I'll be back to check out the rest of the pieces. The Rays are folding fast although they didn't get the benefit of a few missed calls. Not sure why Maddon didn't argue any of those. US needs to hold its own in their next match against El Salvador or they'll have wasted a lot of effort for naught. I was busy with sportschumpdates, Al.

One Million Years BC ….

Are the Rays really making things harder for themselves or what ? The Angels beat up on ‘em like a wicked step-child in that 10-5 victory .

If they can’t gain any traction and play with consistency . They’re not going to gain the wildcard berth as the AL representative.

And you're dead on about Tim Howard. He's more effective when it counts than Dwight Howard. It appears to me that the US just cannot control the ball on offense, putting too much pressure on their D. I want WINNERS! Can't win with 'em, can't coach with 'em, can't play with 'em, can't do it. Pedro had some nice movement last night.

Remember, this incident happened six years ago and we're only finding out about it now. I think all parties involved want to put it behind them.
