Can you say Kosuke Fukudome?

Fukudome is the new Japanese Right Fielder for the Chicago Cubs.
There's been a lot of hype and talk surrounding him since he's been here.
With that said, you should know how to say his name, right??!?!??!

Well, last week, I got a nasty e-mail from a viewer who's mad at me, for not getting it right.
He went on to say I am unprepared for my job, disheveled, disinterested in my work and that I settle for mediocrity.

To be honest with you, I don't think I butchered it that bad, but even so....can you say it perfectly at first glance?
Try it.
Kosuke Fukudome

If you can't get it, here's the official pronouncer from the Cubs website.....

"KOH-skay foo-koo-DOUGH-may"
