Overconfidence Sinks Canadians

Happy Fathers Day - Daddy!

Yes, He is wearing an NABA t-shirt

The Canadians were brought down to reality on Sunday as they lost to the Dogers 2-1 and 2-1 (8 innings).  Coach DiTrinco was banking on another All-Star performance from the only known father on the team...Jeff Eckler who went 0-4 3Ks.  Ouch.  So lets run down the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Lets start with the good. Canadians pitching performed admirably as they held the Dodgers to four runs all day.  Props to Ditrinco, Deuel, Doyle, and Lambiase, and Lou DiTrinco for grilling between games.  The bad; the Canadian offense was 7-61 on the day. A whopping .114 team BA. Wow. Somebody get these guys some tennis rackets.  Michael Jordan hit .202 for the Birmingham Barons for crying out loud.  Maybe that will bring the boys egos down just a bit.  The ugly; two words...Dan Witkowski. Now everybody has bad days, but he was 0-7 6Ks on the day.  I would normally recommend a "slumpbuster" but his girlfriend is waaaayyy to hot.  Pitchers beware, we expect Wit to have a huge day on Sunday, because he is in fact huuuuuuggggeeee like Billy Fuccillo.  How else could he pull tail while sporting the NABA t-shirt? (apologies to Bethany...you really have to think of these write-ups like the National Enquirer) 

Quote of the Day - Eckler drops the ball that would have thrown out the Dodger leadoff hitter by 3 steps.  Basic conversation occurs...and then - "So, I've stolen off guys that throw 1.7!"  So when did you play against Pudge Rodriguez in his prime?
