I hit the stadium Saturday night for the Venezuela vs. Italy game at 8:00 pm. We had decided to root for Venezuela with the super-star lineup including, Bobby Abreu, Miguel Cabrera and lastly Magglio Ordonez, who was booed violently by Venezuelan spectators for (I assume) political reasons unknown to me. (As a sidenote, I wikipediaed Ordonez in search of answers but came up short; instead I learned that he has a family of 4, one son and two daughters, two of which are named, get this, Magglio Jr. and Maggliana. Obvious symptoms of a psychopathological condition know as, megalomania).I digress, Venezuela preformed effortlessly as expected, but wouldn't you know it, those damn Italians sure put up a good fight. Mario Chiarini dove for a hit to right field that had us stupefied and it was amore, we ditched the Latinos for the Guidos and got behind the underdogs.
You can catch all the action tonight as our own Jason Bay, Justin Morneau and Matt Stairs along with the rest of team Canada go up against Italy at 6:30 pm.
canada just got eliminated by the italian's.
