  1. I agree with this and think the embargo is stupid and should be lifted. However, the younger generation of Cuban Americans are democrats and are already against the embargo. The anti-Castro exile Cuban Americans are hugely pro-republican and their voting bloc is a MAJOR asset to republicans in Florida. And for that reason alone you will not see congress vote to lift the embargo. And that's who has to do it, congress. It can't be an executive order from the President. I think this is a nice play by Obama. It makes it a discussion. Maybe in a few years another, more mature congress will vote to lift it.
  2. Like you said in another post, this trade needs some time to assess a winner. However, I think Nats made out the best for the reason that they got Trea Turner AND Joe Ross. I think Souza is a AAAA player because he had his break out hitting year at the age of 25. That's a little late and you're older than your competition. I've also read that Souza didn't take baseball seriously until recently, so I might be wrong going forward. Either way I would take Trea Turner/Joe Ross over Souza/Ott.
  3. However it is nice PR for an outgoing lame duck president.
  4. It won't happen, at least not anytime soon. No congress will vote on lifting embargoes or softening stances. The reason is Florida. It's a swing state and WAY too vital for the democrats and republicans to vote on something that's seen as Cuba-friendly.
  5. Rizzo is a genius. He got Trea Turner and Joe Ross for a AAAA player in Souza.
  6. His last year was when he was Dwayne Murphied though. IF Dbacks ate a substantial part of his contract, Hill would be a nice upgrade on Goins at the plate. He could help transition to Travis, if he develops well.
  7. We could have made a three-way deal with the Tigers and gotten Moss.
  8. They will herald this a successful season because for the first time in many years we had "meaningful games in August"
  9. Lind joins team tomorrow, according to Gibby. Not sure if he starts though.
  10. Anyone else worried about us looking like poop tomorrow in Seattle?
  11. Gose > Colby WAR due to defense. I'd be OK with him, but there's a part of me telling me Colby can be Colby of last year again.
  12. Nothing is reminiscent of JPA other than a pile of bricks at the plate with a blue jay hat on.
  13. Lind joins Jays on Monday, Edwin "hopefully by end of next week" http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140809&content_id=88737198&notebook_id=88753156&vkey=notebook_tor&c_id=tor
  14. This thread is doing this to the entire board: http://i.imgur.com/dKNsN7L.gif
  15. How do you see the Royals hit Dickey so hard and not take him out now?
  16. Can someone translate what they were talking about in the dugout?
  17. Only way to do it to get advice from guys on this thread: "Off topic, but can anybody confirm that the Gardiner is closed? A girl who friendzoned me and I are going to Saturdays game."
  18. The Tampa commentators yesterday said something along the lines of: "Hitting isn't new to the Jays, it goes back to Cito. Actually it goes back to a man named Dwayne Murphy who turned things around for a lot of hitters here in Toronto"
  19. Wilner tweets "there are many many people worse than Josh Lueke" and faces heat on twitter. Awesome.
