    Jeff Kent hated anyone who was happy. He was a Civil War picture personified.

    Completely agree. CK is a pro and will continue to pitch as such. People who only live for this talk out of their asses too much are the ones who say otherwise.

    Kent was a miserable ass. Even in SF, they hated him, and that team had Barry Bonds on it.

    Even Bonds shook his head at his antics and just left him alone.
    On his first day as a giant Kent refused to be humble and sat in Bonds seat on the bus.
    When Bonds came in he was like yo you in my seat.
    Kent was all i was here first and they got into an argument.
    Kent was all Rosa Parka that day and said im not going to the back of the bus you go to the back.
    Bonds went the back and played cards with the new guys instead of giving Kent what he wanted which was a confrontation.
    Kent then ended up in front but by himself for the rest of his career.
    Worst personality of any dude ive seen play. Great hitter who had the best hitter as his protection for a long time.
    But a classless POS like Will Clark and a number of those racist giants.

    Yeah, Will the Thrill...Kershaw's idol, right?
    It really, actually, in your opinion, was Bond's seat on the bus...like Kent should have gotten up and relinquished it for Bonds?
    Are you kidding?
    Wow...must be a black guys named Barry king thing.
    In some way, I find that more fucked up than the point you're making about Kent in your story.

    I was listening to Casey Fucking Stern on the way to Pinehurst this morning, and he was droning on and on about how he couldn't understand what Ruiz was doing starting that game Friday. I was screaming at the radio, "he was picked up to hit lefties, idiot. The Dodgers SUCK against lefties, there was a lefty on the mound, Ruiz was on base 3 fucking times,...WHAT DON'T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND???" All that asshat could say was "Grandal would have caught that ball, Ellis would have caught that ball..."

    Honestly, Casey Stern makes my asshole want to drink a Coca-Cola.

    Disturbing. I suggest you stop listening to Casey Stern.

    Happy for him. Maybe he got too comfortable being a Dodger.

    Puig might be a similar story.

    I like Will Clark as a kid too.
    And Eric Davis and Daryl Strawberry.
    Back then we didnt know/care about their off the field life or character.

    But about that bus story. Yeah i know how it looks and I agree with you that Kent had every right to the front seat as the next guy.
    The thing is that Bonds was the best player in the world at the time. And he always sat in that seat. Baseball is not real life, and in baseball dudes respect things like that. Bonds our best player always sits there and all the other players on the team leave him the seat.
    The issue with Kent was that he was brand new to the team and came in with the attitude that he was bigger than the team.
    Barry Bonds was the team.
    If Kershaw always sat in the front seat of the Dodgers bus in order to talk to the coach and Puig came in as a rookie and sat there and refused to get up when Kershaw said it was his seat who would look bad?
    Not Kershaw. We would all be here saying "who does Puig think he is, what a primadonna".
    Jeff Kent was brand new to the Giants and wanted to impose his will on the team, the clubhouse vibe, etc...
    He did the same thing here and everyone HATED it.
    James Loney is as meek as they come and when someone in the media said that Kent was the leader of the team he made a point of saying '"Jeff Kent is NOT our leader".
    The dude would turn his back on the clubhouse literally because he didnt want to see the young hispanic and black guys on the team having fun.
    What i am shocked is that it is a secret to yall that Jeff Kent was a racist. He was constantly being a dick to non white players in the clubhouse and in the media.
    And whats worse than being a racist is that he talked shit about Vin Scully for talking too much.
    Fuck Jeff Kent.
    I hope Barry Bonds becomes a HOF before he does.

    Jeff Kent will not be in the Hall, imo...he is viewed as a fringe HOF, sort of like Gonzo will be, so I say no, but I think he should be. His hitting as a 2b was break through for his time.
    As far as Bonds, I don't wish him dead, but let's say chronic/acute hemmorroids for the rest of his life. And continued shrunken genitalia, as his mistress publically commented he eventually had from from his abuse.
    Fuck Bonds forever.
    May he never ever go in...
