Steve,
    Here's a long hand version (that makes assumptions).
wes
--------------------------------------------------------------
str = "Winner (121,10) blah blah blah Winner (10,400) blah blah Winner (103,4) blah blah"

list = str.split()
pts = []
for s in list:
     if (s[0] == '(' ) and (s[-1]== ')' ):
         try:
             temp = s[1:-1].split(',')
             pts.append( (int(temp[0]), int(temp[1])) )
         except:
             pass

for p in pts:
     print p[0],p[1]

---------------------------------------------------


produces:
 >>>
121 10
10 400
103 4
 >>>
