    @emmaspan @cistulli @ericnus too much crack, not enough reporting.

    Hermosillo is hot. Lots of baseball caps and jerseys being worn at the airport. @ericnus and I on our way to see Mexico vs. Venezuela.

    Mexico lost to Venezuela last night. Walk off single. 4-3. Serie del Caribe is best atmosphere I've ever seen at a baseball game. Amazing.

    So much fun. The people of Sonora could not be more friendly. It seems very easy to find yourself chatting and laughing with strangers.

    There'll be no better sporting event today than Mexico vs Dominican Republic in the Caribbean Series tonight. Super Bowl, schmuper bowl.

    P.R.+Venezuela about to get started in Hermosillo & the stadium is almost completely empty. Very different vibe from the Mex game last night

    Pretty thin crowd here at Estadio Sonora for the Venezuela-Puerto Rico game. Still a massive queue for the merch store, though.

    Highlight of the Serie del Caribe so far: Jaime Jarrin's Dodger jacket at the Hall of Fame ceremony earlier today.

    @TylerMaun this is by far the best park I've seen in Mexico. It's gorgeous. About 20,000. Great sightlines everywhere.

    Another Serie del Caribe highlight: @flipflopflying repeatedly mistaking a baseball-shaped Tecate balloon for the moon.

    Venezuela 3-1 up vs. Puerto Rico, middle of the 6th. Lovely moment in front of me with PR, Vz, and Mex fans all posing for photos together.

    Is it disrespectful to tweet during the himno nacional?

    Miguel Tejada looking surprisingly nimble going into the hole at SS for the Dominican Republic. #superbowl
