The tense tales of baseball players escaping Cuba - A Black Falcon - 17th April 2014
This has just come out about Yasiel Puig, now a Dodgers star and not long ago an escapee from Cuba. Crazy story!

Seriously, can't we just end the Cuba embargo already... it's beyond ridiculous. Yeah, they're an oppressive Communist regime, but it's not like we're not supporting far worse governments; there is no other nation the US treats anything remotely like what it does to Cuba. Maybe Castro will have to die before finally something can happen, but it should. Maybe it'll even help open up Cuba some, too.
Either that or we should be consistent and treat China just like we do Cuba. I can't see that getting anywhere.

Isn't this a little soon? Didn't those guys already play sportball last year?

This isn't even really about baseball you know, it's about escaping Cuba to play baseball. Read the articles, or just the first one at least. Crazy stuff.

Cuba would be REALLY easy to take over, like... super easy. Heck I could probably do it.
