Matt Bush is a violent drunk shithead who savagely bludgeoned a high schooler with a golf club and ran over an elderly motorcyclist’s head in his teammate’s car. He sucks, and I would have voted for him myself if I remembered that he existed.

If you don’t love Salvador Perez, King of Instagram, you have no soul. He is an impishly delightful cinnamon roll who is too good for this world. If/when he and Lorenzo Cain ever get traded away from each other, I might cry.

Even if for whatever reason you have no soul, you should at least love the three-time Gold Glove winner and 2015 World Series MVP for being really good at playing.

What’s to hate? Mike Trout hates fun.

LA Times posted:

"I just keep it the same," Trout said. "I don't try to show anybody up. Whatever somebody else does, that's what they do."

Trout said there is no chance he would flip his bat after a home run, even if he might try it during batting practice every now and then.

"We mess around in the cage and stuff," he said. "During the game, I just hit the ball and go.

"I go out there and try to respect the game. I go out there and play. My parents always taught me to be humble.”

Also, I confused him with Anthony Rizzo for like half a season. This isn’t really a good reason to hate him, I just feel as though it’s worth noting.

Not to pile on, but earlier this year when I went to a Jays/Red Sox game the Red Sox were announcing their scholarship winners for middle school children. It's a great program and the Red Sox should be congratulated for implementing it. However, they had all the recipients escorted onto the field by a current player. The 12-year-old girl with Pedroia was taller than he was and it still makes me giggle. It's possible we have Randy Newman downvoting Pedroia as well.

Dustin Pedroia is around 5'7". The average height of a 12-year old girl is a little under 5'. Don't get me wrong, it's still funny that she was taller than him, but as someone who was 5'6 1/2" at 11 (and stopped growing then, thank god), I just hope her peers aren't as mean about her height as mine were.

Now that I have this dating robot I can take it easy.
In that one all-star game skit, Mike Trout was so young he didn't understand how a VCR worked. This is an incredibly basic concept that even a child could figure out. I think he also asked "Film cameras? How did you take Selfies?" which doesn't make any sense. Having film in a camera doesn't preclude you from taking a picture of yourself.

He is a contemptible fool. An oaf.
