The Jewish or Hitler are not the ones to blame. It isn\u2019t the moon\u2019s fault, nor my white grandfather\u2019s, who one evening long time ago crossed the steel curtain and settled in Uruguay. It isn\u2019t Buena Fe\u2019s fault, though I deduce there is a lot of bad faith in blame. It isn\u2019t Pocholo\u2019s fault either; he was a nasty guy with a gang. It isn\u2019t Higinio\u2019s fault, though he also has a gang and we find that\u2019s a terrible burden.<\/p>\n
A single individual is not to be blamed for the fact that Cuban baseball is in such a mess. Cuban baseball has \u2013essentially\u2013 been so great that a single man would never be able to discredit it, even in one hundred years of incapable, irresponsible and atrocious individual management. Strong as the Chinese Wall (Marrero, Luque, M\u00e9ndez, Mi\u00f1oso, Vinent, Marquetti, Casanova), the Cuban baseball would have been able to fight back if it hadn\u2019t been for the plot.<\/p>\n
Yes, the plot. The maneuver, hopefully unconscious, by which it seams have gradually got loose. It begins (or ends) in the economic US blockade and ends (or begins) in the mental blockade by the Cuban part, focused in defending principles that can only foresee the end. And Higinio has been the visible face of absentmindedness, but he is not \u2013he cannot be\u2013 the one leading it. He is not the juggler of his generation, nor the strong hand of the charioteer. He doesn\u2019t have such reach.<\/p>\n
Higinio is the target of criticisms, and he deserves that, but for agreeing to be in ridicule, for being the spokesperson of stupidity pondered by other minds, rather than his own and indubitable incompetence. Higinio is the ventriloquist of someone who hides behind anonymity and finds joy all year round in guiding through the wrong course, perhaps out of a whim, blindness or basic opportunism. As a nice bodyguard, Higinio stood up and fell in the fulfillment of his duty, shot by the disapproval of a \u00be of the country (the rest is no secret that hates baseball).<\/p>\n
The truth is that Higinio has been a puppet. And now, it is said he left the Commission \u2013it is not official yet. It is said he was replaced by Heriberto Algo, who used to lead baseball in Pinar del Rio and from here on, I say, there is no other choice but to expose the fussy mistake by the character(s) in anonymity. It is also said that Higinio will just work as a federate, which is limited to getting on the ships, which are clean and comfy, and sometimes they even serve very good meals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
