Shields with the K on a fastball upstairs.

Aaron Guiel flies out to deep center. Wells gets there easily. 2 down.

Yeah, it looked like a well hit ball. I would have bet if that was at Kauffman Stadium, more than likely (pending the wind) that ball might have made it out of there.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Utley!!

[da bears]

Let's get some runs!

[Brian]

what a play by utley!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

he might have been safe at first, but i'll take it.

[Brian]

DLEE is going to start the game winning rally here :D

Not if the ump is gonna screw him with a bad call.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

nope. strike 3.

[Coach C]

D-Lee strikes out looking. :(

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

ARod, this might be the only time I ever cheer for you. Appreciate it.

 

 

GO AROD!!

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

ARod Ks swinging on a low fastball.

[da bears]

Things slipping away now. Come on US, lets do something offensive next time.

[Coach C]

That was so Cub-like inning. 2 K's, and a 4-3 putout.

 

Yuck.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Teixeira continues his wonderful performance by grounding out on the 1st pitch he sees.

[Yeti]

ok, granted i just woke up in time to see DLee's AB and i still feel a bit groggy, but is DLee standing further off the plate than he used to?

The whole "we're going to stick to the pre-set gameplan, no matter if Canada is up on us or not" may bite the US in the butt.

 

Dunno why you take out guys swinging hot bats when you're down two runs.

 

We're lucky Gagne and Dempster aren't on their team.

Two more innings. We beat them in BP depth, but our bats seem to have a very precise on/off switch.

Well, Griffey should be out for the shoddy defense. Wells too, but that's another story.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Shields is impressive.

What team does this Stubby Clapp play for? I can already tell I'm gonna hate this guy if he comes to the majors.

Independent team somewhere in Edmonton.

Toronto, but he spent some time in the Cards org, so maybe you're feeling the residual evil rolling off him.

 

edit: no longer in the Toronto org.

[da bears]

Man, no way do I want Bonds on this team.
