An interesting week for Miami baseball, eh? There's the stadium debacle, but APGG is still amazed by the World Baseball Classic, which delivered some interesting semi-final action here at home. Regrettably, it'll be remembered less for what happened on the diamond than for the rabid, froth-filled anti-Chavistas who cheered en masse against their own team. At least when Venezuelan superstar Magglio Ordonez came to bat. Or when he left the dugout. Returned to the dugout. Touched himself. Breathed. You get the idea.
Ordonez as El Diablo? Por supuesto! Just look at that photo of him standing along Lucifer* himself. I know what you're thinking. This is Amerikkka. We shouldn't expect tolerance and freedom of speech. I guess not, since Ordonez was booed mercilessly. His crime? Politics. APGG was in attendance and stood aghast at the foolish behavior demonstrated by the Venezuelan fans. Imagine if on Opening Day, APGG arrived at Dolphins Stadium armed not only with the Marlins roster, but the Federal Election Commission contribution report for the team. "RBI Uggla...High Five, brother!" "No, wait. It says here he gave $750 to Mitt Romney**. Fuck him! Booo!!"
Can you imagine? Absurd, huh? That's what it was like in Miami for Venezuela vs. The Netherlands. What's the lesson here? When it comes to sports, leave politics at home. If you can't...stay home yourself.
*Hugo Chavez is not Lucifer. He's a cuddly, revolutionary teddy bear.
**APGG does not know if Dan Uggla is amongst the lunatic fringe that donated money to Mitt Romney.

Rabid, profanity laden stuff, APGG! Good for you and welcome back!
APGG t'was already admonished for his language by APGD (A Pretty Good Dad).
I missed the Venezuela game, but I agree - they should've left their politics at home!
