I don't think I've read anything on Banter more off base than this submission. [3] We disagree on the relevance of the event, but to label Kay’s attitude ethnocentric is very irresponsible.

If Yadier and others hold playing for their country in higher regard than playing for MLB or in the World Series, then so be it. WW's reference to Endy Chavez's quote satisfies any "confusion" I might have on this matter. Which I don't. Ah, just a couple more weeks. Calculus and Wall street confuse me.

If that makes me ethnocentric, so be it. The WBC managed to entertain me this year inasmuch as it fill up the gap between the end of football season and the start of the MLB regular season. Otherwise, I can't wait for it--and attendant non-stores like this--to go away as fast as possible.

It says above that Michael Kay lauds the enthusiasm of the Latin players, then has a quote where he dismisses it. So he gave a thumbs up .... then a thumbs down? The story contains nothing about this contradiction. What was the original instance where Kay lauded their enthusiasm and seriousness? I get that he is dismissive about Molina's quote. I just don't get the other part. I used to get high marks in reading comprehension but I don’t quite get this.
