PADRES PITCHER MAT LATOS STILL BITTER TOWARDS THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

Sorry buddy. :) Click here for the full story from Yahoo! Sports.

REALLY RENTERIA?!?!

Edgar Renteria, former shortstop for the San Francisco Giants, and World Series MVP, has signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds. He is set to make up to $3 million, versus the $1 million, one-year contract the Giants offered Renteria, which he called "a total disrespect."

As a Colombian and rabid Giant's fan, I'm upset that Edgar Renteria is leaving the team. I understand that more money is more money, but Renteria is a fool to walk away from such a powerhouse. Hopes are high for another World Series win, and it's likely the Giants can make it to another post season. I'm sad that the only Colombian has left, and the once hero is now looked upon with disdain. Where is his sense of loyalty?!?! What the heck am I supposed to do with my Renteria World Series MVP T-shirt now?!?!

BRIAN "FEAR THE BEARD' WILSON TO HOST SNL???

Brian Wilson did such a kick-ass job on "Jay Leno" that fans want him to host "Saturday Night Live!!!"



Two pages on Facebook prove thousands of fans want people to "fear the beard" on SNL. An earlier campaign got Betty White the hosting gig, and the faithful fans of the San Francisco Giants want just the same for Wilson. Do you agree? Then click on the links below to "like" the cause!!!

GIANTS SIGN COLOMBIAN EDGAR RENTERIA!!!

I'm so stoked that the Giants have signed Colombiano Edgar Renteria to a two-year, $18.5 million contract!!! I was bummed that of all three South Americans on the team--Vizquel, Sandoval, and Ochoa (all from Venezuela)--none were from Colombia. Renteria is the first Colombian to play in the World Series, winning it for the Marlins in 1997!!! Now here's hoping that he has a great first season with the Giants!!!
