I'm a Yankee fan, despite being a native Texan and I'm pulling for the White Sox, too.
I was never in favor of giving up on Contreras and El Duque.
"Go Sox! All the Way!"
Then, when, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez and Jose Contreras are named as Twin MVP's, Uncle Fidel can have the final big stroke of his life.
Castro probably hates the Astros too ... h*ll, he hates all of America.
I admire the Cubans willing to leave the island for freedom but
Go Astros!
Shut up and die, Fidel. Steven Spielberg, Oliver Stone, and Robert Redford will send flowers.
What America will get with the socialist democrats socialized medicine project once they have the power to enact such. Hillary care at its best as you die on the floor, waiting for some off-duty janitor to doan his EMT uniform, catch public transportation to the ambulance holding area, sign 18 documents in triplicate to get the ambulance issued to him, drive to the "energy" pumps to put in a new battery because the one in the ambulance has run low because of no solar power because of global warming and cloudy skys, drives to the 7-11 for his mandatory 1 hour smoke break and coffee, then to the station at the end of the street to get a street map. He then drives to your house to find you dead. He calls 9-1-1 to report finding a dead body and not a sick person. Asks for the local coroner be sent to his location.
Local coroner is notified . . . (repeat all above)
Yup, welcome to socialism. Coming to America sooner than you think.
Oh, man. I want the Astros because they never won before. This is making it tough.
The only thing better than Castro being out of power is Castro being embarassed in his favorite sport.
But I thought hollywood said Cuba is a paradise. oh well.
Great story and adds even more back drama to the Series, between a team that's never been before and one that hasn't won in 88 years.
It looks like it will be a pitcher's Series, which to a large extent it always is. Prediction: somebody will win in seven!
But then it occurred to me that Chicago hasn't won a World Series for just as many years as Boston went hungry, even though there are two MLB teams in Chicago.
So if Boston had "The Curse of the Bambino" what does Chicago have? "The Curse of Shoeless Joe Jackson"? And who put the whammy on the Cubs?
I'm so blue, Cubbie blue. Please Astros defeat the Pale Hose. Stike a dagger to the wicked Soud Siderz!!!!
One reason I would never cheer for the Orioles is their owner, Multi-billionaire Peter Angelos, has sworn never to sign a Cuban player without El Commandantes' permission. Amazing how liberals stills believe in involuntary servitude, if the "massa" is a communist dictator.
Since Hugo Chavez sucks up to Ozzie Guillen, and Fidel Castro rails against Guillen's whole team, it would be nice to see Chavez and Castro get into a fight over this baseball team. I'd like to see Castro have a cow. Let's hope they come to blows.
Not only is Castro not able to credibly play baseball, he can't even dance! For a Cuban, this is a real sign of damaged merchandise. I have a film of Castro and Chavez playing baseball and Chavez is enjoying himself grandly and playing pretty well. Castro, on the other hand, plays like he's wearing a mummy suit. He's such a loser.
Good enough for me - off to Tradesports .. Go Sox! Screw Castro! ;-)
