    Canada takes down U.S. in baseball?

    That must be a typo, they meant hockey, right?

    Canada pulled off a shocker at the World Baseball Classic, riding the arm of Adam Loewen to an 8-6 victory over the powerful United States.

    Sadly, it wasn't as close as the final score indicates. The U.S. d*** near got MercyRuled.


    GG, Canada.

    I thought for sure Chase Utley had given us the lead when he hit that BLAST to deep CF. Stinkin canadian had to make a nice catch though....

    Well, they're playing the WBC on a wider field and the Americans aren't used to it.

    A well-placed slap shot might do him some good...

    From jono's link:

    Trailing 8-6, the U.S. appeared poised to tie the game but Stern robbed Chase Utley of extra bases with a huge glove catch against the centre-field wall.
    "Glove catch"? As opposed to a barehand catch?

    Ah, but then in hockey, you have a glove save, a pad save, etc. right?

    LOL... I didn't catch that.

    Yes, in hockey they use terms like "glove save", "pad save", etc... probably a hockey writer.

    Well, I think the Canada game was a wake-up call.

    The U.S. leads South Africa 17-0.

    Skunk!

    Well it's not the first time.

    Toronto beat Atlanta and Philadelphia in the World Series. I remember going into a Toronto restaurant during a CART event and seeing the headlines on a Canadian paper that said "Our Americans are Better Than Your Americans."
