Italy upsets U.S. at Baseball World Cup

Italy surprised Team USA 6-2 at the Baseball World Cup in Taiwan. An error by Brian Bixler kicked off a three-run rally by the Italians in the second inning and the U.S. never could catch up. Josh Outman took the loss.

Japan is the next opponent. The U.S. is 2-1 in round robin play. Spain, South Africa, and Taiwan will follow.

There is a pitcher named Outman? What an awesome name for a pitcher to have! Get it? He's a man who gets outs.

Oddly enough, in Swedish, "Outman" would mean "Un-out-man". Considering the fact that he took the loss to Italy, it would suggest he wasn't quite pitching in English.

I wonder what percent of the Italian players are actually Italian born. If they are indeed home bread players, my hat off to them for beating the US squad. Interesting that Andy LaRoche was playing firstbase.
