spyboy1 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's about time we pulled our heads out and let them play. That was embarassing and made us look bad.

Breakwood Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 It's about time, now I dont want to get into politics but it would've been pretty hypocritical if China was allowed in and not Cuba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 It's about time, now I dont want to get into politics but it would've been pretty hypocritical if China was allowed in and not Cuba. It'd also be hypocritical, seeing how the Orioles were allowed to play an exhibition series with the Cubans a few years ago, how the Cubans came to the Olympics in Atlanta ('96), and how the Cuban soccer teams have played friendlies and tournaments with us. It was just some grandstanding to take a swipe at the one country on our list we hadn't agitated in a while.Where have you gone, Elian Gonzalez? "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Gamingboy Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Bring on the Cubans! Now we can prove to the world how good those "Amateur" players of theres really are! I look foreward to seeing them be (hopefully) embarrassed by our great Professionals and prove to the world that Cuba's success has only because they have played college players and minor leaguers!

Jigga Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Okay, add Fidel Castro to the 2006 Dead Pool. He's a goner after Cuba gets embarrased at the WBC AND half of the team defects. Who's scared now, bitch! On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.

Kess Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Thank goodness logic and reason finally won out. There was no good reason to keep Cuba out of the WBC and I would venture to say the fans want them to come play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swiss Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Perfect! Although I'm an Anticommunist, baseball is a sport, not a politics' matter. Let's play Cubans!!!Now WBC will be a surely entertaining baseball show. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
