    Diehard Cardinal fan here. "Best Fans in Baseball" is a crock. Most real Cardinal fans I know make fun of Pollyannas who believe that nonsense. Cardinal fans support the team but "real fans" realize that our collective shit DOES in fact stink.

    My "redass" from this game comes from the way my 97-win baseball team dogged it in a game where they had a chance to step on the throat of an opponent in a best-of-7 series. They lollygagged in the outfield. They lollygagged on the bases. (And yes, I know what that makes them.) After a performance like that, they want to bitch about Puig and Gonzalez? I don't think so. Fucking beat them, boys! Hit better than .134 in the series and you won't see much preening from them.

    For the record, I have no problem with what Gonzalez did. Guys celebrate after big hits all the time. Matt Carpenter about lost it in his pants after he tripled off Kershaw in Game 2, so to whine about Gonzalez is damn hypocritical. Puig's showboating is the epitome of douchebaggery -- three great months doesn't give him enough street cred to display that level of hotdogging. And I'm not going to buy all this crap about him "adjusting to a new culture." Guys come from Cuba and Latin America all the time to play in the bigs and don't play like that. But bitching in the papers makes Wainwright and Beltran look petty and small. I expected more from them than that. Keep Puig at an 0-for-10 with 6Ks if you don't want him to showboat, because obviously nobody with the Dodgers is willing to step up and tell him his act doesn't fly.

    Here you go YF, that'll get you started. I'll send you more after I see all those updated with your outrage.

    Good God you are dense. Did you look at the results?

    Nearly all of them were because Beef has this quote in his signature: “This just proves what a nation of pussies we are.” -- Don Cherry on news that Canada's murder rate is at its lowest since the 1960s.

    So, it was a quote, not an instance of it being used by a member as a putdown. And, because it's in his signature, it shows up again and again.

    But, then, you're the guy who has called people here racist for typing the word "nigger", even though they were quoting someone else, so you clearly don't get it.


    Color me shocked.

    Actually a lot of those were not quotes.

    21 said "The DL is for pussies"

    Zag used it, Gator used it, Sonner used it, Boom used it, TSP used it, ACQb used it, YGBFKM used it, Petty used it, not just in quotes.

    Make sure you point it out to all of them.

    As far as the nothing to do thing, I am on vacation taking care of my gramma. She's 90 and asked me to use my vacation to come back and help her get around while my mom is overseas. You wanna attack me for that also?

    No you fucking moron, that was Chris Brown.

    Not all black people are the same.

    Nice try though, dipshit.

    So Puig flipped his bat, he did still get a triple, he still drove in a key run, he still hustled on the basepaths. What about the guys who flip the bat, stare, and end up with a ringing single of the wall? I am far from a Dodger fan/apologist but jeez, I'll take Puig's theatrics over the taunting in your face, showboating you see in the NFL.

    As for the Cards, I cannot stand their holier than thou stance, sure St.L is a great scene, but since "he who shall not be named" got there, they have been the self-anointed keepers of "the book." So there's some celebrating, as Jim Rome says, "scoreboard." Don't want them celebrating (in their own park no less, down 2-0), then get them out.

    As a Giants fan, its painful to even root for the Dodgers, but man the Cards make it that much easier.

    Puig can piss all over home plate for all I care, while announcing that Stan Musial was a pinko commie.

    But after the play is over.
