USA 6, Canada 5

The ESPN Report....Watch and listen for something I am going to call Yankees on the Brain Syndrome at the World Wide Leader.



Oh, and it's pronounced Puts.

Box score:

Ex-Rattlers for USA:
Matt Thornton ('98, '99, '00): IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
JJ Putz ('00): IP, 2H, R, Save

Ex-Rattler for Canada:
Phillippe Aumont ('08): IP, 2H, BB, 0R, 2K

I am looking at TSN.CA for some video of Aumont pitching into and out of trouble in the bottom of the seventh, but apparently their videos do not want to work in the US today.

And since Gameday won't allow a cut and paste here is a transcription of Aumont's inning:
  • Dustin Pedroia doubles to right
  • Jimmy Rollins singles to third. Pedroia stays at second
  • With Chipper Jones batting, Aumont throws a wild pitch. Rollins to second. Pedroia to third
  • Jones walks. Bases loaded. No outs.
  • Coaching visit to mound.
  • David Wright Lines out to short. Bases Loaded. One out.
  • Kevin Youkilis strikes out swinging. Bases Loaded. Two out.
  • Curtis Granderson strikes out swinging. Three out. Zero Runs.
  • Aumont yells in triumph and pumps fist!
  • Judges give Aumont 9.5 out of a possible 10 points for fist pump!
Those last two bullet points may not be on the original gameday entry.

That was pretty cool to see Aumont dominated that inning.

Question. Who's #8 for team USA? One of the coaches?

Braun's wearing #18 and Victorino's wearing #50.

And on a side question, do i have too much useless knowledge rattling around in my melon that i'm figuring with #8 unavailable Victorino is wearing #50 in tribute to fellow Hawaiian Benny Agbayani?

...if only I'd actually applied myself in school..
