USA Softball Team on David Letterman

[SC Ump]

I'm a big Dave Letterman fan, but I agree: it was an awful "Top 10" segment. The jokes were written poorly and being that the first one was not even remotely amusing, just a statement out of nowhere, it never had a chance to build up. (I don't know the player that "delivered" the #3 joke, but I thought she did it well, with a touch of acting.)
