like this
start off fast, then slowly he starts to fall behind batters, give up a lot of hits, the runs follow.

Well, he's allowed three runs 'til now
