1. No Cuba? No thanks.

This is just a marketing ploy to get Major League ballplayers in front of viewers in other parts of the world.

Or, maybe I'm just a big cynic. I'll watch a game here and there to see what's what though. But, the Cubans should be participating. For international sports competitions, politics should be removed.

2. Yeah it is...but that's ok if it increases its popularity...

Alot of big stars playing...

And MLB wanted Cuba to be there...the Treasury Department refused...We can blame W for this one...

3. Yeah, and W wanted to be commissioner of baseball.

Can it be that he'd be worse than Bud? Scary.

I have mixed feelings though cause as a Twins fan I can't forgive him for trying to contract my team...on the other hand at least Bud is a Democrat!

5. On ESPN yesterday. Puerto Rico may not host

if Cuba is not included.

I have no idea why we carry on this weird grudge against Cuba.

6. It is childish...and all about Florida politics!!!

No other reason makes any sense...we certainly maintain relations with dictators far worse than Castro!

7. Well, now that the Brewers have gotten rid of the Selig Stench...

We broke Even this year,

Dare I say World Series Champs by 2007? (Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the Milwauke Braves's 1957 title)
