And you know what? Castro is correct!
But it's not the American baseball players who are afraid, no, it's that Buffoon President Bush and most of his Republican cronies who are afraid, afraid of those crazy Nazi Miami Cuban leaders that is, whose hatred of Fidel Castro surpasses any common sense they may have at one time... had.
We all know how corrupt the leaders of the Miami Cuban exiles can be ( re-Elian Gonzalez) and how they have held such a heavy influence over most of the Republican Party for over 50 years now.
In my humble opinion Fidel Castro is not that bad of a guy, we could of befriended him by now and believe me, Fidel would of been Americanized by now and his little island would of been overrun by McDonalds and Wall-Marts if it weren't for those stupid-idiots whose hate-filled, anti-Castro policies run the Republican Party and their Little Havana Cuban Exiles!
Politics aside, I'd love to see our best play their best, bet you we'd see some damn good international baseball we would! Love to see the Major Leagues get their asses whipped too.
Anyway, the hell with those Cuban Exiles, Republicans, and let's "play ball"!
It would shirly give some creedence to that farce we call the World Series!
I could see it now... USA, USA, USA versus... Viva Cuba, Viva Castro!

'We aren't afraid'
Castro says U.S. afraid to face Cuba in Classic
HAVANA (AP) -- Fidel Castro suggested the United States doesn't want to play Cuba in the World Baseball Classic, which is awaiting word on whether the U.S. government will let the island's players take part.
"We aren't afraid of anything," Castro said in a wide-ranging speech late Tuesday. "It's very difficult to compete against us in any area ... not even in baseball do they want to compete with Cuba."
Castro's comments appeared to refer to the inaugural World Classic, a 16-team tournament scheduled for March 3-20 and organized by Major League Baseball and its players' union.
The U.S. Treasury Department last month denied MLB's application for Cuba to play its scheduled first-round games in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory. Later rounds are to be played on the U.S. mainland.
The license is required under 45-year-old American sanctions against Cuba aimed at preventing Castro's government from receiving U.S. currency.
After Cuba promised to donate any money it received to victims of Hurricane Katrina, MLB reapplied for a license a second time and is awaiting a response...
