apologies if that mistake offended you too.
WTF LOL no man I am not offended in anyway possible, brother
I was just pointing out the mistake and Im sure you would do the same if I made a similar mistake without any offended feelings, seriously, lol.
it's easy to slip as names like Wei Yin Chen sounds perfectly chinese, an honest mistake there. it's only because I've been watching some South Korean playoffs ( LG Twins beat out the newly expansion team Dinos for the next round and is at the brink of elimination against my birthplace team, the Nexen Heroes ) and the Japan Series just ended with a dramatic sweep (4-1) after losing the first game against the Hanshin Tigers, by the hands of SoftBank Hawks. there were a ton of drama in this year's Japan Series because the Hawks' clean up hitter just had signed a new deal to move away from the Orix Buffalos whom the Hawks had to fight off in Pacific League championship, and the closer for the Tigers is a South Korean import who just set the central league's save record by a first year foreign player as well as leading the central league's save record this year. what a show down it was.
for me, being a fan of Haitai Tigers of South Korea (today's Kia Tigers) growing up plus the newly expanded team from my birth place, the Nexen Heroes from the district of YangChun of the Seoul City(South Korean league), and Japan's Hanshin Tigers, and Junichi Dragons (lately changed the pronunciation to Chunichi Dragons, which i hate because its not the same as Tom Sellick's movie, the Mister Baseball) it was a big deal to have both Heroes and the Hanshin Tigers make it to their respective playoffs and into the Championship in case of the Hanshin... broke my heart three times this year now that the Dodgers lost, Tigers lost, and the KC whom i was pulling so hard for lost to the hated Giants.
BTW, for whatever the reason, I hate the giants in all three leagues. the San Francisco Giants of course, from the MLB, and the Yomiuri Giants of Japan, and those damn Lotte Giants of South Korea. **** them all.
PS - i even hate the Gigantes from the winter league in Dominican Republic, lol **** them too.

We're going to revisit this Paul DePodesta topic though. Because I find it funny he was run out of town, replaced by a bum and now we're back trying to implement strategies/ analytics he would have implemented over the last 10 years.
if we stuck by DePo and had him construct the team as he envisioned, guess what, we would have the outfield right now of Jayson Werth - Yasiel Puig - Matt Kemp.
who knows what would have happened in terms of the roster and the pitching staff, but Kershaw was ours from the get go, Ryu was signed by Logan White, and Greinke would still have been a free agent and probably signed in the same situation with a different GM. DePo would have never have traded for the poisoned package of Gonzo+Crawford+Beckett so we won't have them and would not have signed Ethier to that ridiculous deal so no Andre either. SVS would have been our starting 1B for the last two years, leading the team in fewest at bats per HR, and there won't be any idiotic SF biased signing of Wilson or any idiotic declining yet former closer signings of League and Perez.
back in the day, I ran a block that was glorifying DePo, but obviously short lived due to his time as our GM. long live SABR!!!!!!!!
ehhhhh f it.
