Default should Clemens lose today...

i think it becomes a lock that he doesn't retire, but comes back around the AS break. the man's too proud to go out like that. something tells me he wants to finish on top.

that being said, if he wins the Gold Medal game, that may be it for him.

If Clemens loses today against SA, he needs to retire.

If Clemens loses today against SA, the US needs to give up baseball entirely and find a new national pastime.

You know they don't have a shot when Dave Mathews is the cleanup hitter.

Why is it over after 5 innings?

Is there some sort of mercy rule? I noticed Netherlands-Panama ended after 7 innings with the score 10-0.

I think it's 15 after 5 innings or ten after 7.

There should be a mercy rule in that other sport called p*ker. If you are a 2-to-1 favorite by the end of the turn, it's over. This would reduce b*d b*ats.

Can't wait to see Clemens brush back some Cuban player and spark an international incident.
