Yankees blow a 9-2 lead? How often does that happen? And Mariano coughs up the save! Wish the Sox were building a little cushion while the Yanks are so dinged up.
As far as all the furriners, I thought the officiating was a little weak in the US/Italy game. While I agree that Pope's second yellow was deserved, the red card against the US in the first half was a joke. I saw the replays after the game, but at the time I was listening to the game on my XM and after the Italian was ejected, the US broadcaster said, "The Americans need to be careful here, b/c referees tend to look for a reason to even up the sides." I don't really believe that, but boy it sure looked like prophecy when the US got that red card on a marginal foul.
