    I saw that on the CNN ticker last night while watching Larry King. That cracked me up so much. Now Roger Clemens can't finish his career with an Olympic medal

          Yeah that's pretty embarrasing. Baseball is said to be America's sport and we can't even compete for a medal in the Olympics.

                      For crying out loud...

                      after what Lasorda said, I'm getting really tired of this "elitest" attitude. We didn't win the chance to go to the Olympics this time, so we aren't "the best" now, are we? Acting like a sport, especially Baseball, BELONGS to one specific country is like saying one specific country owns Chocolate and no other Country is allowed to use it, let alone enjoy it. You KNOW Japan is big on Baseball, I guess I'm just pretty freakin' amazed at the attitudes of alot of people because of such a little thing. So we didn't win...so what? Get used to it. Not all games can be automatically won. No country OWNS a Sport, and no Country OWNS Baseball. You know what the REAL disgrace is, the elitest attitude everyone is showing as a result of this. You call yourself American?

                      Oh! Oh! Here's an idea! Instead of being an egotistical a-hole, howabout congratulating the Mexicans on defeating the "unbeatable and undeniable elite" Americans? Yeah, see, that's what's called TRUE SPORTSMANSHIP.

                            How come the US Baseball team never has hardly any big names on it? This year there was just basically abunch of minor leaguers. Why does all the stars in Basketball play their Olympic games. But big name Major Leaguers never do?
