43:51: Fake Cubs.

* Frank Schwindel, 29, was drafted by the Royals in the 18th round of the 2013 draft out of St. John's University in Queens. There's nothing in his career that would have suggested the kind of success he's having this season.

1:02:12: USMNT Qualifies, Fire Doesn't.

Great 2nd Half, scoring 4 times in 2nd half and making it seem like we had won that game easily; but if you saw 1st half it was complete opposite, as US played bad!
Congratulations to #Pepe for scoring & assist in his first game for #USMNT#USAvHON #ConcacafWCQualifying https://t.co/u73kCnJIze
