First off I'm psyched about the Sox. Second, I disown BH Kim. Just like Gagne in game 2 of this series, when the Korean National team put in BH Kim in the semifinals against Japan, I knew Korea had lost. I don't blame Japan or Ichiro (honestly I find Ichiro's bizarre comments entertaining), I blame the coach for putting in a choker like BH Kim. I'd like us Koreans to not equate rooting against Japan as pro-Korean. Are we that unable to move on? Must we be so outspoken during World Cups to openly root against Japan when they're not playing Korea? I’m a Red Sox fan and Korean-American. First off I’m psyched about the Sox.

He helped get them to the World Series which goes to show he may be worth it but we'll see if he is still worth that much money when Boston plays my home state team the Rockies who are 25th in the league in regards to payroll.

There were about 7 Korean players in 2003. Now, there is just 1 today, BK Kim, who is awful. Koreans in MLB are a big disappointment. There were about 7 Korean players in 2003.
