Only in Canada would the headline of "Ken Klee traded to NJ Devils for prospect" take precedence over this, but the significance of it should be noted. At the inaugural World Baseball Classic, Canada upset the star-studded USA squad by a score of 8-6. There were some heart stopping moments that almost made you think that they would choke under the pressure, including a bobbled flyball that bounced out of the glove of the center fielder that would have been the final out of the game. But, they stuck to their guns and pulled off the HUGE upset. I love it when the States are overwhelming favourites and THEY are the ones that....cough, cough.......CHOKE! even if it's a game more times than not I won't watch. Do you remember when the USA Olympic basketball "dream team" lost to, what country was it, Yugoslavia in the gold medal game? I DO! It's probably unhealthy to be laughing at other people's misfortunes, but hey, those lazy American athletes deserve what's coming to them.

Way to go Canada!
