DeRosa, De Lucky One

Another reason to not be overjoyed, in fact enjoyed by the U.S. team, remember these teams are together what 2 weeks (as dumb as rooting for the laundry, I mean established, one of 124 in major North either U.S. or Canada based teams is, at least it plays out for a period of time though of course diluted exponentially by the tournament obsessed rules, making it about attrition) is the arrogant, overblown statement oriented coach of the 2 week team, Mark DeRosa.

He told the team they were in, they lost, needed help, got it, and now they are likely big “faves” to win.

There is no joy in Andyb-ville as the ideals and standards I uphold have struck out.

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville-mighty Casey (U.S. standards) has struck out.
