    He's not our best right fielder. We've apparently (according to Darth) assembled the greatest baseball minds in our front office. Pass the fucking note to Roberts, Kendrick LF Thompson RF. Put this fucking bum on the bench, or if you still see potential, send him to AAA. So fucking sick of this bum.

    Funny how he is doing better than turner and grandal yet there is not this virulent hate for either of them

    Really? You need to read more posts instead of fixating on your boyfriends name so much. Ginge and Useless are getting shit on more than this Puig sideshow. It's what he is, a sideshow.

    Boyfriend?
    Yall been very homo loving lately with your insults.
    Anyhow what is said about the others is not even close than whats beem said aboit puig. This has been year long hate. Someone just recently mentioned trading or sensing turner down. All the turner talk has been centered on the fact he bats 3rd and should not be dropled in the order.
    Grandal people cant hate no matter how he sucks. Basically folks have to resort to try and hate on him by saying that he is not very good at baseball.
    Puigs detractors have wanted him banished for a while now.
    Not merely demoted down in the lineup or benched more often.
    The vitriol and intensity of the verbiage does not compare.

    Some facts.
    All 3 have previously played well.
    All 3 have gone through recent injury and or surgery.
    All 3 have a special defensive trait.
    Puig has killer arm and bats right.
    Grandal frames pitches really well.
    Turner has tons of versatility in the field.
    Which is probably why they still around.

    And the meek shall inherit the earth.
    We should turn the hate around into love and smarmy confidence, and be content watching Puig, Turner and le Grande Framer get one hit a week each.
    That's entertainment!
    The right gig will come along.
    It's the right thing to do.

    I love the up side of Puig. (If he can ever pull his head out of his ass) The upside is enormous "IF"...

    OTOH when he goes 0-5 and sees a grand total of 11 pitches through the 5 AB's then I think he should be benched. Or sent to AA to practice actually hitting the ball again.

    I do NOT want to trade him because the Nerds / NedCo would give him away for 3 beans, none with live arms, and he'd join the SFags and hit .340 again just as sure as I'm sitting here.

    This is obvious.
    To all but folks that seethe everytime they see hear read or think the name puig.
    Every church needs a scapegoat to crucify though.

    hardly a scapegoat
    late on average fastballs
    still chases pitches out of the zone
    and his bat flips/posturing has grown old
    the crucifixion is well deserved
    but he can change all of that
    and therein lies the problem...
    does he care to get better, or is he content to be a pseudo-star of what he once [briefly] was?
    show you care, get better, and the critics will again applaud him
    until then he should get ripped
    the king is dead, long live the king

    Wow...crucifixion? Who knew?
    And here I thought it was a ballplayer who hasn't hit in the last year and a half or so...and as fans do, want a different bum out there to see if he's any better? Y' know...baseball as usual...
    So they complain about him...is it that unusual we have to do the "church/crucify" thing?
    What's worse? A fan who complains about a guy who doesn't hit any more, or the one who loves him and elevates him to a Christ- like level when fans do whine about him?

    nobody is elevating him to anything
    its a figure of speech
    i have no care for puig either way, hes just another struggling player like grandal or turner or any number of guys
    yall take this stuff religiously
    as in way too serious
    like religionists and fundies take the gospel... fanaticism at its best
    so you take a figure of speech and turn it into capital C christ affair.
    scapegoat is also a figure of speech
    and like most good poetic speech it comes from the classic recompilation of ancient truths known as the bible
    please dont confuse my pointing out how yall talk about one guy compared to others with the fetishism you guys display
    i dont think ive defended puig at all
    never said i like him as a player or want him on the team
    but any slight deviation from the line of puig is the worst player on the team and should be released or traded is considered heresy

    btw, by church i meant yall
    as in the church of dodgers fanatics who hate puig more than other equally bad performers

    If you don't mean it that way, then why write it that way? I wasn't the only one who "misinterpreted" it.
    It's just a bit confusing when someone writes about things their own way, you feel it is OK to make a " what's worse" response judgement, but when it comes back to you, it's not what you meant.
    You like to dish it out...advice, criticism, judgement, suggestions. All the time.
    So what if lots of people can't stand Puig?
    Posters are supposed to consider scripture now when you post? The bible? A book of ancient stories?
    It's a baseball website.
    Fanaticism you say...you mean derivation of the word fan?
    Oh, and BTW, of course you've defended Puig... vehemently, many times. And that's fine.
    Unless me and several others can't grasp the deeper theologic meaning.

    Dude you cry like someone pissed in your cheerios everyday.
    Go ahead and cry.
    Nobody says you cant.
    I dont throw a fit like you do on the daily about one thing or the other.
    I dont like it but i never tell you to change or stop.
    I do have the right to express my views.
    And they are sometimes contrary to yours and other times not.
    You the only one that gets bent out of shape about it.
    If i have an opinion you dont like you feel oppressed. Thats weird.
    Not the first time. You been like this forever.
    Go ahead and call me an asshole judgy blowhard whatever you wish.
    You done way worse before and im always kind to you and tell you its all no biggie.
    If you truly dislike my rhetoric amd feel i am too judgemental or a boorish asshole with my long posts then dont read them. They arent for you. They are for me. And you can choose to ignore them if you wish.
    If my views piss you off and you cant stand to see them on this site then you are welcome to dust off your sandles and go somewhere else.
    As far as dishing stuff out and taking it... People give me shit all the time.
    Ive had to listen to personal attacks and ridicule on here for years. I have the skin of an elephant man. Ive also beem around folks with alzheimers all my life that will cuss you out at the drop of a hat because they are stuck in a mental prison and are trapped. Nothing you can say to me will break me or my spirit of not wanting to dress somebody down or chuck words in anger.
    Nothing you can do will get me to call you any of the things that come out your mouth in your petty fights you have with strangers on the internet over sweet nothings.
    But seriously if you have so much angst built up over my posts or my opinions and hate it so much... Leave.
    You a grown ass man.
    Leave the bickering for the teenagers. I have way more patience for the youth (cue irish).
    I can try to work with them to help them relax with this kind of thing.
    Old dudes likd you and codge that want to bicker all the time... you just gotta let em be.
    And case you accuse me of being vague blue for the record this is the third time in this post that i welcome you to leave.
    Now try to remember the last time i invited someone to leave... Try.
    Or stay.
    Do what makes you happy.

    You're just not as smart as you fancy yourself ,Rube. Just not.
    And remember one thing, at least I've made an attempt to understand your shit. Most people here don't even try or care about your self imposed history lessons...at least I have. Most have just no idea. At least I've tried.
    Your post above is full of what I should do, or shouldn't do, to leave, etc....full of it, as you are yourself. But when you are asked about it, you just get more from you of how people should be...like you, I guess.
    OK Rube , I'll consider your suggestions.
