The tourney doesn't mean as much to the US than to the other countries.

also it would be nice if Davey Johnson would get off his butt and take a starter out of the game when he is getting crushed before we are compltely out of the game.....
if he made a switch to the bullpen we could have only been down 3-2 or 4-2....
