The funniest part of the tournament so far has to be Mark De Rosa. He told everyone that Team USA had "punched their ticket" to the quarterfinals before their shock loss to Team Italy! Team USA actually had to wait for the results of the Italy-Mexico clash in order to be sure they'd make it out of pool play. Team Mexico got whipped by the surprising Italy squad and that guaranteed a US appearance in the knockout round.
Logan Webb started for Team USA last night and was exactly Logan Webb. Mark De Rosa inexplicably yanked him after 4-2/3 scoreless.
