Can't really blame Thornton... Anderson hit that neck high. Dye should have made that catch. GOD is he slow. Looks like he has buckets of cement tied to his ankles.
I go to Colombia twice a year. I have relatives there. The article is correct in that most people only know of Renteria when it comes to Colombian baseball players. OC isn't that well known there. I'm not sure why, just the way it is. Baseball in general isn't popular unless you are in lower class areas in Cartagena or Barranquilla. I'm proud of both countrymen for accomplishing great things here in the Majors. But you have to realize they come from poverty stricken backgrounds and have little education. They sign these huge Multi million dollar contracts and they give money to their brothers/sister/cousins/friends, people that have never had much money in their lives, and they don't exactly make good choices on how to spend,invest, or run business once they have all these american dollars. Those baseball leagues and schools aren't very legit. They easily turn into feuding between ownership, with lots of Mob-like activity.

I absolutely hate Wang. I hope we pound the Yanks all three games. To go along with some good pitching and just dominate them. I wonder how ESPN will react.
If the Yankees had young pitchers who performed the way Danks and Floyd have this early in the season, ESPN would be going ballistic on "best rotation in baseball" "strongest core for the next 3 years" "How great is the Yankee farm system" and any other crap they can pull out of their Yankee/Red Sox filled assholes.
Great win today

Thome, DH
Konerko, 1b
Crede, 3b
Quentin, LF

I'd like to see Anderson in CF then Ramirez at 2B. Ozzie really has something against BA.
