After squeaking by Canada 6-5 on Saturday, the US takes on Venzuela from Toronto in the World Baseball Classic. We're breaking down the action as it happens ...

8:00 pm et - Calling the game for ESPN at Rogers Centre is Dave O'Brien and Rick Sutcliffe. Always wondered why Skydome and now Rogers Centre weren't/aren't allowed to have "The" in front of it.

8:06 - Leading off for USA is Jimmy Rollins, rightfully starting at shortstop in place of Derek Jeter, who got the nod yesterday vs Canada. On the mound for Venezuela is Armando Galarraga.

8:09 - J-Ro rips a double to center, and promptly gets picked off second when Dustin Pedroia whiffs on a bunt. Bad job by Pedroia right there. Gotta get that down. Of course, not sure bunting there makes any sense in the first place.

8:13 - Chipper Jones is frozen by 93 mph cheese at the knees to end the inning. Even there, though, he looked cool doing it. He looks cool doing most things, except when he's killing the Mets.

8:16 - On the hill for USA is Roy Oswalt. Good to see he's recovered from all the pain and agony that A-Rod's steroid admission had caused him.
