Don't tell me there wasn't a better option than Al Leiter when C.C. Sabathia bowed out.

 

[sears3820]

We need to show some better discipline at the plate. Too many times we've swung at pitches we can't do anything with early in the at-bat.

We need to start working the counts. Patience.

Adam Stern with an inside-the park HR. 8-0 Canada.

It's so bittersweet.

[BuckWrestler141]

Veritek grandslams with 2 outs! Go USA!

Canada 8 USA 6
6th inning.

 

[sears3820]

Huston Street on to pitch for the US. ARod and Utley also in.

 

[sears3820]

Bottom of the 8th, US still down 8-6.

Need to get something brewing.

 

[notfadeaway]

Ok....everyone put onl the rally caps.

 

[sears3820]

Last chance for the Americans. Steve Green on for Canada to close it out.

Due up:

Francoeur
Lee
ARod

 

[Jt4prez]

If Utley hits the ball twenty feet to the right, it is gone. Utley has been hitting the ball well, just right at people.

Hopefully we can get something going in the ninth with Francoeur, Lee, and A-Rod coming up.

 

[BuckWrestler141]

USA catches a break. A-Rod gets on first 2 outs still down by 2.

 

[sears3820]

We just got closed out by a AA/AAA Detroit Tiger farmhand.

I just hope we can advance.
