If you've got the time

I know it's a lot to ask people to flip their TV away from basketball today (and I don't blame anyone for it, I love the first two rounds of the NCAA tourney), Oliver Perez will take the mound for Mexico against the US tonight at 7:30 on ESPN. The US needs a win to advance. Mexico can't advance (minus winning 3-0 or 4-0 against the US in a 13 inning game or longer... these tiebreakers are seriously on crack for this thing), but eliminating the USA from the tournament is probably almost as good as advancing to the semis. Let's see if national pride can rouse something in Ollie that the NL Central failed to do last year, because if it can't I'm kind of afraid we might not ever see it again.
