CUBS @ PIRATES 10/7

Don Tiny · **Posted:** Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:48 am

Sean Rodriguez is an angry little girl with a history of being Tommy Toughguy with inanimate objects.

http://www.raysindex.com/2012/09/the-story-of-how-sean-rodriguez-broke-his-hand-just-got-better-and-much-much-worse.html

Last week we learned that Sean Rodriguez had punched a locker during a verbal confrontation with a teammate on the Durham Bulls. The result was a broken right hand, a trip to the DL, and possibly the end of his season.

And now Marc Topkin has shed some more light on just what happened and who the confrontation was with (a current Rays teammate) and if things are cool now (they are most certainly not). Take it away Marc (TampaBay.com)…

-- Sean Rodriguez admitted that the frustration that led him to breaking his right hand at Triple-A Durham was the result of what he considered disrespectful actions by Dane De La Rosa…The two are again teammates with the Rays, with De La Rosa called up Wednesday. Rodriguez said there “definitely” are still issues, but he will be professional about it and not create any disturbances in the clubhouse…”I’m trying to avoid him as much as possible.” --

Ahh yes. It all makes perfect sense now. Hot Rod punched a locker and broke his hand because he was disrespected *head hits desk*. Soooo, what did De La Rosa say? He must have called Rodriguez’ mom a whore or something like that, right? I mean, that would probably piss off a lot of guys. And it would be a good reason to still be steaming two weeks later.

Marc?

-- Rodriguez would not get into specifics over what led him to punch a locker after the Aug. 26 game, except to say it was how De La Rosa reacted when Rodriguez said something about the song being played in the (winning) clubhouse. --

And the hits just keep onnnnnn comin’! So Rodriguez didn’t like the song being played. He said something. And De La Rosa didn’t bow down and respect the opinion of the seasoned Major League veteran and his sense of entitlement.

Go onnnnn…

-- “How do you disrespect somebody without touching them? You say things or talk in a manner that’s very disrespectful,” Rodriguez said. “In a baseball clubhouse people do that all the time. But when you turn to ask somebody, ‘Are you being serious right now?’ the way someone’s tone is, the way they’re talking to you and they either just smirk or ignore you leads you to believe one or the other, right? --

Wait. Let’s see if I am following this correctly: Bulls win game thanks in large part to Rodriguez hitting a home run > Music is being played in the clubhouse > Rodriguez hears it > It is One Direction and not Justin Bieber so Rodriguez gets upset > Rodriguez says something about Directioners being jealous of Beliebers > De La Rosa says something that players say in the clubhouse “all the time” > Rodriguez asks if De La Rosa is serious > De La Rosa ignores Rodriguez, possibly sensing he is upset and not wanting to escalate such an idiotic argument > Rodriguez punches locker.

Oh, well why didn’t he say so in the first place. That seems understandable *head hits desk again*.

But I suppose we can appreciate that things didn’t get worse considering how disrespectful things got. Sean?

-- “So instead of me normally doing what I normally would have done in the past, which is basically just to go and do a lot of things to him, I tried to exert my energy and frustration elsewhere to try to let it go. Bad job of trying to deal with it.” --

Ahhh, Rodriguez, in an effort to pile more maturity on top of the rest of this mature situation wants us to know that he would have totally kicked De La Rosa’s ass. Because he’s totally kicked ass before. Lots of times. Because he is a baddddd man.

What a flaming pudwhack.

Maybe I'll go post on the Cleveland Sports Fan Message Board

There is a ton of pent up frustration from Cubs fans. As if it's not enough that none of us have seen a championship in our lifetime, but we have to endure constant trolling.

The Plan sucks because why would any team purposely lose for three years.
What kind of team drafts Schwarber early to draft an injured pitcher several rounds later?
What if the Cubs miss the playoffs by one game because they want an extra year of control with Bryant.

There is a simple satisfaction for me in that I had faith in this regime, and it is bearing fruit. I hope this is just beginning. If nothing else, 2015 has been very memorable. I don't need to spike the football at the White Sox fans around here, but I can certainly see why some would want to.

Thank you.

I hope for four more weeks of primarily great play.

Can you guys kick Scooter and ChicagoEd out of Cubbie Nation?

We do need a gathering of Cub fan higher ups to address some issues that need addressing.

I have no idea what that means ...

Frank Coztansa · **Posted:** Thu Oct 08, 2015 9:43 am

That is giving them too much credit. The Ligue's are at least humnas, albeit bad ones.

Scooter and Ed and the like are mongrels.

Hi guys that wear Sox hats that really just mean they obsess over the Cubs.
Gonna be a rough decade for ya.

That it is....Tip of the iceberg.

Look at that! A couple Cub fans counting the multiple championships they always deny they are counting. :lol:

This is the sad thing. There have been Cub teams I've really hated. Like any one with Mark Prior on it. But this team seems pretty likable. They're not a bunch of guys I want to root against. But shit like this can't help but make me hope it happens in the most painful way.

I just ignore that kind of stuff. I think even reacting to it is giving it way too much attention. Its like a Sox fan who makes gay jokes and says the Cubs are cursed.

David Haugh, unbiased writer for the Tribune covering the game took time out of his analysis this morning with Mully and Hanley talking about Sox fans.

Aren't the Ligues rumored to be Cubs fans?

...or do I have them confused with JORR and Bernstein.

You're confusing the Ligues with the goof that tried to tackle Laz Diaz. Eric Dybas is a Cubs fan.

The Ligues pulled a Double header and were at Wrigley earlier in the day, so Sox fans quite understandably try to put them on the Cubs, but we arent having it. We already have a toothless drug addict fan WOOOOOO

Don Tiny · **Posted:** Thu Oct 08, 2015 10:21 am

Oh, the crackers that beat up the Royals' 1B coach years ago?

:lol:

I thought it was some fruity soccer reference or something ...

The Bernstein Corollary means they are Cubs fans, even if they swear allegiance to the White Sox.

No, that's that Dybas guy. You're mixing up the incidents too. They both occurred vs. the Royals. The Ligues are all ours. We have to own them.

Thanks.

In that case, yes, Scooter and ChicagoEd are the cubbie version of the Ligues.

My mistake.

I think dolphin (among others) have advanced the Ligues at Wrigely earlier that day theory

Now that years of MULTIPLE playoffs runs are obvious (make the playoffs and see what happens Multiple police Sgt Joe) the Cubs stalkers posts and re-calibrations of what should make Cubs fans happy is hilarious.
The classifying of whom and what they are / were really talking about is very Bernsteininan.
If the facts change against your argument - change the finish line.
I TOTALLY agree that this Sox vs Cubs thing is very old and lame...notice how much time I spend over there....look it up.
This is the CUBS section right?

You've already lost no matter how often you change your stance.
