Found this article and I think it echoes what most Cuban's who have come to America feel as well as first generation Cuban-Americans. It's almost the very same thing my father told me over the phone not too long ago and I know he didn't read this article.

Looks like I jinxed the Tampa Bay Rays. I think it was right after my last blog praising them that they started their losing streak.

In other news, about this time of year every year I start quietly rooting for the Marlins to lose. Reason being I don't want baseball season to interfere with football season longer than it has to and with the Hurricanes now playing in the Dolphins stadium I have twice the reason. You see the dirt infield is a hinderance to the football teams. It ...

Why the Dolphins didn't draft a Corner or WR is beyond me. The Dolphins strongest position is Running back yet we took two RB's in the draft and no corner or WR. This WR corp sucks. Possibly the worst I've seen here since the days where all we had was O.J. McDuffie but at least you knew O.J. was going to catch whatever was thrown to him. I've never liked Ernest Wilford.

In some ways the Rays season is better than that of the Marlins. While the Marlins rise was a complete surprise the Rays ...

for me, has to be this crap about having to retaliate after one of your players gets hit with the ball. What the heck! Is that really necessary or just completely childish and idiotic? A player on your team gets hit or they throw behind him...so what! Take your freakin base and play the game, there's no need to retaliate. Make the other team pay by batting the runner in. It's just stupid.

You know the NHL cleaned up their act by not allowing so much fighting, which was a huge ...
