Cuanto va a afectar la partida de Victor Mesa?
La partida de Víctor Mesa afectara mucho por que, su estilo de dirección es único, logra que todos juguemos al máximo cada juego, su disciplina exigente y contraria a todo lo mal hecho es difícil de igualar y no teme decirle a nadie sus defectos.
El equipo esta listo para un nuevo dirigente?
Pienso que al equipo aun le falta mayor preparación para la nueva dirección.
Como un veterano completo en que puedes ayudar a el equipo y el nuevo dirigente?
Como capitán del equipo y veterano haré mi mayor esfuerzo para ayudar al equipo en todo, como así también a la nueva dirección.
Como crees que VC juegue en la proxima serie nacional?
Creo que el Villa Clara como siempre dará todo de si y brindara un buen espectáculo al pueblo, clasificara para los playoffs.

Adiel Palma retires from Cuban baseball
Adiel Palma who played for Cienfuegos for 21 seasons decided to call it a career shortly after getting silver in Beijing. He won 139 games and struck out 1,1816 batters with his provincial team. He has won titles in the Central American Games, Pan American Games, Intercontinental Cup, World Cup and in the Olympics. He also formed part of the silver medalist World Baseball Classic team.
Injuries have haunted him over the years and he was even affected in the 2006 World Baseball Classic when he felt the pain in the championship game. He tried to return to his team after the Olympics, but the lingering injury forced him to retire. He leaves atop of his game and he will surely be missed by his fans.

Ruben Amaro Jr. is the new Phillies GM
With the presidential election now over, I can finally focus on some developments that played out during that time. As Barack Obama shattered ceilings and broke down barriers, another multiracial man did the same in baseball. Ruben Amaro Jr., the once bat boy for the Philadelphia Phillies, is now their General Manager. Amaro Jr. is of Cuban and Mexican descent by way of his father and Jewish through his mother.
Amaro Jr. not foreign to the game as he played in the majors from 1991-1998. He joined the Phillies front office after his playing career ended. Pat Gillick stepped down after the season and it wasn't a mystery as to who would be his replacement. Amaro Jr. had been an assistant GM for the last ten years and was well groomed for the job. He will have a tough act to follow since they are fresh off winning the World Series.

The 2008 Presidential Election
I blogged earlier about the Phillies winning the World Series and I couldn't resist the keyboard to write about possibly the biggest and most meaningful victory that I hope witness: the election of Barack Obama. At 7:21 pm PT Obama leads by a 207-135 vote total.
I can't help but make reference to how this is like a sporting event where one side is waiting to declare victory as a ticker flashes below the TV just like in a player draft. This is just so much more meaningful on so many levels; America electing our first Black president something that many felt we would not see in our lifetime. Obama is such a great orator that I get chills when I hear him speak eerily similar to MLK Jr. in his speeches. This is a victory for all minorities because we can finally say and mean Si Se Puede! I probably won't get any sleep tonight because I want to see California's electoral votes go his way and hopefully hear his victory speech.
UPDATE:
HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS MR. PRESIDENT
BARACK OBAMA
44th PRESIDENT OF THE USA

Phillies new World Champions
I know it took me a while to finally blog about it. I tend to pull for the National League nearly 99% of the time, but when a team eliminates the Dodgers that becomes a little more difficult. Congratulations are in order for Cole Hamels the Series MVP and the rest of the Phillies.
The Rays were outpitched in a Series where they seemed to have the upperhand. Former Dodgers played a role on both teams. Players included Dioner Navarro, Willy Aybar, Jayson Werth and Shane Victorino.
The home field advantage was anything but and the Phillies played well both away and at home. I was not a fan of Game 5 reconvening in the 6th inning. I was hoping since it was the WS maybe they would have started anew. Either way, my hat goes off to the City of Brotherly Love.
