missing the real question...

Yesterday, Olympic softball, the U.S. slammed the Chinese with 9 runs in the first inning (all on 2 outs).  We gave up and turned the TV off when that inning finally ended.

So all the reports in the sports pages are all about that great victory (yet another American victory where the game stopped after the 5th inning given the insane lead).

But NO report actually asked the real valid question: why didn't they score any more in the subsequent 4 innings?  Had that first inning not happened, that's 4 innings of 0-0 ties going on, showing a not too strong U.S. team in the bigger picture of things...
