So much for getting up to watch the game lmao, I was way too sick last night.  USA takes silver after getting shut out by Japan 2-0. Scioscia was able to win an Olympic silver medal but was not able to win a playoff game with Mike Trot.  Imagine being told that in 2012?

To be fair, Team USA is a bunch of washed out AA caliber players. It kinda makes the baseball Olympics a joke.

Still though, props to Japan for getting the gold medal.

A lifetime of drug-free living, my friend. I'm always awake at that time.

T&F was 1,000 times better than scrub baseball.

Track and field is my favorite also

Erratic to non-existent

This game is being replayed on NBCSN in half an hour if anyone who missed it wants to watch it (and is awake)

Sosh is still better than Maddon…by a large margin (no fat jokes pls).

Will Mr. Scioscia completely retire from the baseball scene?
