The only thing about all this that's going to be hurtful to the Cuban community in Miami is the perception of them due to the few of them that are flipping out over this. Now all the white people in Northern Broward and West Palm are going to go "uh huh, those Cubans are crazy and need to shut up about Castro already".

[Party]

I didn't even know about this.

How dare you call that stadium by its Fidel give name! It's El Cerro!

He did say Viva Chavez in 2005, and so did 2 of his piece of shit sons.

I feel for those who struggled with Castro in Cuba and are still struggling. It would never happen here, but imagine someone coming into our country and taking all we have, not using gov't money to fix anything, having barely any food to eat and one day being told to get a bag, pack your stuff and leave. Just take this into perspective. Cuba was supposedly a great place to be in back in the day and Castro fucked it all up.

Another thing, imagine being arrested for trying to flee your country to find a better life for your family.

It's 7 years later. It's quite possible things changed and I believe Party alluded to his wife being a component to changing Ozzie's views from that time on. I really don't agree with you just referring to them as "pieces of shit" but that's just me.

David Samson is on LeBatard's show right now offering Cuban and Cuban-American fans the opportunity to meet with Ozzie personally to voice their displeasure and convey the pain they've endured as a result of Castro's regime.

First come, first served.

This is so dumb

A spokesman for "The Cuban Coalition" just denounced Ozzie's 5-game suspension as "token" and threatened to "take it to the sponsors." He also claimed the Marlins willfully ignored "precedents and case law" established by MLB in their 1996 handling of Marge Schott's Hitler comments.

I heard some of the protesters went to Sun Life because they didn't know the Marlins had a new ballpark. Just a funny visual.

That guy was beyond ridiculous. He represents everything that is wrong with the mindset of the hard liners in the exile community.

[MiamiHomer]

I really wonder if they know about the Selig-Castro meeting. I'm starting to see more and more media outlets report that now so I wonder if they will say anything about that. They probably don't even know who Selig is though.

[Mainge]

Is Showtime still filming? Would love to see how ownership reacted.

[MiamiHomer]

Yeah, they are. They sure got their money's worth.

Please be true.
