Game time is less than 30 minutes away and the excitement–in this office, at least–is building. Roger Clemens gets the start for Team USA, in what could be his final professional performance. Yes, we've all heard his retirement threats before–the real thrill of this game is that a South Africa win will send Canada on to the next round (while a loss will advance the Americans). I'd like to see the best pitcher of all time have a great game, but go Canada… I mean South Africa!

UPDATE: Second inning… has Roger Clemens ever given up a 10 run lead? It's looking grim for the Canucks…
