Playball! -kagasstro style....
kagasstro says: If I don't like your game, I take you to el paredon!The most I read about the subject the worse.
For what is surfacing, apparently no one thought of impossing this condition to kagasstro: yeah, you can send your team, with one condition, though, they have to incorporate all the Cuban American players in it. That would have been such a blow that he would not be able to send a team. Every other team is incorporating players who are based and playing in the States. Why his team is exempt of this practice is beyond comprehension. Actually, it's within comprehension: kagasstro impossed his conditions to a group of people too eager to please him. We need to look at the money trail, because there's one, for sure.
Imagine the Cuban American players in a team with the athletes they know from their Cuba days. Imagine the exchanges in the clubhouse and the dugouts. And the message those Cuban American players could convey one on one to their (captive) team-mates.
But well, no one dared to tell kagasstro that this was our condition to allow him play the Classic.
Nobody told him this either: yes, you can play. But you have to bring back to the States the 15 balseros who were unjustly sent to Cuba. Or maybe this: yes, you can play, but you have to liberate all the political prisoners to be able to come here. Of course we all know very well that he would have never accepted these conditions, but we would have left the ball on his side of the field. Instead, the geniuses in charge allowed him to play politics of the worst kind, racial politics, so he's telling to everyone who wants to listen that he would give any proceeds to the Katrina victims. Why is that he is not asked about the conditions of life of the population of Cuba? Why is that he is not asked about the apartheid he impossed on Cubans of all races?
Again, another blunder.
I just pray to God that He illuminates all the policy makers who deal with Cuban issues and that they start reading the blogs as a result of the enlightment.

I think the circumstances of those players from Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic joining their home countries team is quite a different bird here. For one those guys come and go to their countries as they please and there are no hard feelings either from the players nor their countries. Nor have they been accused of being TRAITORS for wanting a better life in the USA.
The Cuban-American players, ceased to be Cubans in the eyes of the Kuban governments and these men do not look at Kuba with any sense of patriotism.
Besides, I rather KaSStro did NOT have the Cuban-Americans playing on HIS side.
Let them play for the country that gave them what KaSStro could never give them FREEDOM and an opportunity to use their god give talents to provide for their families.
The Balseros issues is one I put straight on the shoulders of the USA . I WOULD had given those 15 people an American Visa IMMEDIATELY (along with the ones given to the Baseball team) and demanded they were allowed to travel to the USA to have their day in court WITH the baseball team.
As far as demands to KaSStro; when has the USA EVER made any demands to KaSStro? Whatever “bollo ‘e Vieja” wants, he gets. It is just SO MUCH easier to the White House.
What I am looking for is to see a Cuban-American player standing on first base with a Cuban player and telling him about the Mercedes and the Ferrari he owns, while the poor saps money is gonna go to feed “Katrina’s” victims .
Now ON THAT bit of propaganda ALONE I would’ve denied the visas to the Cuban team, because as always The Beast takes every opportunity he has to convert ANY event in which he participates into a propaganda platform.
I DO hope that the American team will ROYALLY kick the ass of KaSStro’s “NEW MAN” and watch him eat crow and THEN present the Cuban players with a check for 10 grand telling them “Here, this is so you can eat some “Tourist” food in your own country”
But is there anyone in Washington thinking in terms of reciprocal propaganda? Nope! Why? Cause Kuba is just an annoying fly to which you only pay attention when it is trying to shit in your soup.
