Somehow, deep inside, I have a thought that the USA basketball loss resulted from the decision of the Colorado Rockies to not release Canadian pitcher Jeff Francis for the Olympics. (No doubt they clearly felt the needed two more starts in Triple A would benefit his long term career more than the Olympics) Given that the USA team didn't qualify in baseball, the recompense for Colorado's decision had to play out in another sport.

(Canada beat Taiwan 7-0 today, which just proves that what happens in the Little League World Series doesn't always transcend later in life..)
