Yeah, already played, Cuba won 6-2 (though there was a contentious unpiring decision that cost us runs - the Cubans had a catch that bounced off the wall accepted as an out). But silver is an amazing result. Also we beat Japan twice - once during the preliminaries, 9-4, then 1-0 during the semis. So proud of the boys!

I was so thrilled to see Stuey get his gold medal at last, and the others were just superb as well. Although, I do find it a little amusing when the media keeps saying things like 'with the doping scandal in the lead-up to the games, the cycling team has responded in the best possible way'... uh, I dunno, but I would have thought the WORST way to respond to a claim that the cyclists were on drugs was to go out and win heaps of medals

Note that I DON'T think any of our cyclists were on drugs, just amused by the irony of it
