LA84 Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I knew that headline would get all the Europeans in here. :laughlong: Barring Cuba From World Baseball Classic Could Hurt U.S. Chances for Hosting a Future Olympics O.K. - it's baseball. It's not like we are inviting them up for a worldwide nuclear conference or something. We already have the embargo in place which should have been lifted a long time ago IMHO. :glare: So what is the purpose of starting and hosting this international baseball series if one of the better teams, the Cubans, isn't present? However, surprise surprise little Dickie Pound is right on this story. :glare: Oh well - hopefully whoever is elected in 2008 can take care of this problem.

Stu Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Everyone will be really relieved to be rid of Bush by January 2009 - only a few short months before the vote, the euphoria of that alone will greatly improve a US city's prospects.

Olympic USA Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Are the White House afraid of Cuba winning this tournament? Probably, while i'm not dissing USA baseball it is hard to ignore that the Cubans have a good baseball program going on for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
