Jones reminds me of Randy Moss with those long legs. Once he gets motoring, he has another gear and he looks like he is an inch or two off the ground.

I have no problem with it. Playing like you don't give a s*** shouldn't happen. Especially if you're a rookie. It just makes you look like a douche who doesn't care whether his team wins or loses unless he's the one hitting. And by extension, it makes your team look bad.

 

I think it's hard to argue that he doesn't give a s*** with the performance he's given. Bench a guy for sucking but not for "hot dogging" or "showing a guy up"

Does anyone else hate it when players are benched for disciplinary reasons like puig was?

 

It always felt like old, uptight white guy outrage at not respecting the game.

I'm with YOTN all day on this one. f*** Puig and any other player with a punk ass attitude.

 

And BTR, what is your problem with white people? Are you going through a phase? Are you non-white? What gives?

But he wasn't benched for showing a guy up, he was benched for going into second without even the appearance of caring whether he was out or not.

I'm overwhelmingly Caucasian. I just feel like the least we can put up with us a race is a little stereotyping given the s*** we've given minorities over the years.

Wasn't it Jones that stole home against the skanks in 2007 to seal their fate and watch us win the division or am I just getting old and senile? Maybe it was Melvin Mora?

Well as the PC-ness continues to dominate in this country. No one will be benched, they'll all get WS trophies and Football will be outlawed due to concussions and the general brutality.

Was that it? I thought it was for tossing a ball into the stands with just his glove. My bad.

 

Point still stands though, people complaining about Puig showing off or what have you annoy me.

Victorino is awesome when he strolls into the batter's box to Bob Marley singing "Don't worry... about a thing. Cause every little thing... gonna be alright"

That is the other thing that happens when hitters are patient. The ump gets used to batters taking and the resulting pitch being a ball. Ultimately even when the pitcher finally puts one on the corner, it ends up being called a ball.

I don't think that's ever going to happen and I don't think PC-ness really relates to trophies in kids' sports.

I understand. We white folks are easy to make fun of. I'm an equal opportunity offender!

BTR asked who will hit the first HR, I said Ortiz. Now we wait..

 

I said Ortiz as well. I want Taylor to meet her twin.

I respect those individuals who are willing to make fun of pretty much everything

He didn't even attempt to slide on a close play at 2nd. He seemed disinterested. Grow up punk ass.
