Dealerships haven't kept up with the consumer-base having as much information as they do, and if you think about it, it's another example of pre- and post-Internet worlds colliding. We as consumers are generally treated like idiots and cattle when we go to a dealership. Any numbers we produce are immediately scoffed…

Where the hell is this Cardinals crap coming from? Is there something in my username that says I'm a Cardinals fan? (hint, I'm not — not at all, in fact I think LaRussa's a dick and a very lucky manager)
Cool story, bro.
Why are you telling me to fuck off when...
Yes, laws of our society. There are laws that aim to prevent reckless driving so that innocent/unsuspecting people don't get severely injured or die. Puig broke that law, twice. Or would you prefer we just get that law off the books so Puig can drive freely?
You're right, but you have to agree that our society has changed significantly since even the days of Mantle. Hell, it's even changed since the days of Albert Belle and Jose Canseco (as a player). More specifically, we know a lot more about what happens when it happens and instead of bitching at my wife in our…
My point was that Puig gets negative attention because a) he's an immature shithead and b) he takes more risks than the average player — without an overwhelming success rate. He's a sportswriter's magnet because oftentimes the stories write themselves.
I read Plaschke's column as clumsily saying even when he's good, he still has a lot to work on. It's fair criticism. This article does a much better job of making the point.
Troll.
Yeah, I did. Tell me specifically where he "[made] up a story up out of thin air."
How do you know it's made up?
Well, to be fair, most baseball players seem to be able to behave mostly normal.
Multiple arrests for reckless driving (going 97 and 110 MPH), not speeding. Speeding tickets don't get you arrested.
Puig is a great player, no doubt. But all evidence points to him being an immature shithead who just can't seem to follow the team rules or the laws of our society. That's why he gets the attention, and deservedly so.
Seeing the canyon-sized disparity with the Seattle Mariners makes me wince. If you add the top 2 salaries, they're more than the rest of the team combined. With the clubhouse magic they've put together out there, I wonder if they'll eclipse 40 wins.
Jesus Christ, it's not even lunchtime on Monday and I already hate myself for being white. Thanks Kyle.
My goodness. Eight of the eleven suited-up players scored in double figures. Of the remaining three, two players scored none. 142 points in 48 minutes. Ridiculous.
Oh my God, I can already hear the commentators ALL. FUCKING. SEASON. Here's week 11:
Sorry, but because you ranked Whoopi Goldberg above anyone, this list is suspect. She's easily one of the most overhyped, overrated Hollywood performers alive. Absolutely, positively, without question, one of the least funny people alive. She actually takes the subjectivity out of quality of humor — transcendent,…
