Common sense prevails in the Bush Administration-a Miracle!While the KARMA continues I am buying a lottery ticket.Thank you MLB for not giving up. Relations between US and Cuba have fluctuated over the decades but BASEBALL has always been a common bond.Fans in Cuba and US- Enjoy the games!

What would've been a great series to watch is now something I'll probably just casually read about or hear about on the radio. Although I'm not sure where the blame lies? I don't see what more the MLB could've done, all things considered. Yeah, politics and sports don’t mix.

MLB "blew it"! DUMMIES! They should have gotten approval for Cuba before planning tournament. Now the US treasury Dept. will just sit on 2nd appl. and not rule. "Politics is Politics". You have to know how to PLAY THE GAME! Judge Landers pulled the same trick on old Federal League in the early 1900's. As an old country lawyer I know its the "OLDEST TRICK IN THE BOOK".

It's called the "monotema" which could be translated to english as "mono-subject", that is, the only subject of conversations. And yes, is a pity what the US government did. I was excited about the tournament as baseball is my favorite sport. But we are already used to this kind of absurd politic-driven decisions. We (almost) always end up talking about politics here.
