Some people like outdoor football, Im not sure what the problem with that is. Every Big 10 team has an outdoor stadium, why would the final game be played in an entirely different environment? /shrugs

US deservedly gives up 2 goals as they press forward and give up bad counter attacks. Really no reason for that strategy.

US defense giving up to much space on initial touches and its causing problems for the defense. US needs to control the ball more and make Mexico chase a little.

Bang, Adu is bringing creativity on the ball the US team just hasnt seen. 2-0, US has come to play so far.

Adu making a big impact early.

It just depends the situation, Nationals had a guy coming in from the pen with the bases loaded, its a tough spot there and Id rather not take the risk there. Anyways it doesnt matter Sox win and can take the series tomorrow.

I personally think your being to cute there with the bases loaded and 1 out. A lot of things can go wrong on a squeeze play, so Im just not a fan right there.

Yeah squeeze play, Lilli gets no contact Rios dead.

Well damn Ozzie that was kind of unnecessary.

Nationals really over thought that idea, and it backfires with Beckham walking.

wooooooooo Teahen scores too Sox up 3-0

Now the breaks are going Rios way, strange how baseball works.

Dunn walks and gets cheered.

Yeah I was going to ask about who wins the game because of Bruney/Danks leaving before 5.

Ball doesnt seem to be traveling that well today, a few flyballs that have seemingly been hit hard havent gone that far (both Sox and Nationals)

2 batters have faced Peavy, 2 batters have been struck out.

Dunn not looking so bad this at bat, hopefully he squares one up.

Per ozzie plan is for Bruney through 4 and Peavy to start 5.

Oh s*** JFP rubbing some sort of ointment on his arm for super strength.

Its sad but he was safe on a pitch out (called out on a generous call), Bruney seems really slow to the plate.

I know Dunn shouldnt be this bad, but right now hes just really struggling. I dont think hes going to break out of that struggle against lefties, so if it was up to me, Id rather sit Dunn against a lefty and sit Pierre against a righty. Dunn could hit 3 hrs today and prove me wrong, but if Im going to look at stats, I cant ignore just how ridiculously bad hes been.

By the way this is Juan's line against LHP this year: .317 .446 .333 .779 This is Adam Dunn's: .020 .186 .020 .207 Yes that is correct, Juan is killing Dunn against lhp this year.

I understand how the DH works, I just am not starting a guy with 1 hit against lhp. Id do anything else, Im pretty sure even JP is hitting lefties better. Are we just hoping for random luck that Dunn runs into one?

Ha what, drop 3rd strike.

Id rather have anyone over Dunn (AJP, Vizquel, random fan). Let Dunn try and get going against right handed pitchers, or at least put Dunn in the 9th spot.
