Don't take it personally. The nation's Guardian readers all just arrived at our incredibly right-on jobs and are wondering if drinking seven fair trade coffees in a row will make us feel better about third world debt. It's hard to get involved in a game between a porcine American and small, dull looking Belgian.

When [Tatum] hit those three in a row, it really got them going. We weren't able to get back in it. They made plays, and we didn't.
