Talk:And the United States Loses/@comment-ASwaff-2006031721016

Clemens must have felt at home. Allowed two runs and took the loss. Just like his entire 2005 season with the Astros. I gotta say one thing. I kept hearing guys talking about how we haven&quot;t been playing the real World Series in the U.S. Huh? The guys carring almost all of these international teams are playing in the U.S. Korea is the exception. But seriously, how dumb a comment is that? Is there any real doubt that the best players in the world are playing in the U.S.? So what if they&quot;re not actually &quot;&quot;from&quot;&quot; the U.S.?

But Awright is correct. Someone&quot;s gotta light a fire under our pro athletes. Between this and the 2004 Olympic basketball team, we look like we couldn&quot;t care less about our sports. And while it&quot;s true that there are many things that are much more important, do we not care at all?? It&quot;s really starting to look that way. Not just because we can&quot;t win, but because we don&quot;t even seem to want to play at all. What on earth is wrong with the athletes in this country?
