U.S.A.! U.S.A.!

See? I'm a good sport.

Nobody got hurt and the players seem genuinely excited about playing for their country.

Not sure if Derrek Lee is quite understanding the WBC's pop culture relevance:

"Today I felt proud," Lee said. "I felt like the whole country was watching."

Team USA's game was shown on ESPN2, apparently pre-empting repeats of Cold Pizza. I don't know if anybody was watching ESPN2 on Tuesday afternoon, but if Derrek Lee felt proud, then bully for him.

Speaking for myself, I saw exactly one play. Joe Nathan struck out a Mexican player and the pitch was in the dirt. The catcher picked up the ball and threw him out at first.

Then I switched to Simpsons reruns. It was the one where Homer creates "tomacco."
