USA vs. Netherlands…

…and we’re live, bottom of the 5th, Team USA at the plate, your score, 1-0, good guys.
Sorry for being away so long. Between packing, repacking, busing up to Taipei blah, blah, it’s been a little nuts here in Taiwan.

But nuts in a good way, though. Since we last posted we’ve won four straight, including last night’s 3-1 quarterfinal win over Korea.

We’ve been pretty methodical along the way. Not really putting people away, but also leaving no doubt who is in control of the game, if that makes any sense at all.

Did a couple of minutes on the Stadeo TV broadcast yesterday. I mention this not to pump myself up (right), but more to plug Stadeo’s work throughout the tournament. Between their daily magazine pieces and their play-by-play commentary, the work has been stellar.

Serious superstitions going on right now with some of the staff. I’m not going to get into too much, for I don’t dare try to ruin the karma, but let it suffice to say that it involves the Golden Arches.

Other than that, not too much to report. Looking at the screen, Cuba is up on Japan 3-0 in the 5th. Not that we’re looking ahead or anything…just stating facts.

OK…now it’s top-7…we just bailed out the Dutch pitcher with a 7-pitch inning. A KC handoff here as Wright takes a bow, giving way to Musser. Let’s…go…Royals.

More so, however, let’s go eagles…this one is too close…

p.s. The time-change comment about “TGI Saturday’s” on my last post was gold.
