and I've heard/read that the Puerto Rican team is strong.

I did watch the game between the U.S. and Venezuela last night and, as expected, the U.S. roster is like a dream team. What I didn't expect was for the Venezuelan line up to be so impressive. I recognized every one of their hitters, just didn't realize all of them came from the same country! Their pitching, particularly the bullpen, isn't as deep as the Americans, so that was their downfall.
