This deserves some love.

The only surprise was that he didn't dive in head first.mauidano said:It's all Punto's fault. He was the first one in!

You'd rather be kicked out of your $500 behind-home-plate seats, from which you could see your favorite team clinch the playoffs, maybe get an autograph or sprayed with champagne... than change your shirt? Because that was basically the choice offered to them. Right or wrong, you're not winning a fight with security.
Everything that ever goes wrong anywhere is Punto's fault.mauidano said:It's all Punto's fault. He was the first one in!
So considering its their rule, shouldn't the onus be on the management to relocate you to, say, a private box or something to make up for the fact that they were more than willing to sell the tickets to a rival's fans but not willing to let them sit there wearing their teams attire? I wouldn't change, I'd want equal or better seats (and it would be hard to find better seats than right behind the plate).Bosoxen said:This is exactly how I feel - the fact that it wasn't the clinching game, notwithstanding. If a more reasonable alternative were presented, such as neutral clothing, then I might acquiesce. But I'll be fucking damned if I agree to wear a rival's colors because their owner is a nitpicking twat.
Uhhh...ok, pretty odd thing to say when Dodger Stadium is widely considered a ballpark masterpiece while Bank One Ballpark is widely considered an airplane hangar that they happen to play baseball in.m0ckduck said:I enjoyed this part:
It's like Steinbrenner's awesome ""We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed..." quote, except the pissant, muzak version of it.

Game time is coming soon.
Diamondbacks and Dodgers.
It's time for the Dodgers to pay their debt. Plunk Puig!
I'm not advocating violence. There's no way any pitcher should ever go after someone's head. In baseball, not plunking says, "walk over me." Everyone knows it's coming. Therefore, let's finish it now.
Waiting until the regular season just risks lengthier suspensions. Plunking Puig in Australia would make it more difficult to replace those suspended because you're not traveling with your whole minor league system behind you.
Plunking Puig today at Salt River Field declares the Diamondbacks will not back down. Waiting around is like sneaking behind someone's back. Be a man. Take the punishment. Move on. First, however, the Dodgers must pay their debt.
Play ball!
