Castro spouts off about baseball

January 19th, 2006

If you didn’t know it already, Fidel Castro is delusional. The Cuban dictator has suggested that the United States is afraid to play Cuba in the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

“We aren’t afraid of anything,” Castro said in a wide-ranging speech late Tuesday. “It’s very difficult to compete against us in any area … not even in baseball do they want to compete with Cuba.”

Thanks to Scott G. and Joel for pointing me to the story.

And, as Scott so accurately observed in another comment, “I say, let them play so we can kick some Commie butt.”

    Well, I do feel kinda bad for Castro. I think the reason he’s getting so delusional is because he’s so old. I mean seriously, how old is that guy already?
