Puig Arrested

[Troll Daddy]

I have a 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S for sale if anybody is interested. ... don't buy it if you don't plan on driving it over the speed limit.

[Inside Pitch]

Pretty interesting, the Cuban exile community is tearing into Puig pretty hard locally -- not because he got a ticket for 110 but because of how he treated the police officer who by all accounts treated Puig respectfully.   Lot's of people saying he's being a boorish asshole simply because of the rights afforded to him in the US and how he never would have acted like a petulant little bitch in Cuba because he would have had his ass handed to him in jail.

 

Nice to see people call him out on his lack of respect for the cop.

didn't know he was being a disrespectful prick. Now I know why he was arrested.

 

**** him.

[mtangelsfan]

Yeah, he threw the ticket and his liscence at the cop.

[Taylor]

Yeah, he threw the ticket and his liscence at the cop.

 

Pssh, who hasn't done that?

[mtangelsfan]

Well, I'm sure TD has.

[Brandon]

yeah, I dislike puig as much as everyone on here, but my two cents on this is that he's acting like a lot of 22 year olds. Especially ones with money.

Not at all condoning it. And I agree the potential to have hurt others is very real. Maybe I was just a bit let down by the title and what it was I guess. I was hoping he got caught up in the eddie murphy sting so I could forward the story to my dodger fan buddies.

Yeah, I was the same way and did knucklehead shit back then.

Since we are telling war stories:

Got a car up to 150 or 151 going to Vegas. Got a streetbike up to 167 or 187 coming up from San Diego.

The Vegas one was stupid and I pretty much drove that speed the whole way and almost made it to Vegas in an hour. The bike was just a straight away "let's see the maxit can do" quick thing.

You're trying too hard.  I don't doubt the cops.  

 

 

Look up hypocrisy while you're at it.

Fail indeed.  As usual you're being dense...   

 

You chose to TRY to imply I doubted the cops -- I pointed out how I was using the word in the context of the sentence.   You can post whatever definitions you want but it still won't change that it's not how I used it.   Better luck trying to contort what was said next time, Troll.

 

I know you got your panties in a bunch discussing Kendrick, but get over it.

I drive a Jeep. I am not even sure I could do 90.

[Hollyw00d]

Jeep owners are happy if their car has doors.

[Hollyw00d]

Fastest I've ever gone was in my little 4 banger Toyota Tacoma. 105. It was pretty sketchy..that thing really got pushed around by the wind since its so light

[Sully151]

Actually, we are happier when they don't

[Hollyw00d]

what a douchenozzle.

"how dare you apply laws to me!"

[Docwaukee]

Puig is just getting lucky at this point.  He's fortunate that his wrecklessness has only resulted in a couple of minor arrests and he hasn't harmed anyone yet.  This could end badly if his pattern doesn't change. 

 

The real kicker is his response to being caught.  When you get pulled over for doing 110, you put your hat in your hand and try to stay out of jail. 

 

He's setting himself up for a big time fall. 

[eaterfan]

Puig does have the superior arm to Trout.

 

or 

 

Maybe he just overthrew the cutoff man.

Lol at the Puig attacks. Dude was on a highway out in the middle of no where. No different than speeding on the 10 heading to AZ or 15 to Vegas. Not a big deal at all. He wasn't drinking or on drugs. Let it go

 

Yeah but he is pretty arrogant outside of his baseball blunders and speeding tickets. But really you're missing the biggest factor here. He's an LA Dodger.

I would have pictured you as a monster truck guy, tank. Truckasaurus maybe.

Wait.....do you drive over the porsches?

Someone said he got arrested for throwing his license over the cops head... I literally thought that was a joke about his over aggressive arm & missing the cutoff man. lol

exactly.

If its true puig tossed his license, then yes, I'm all for 'full service'.

'Stopped you for speed, but I also notice (fill in the blank)'. Can afford the ticket? Cool, well, being that this is a misdemeanor, just to be a dick I'm going to book you before writing the ticket. Gonna tow the car. might even take time to be thorough and run you for out of state warrants. That might take a bit.'

[VariousCrap]

I said it not long after Puig came up last year and the rumors of opposing teams and even some on his own team having a problem with his personality:  The guy's career will be like Milton Bradley or Jose Guillen.  He has tons of talent, but he will waste it all with his attitude problem.

[VariousCrap]

To get busted once for speeding like this is one thing, for it to happen a second time within a year?  The dude is a douchebag.

 

Also, there is no way Puig is 22 years old.  He is at least 5 years older than that.

[Tank]

Wait.....do you drive over the porsches?

Only when Laura Diaz and I are out for a cruise.

[mtangelsfan]

eesh.  I can't stand the Dodgers and I am not a fan of the way Puig plays.  But dang, Bradley and Guillen?

 

Lets wait a couple of years before we start comparing him to those kind of guys.  This was his first season and he just got here from a different country with a completely different culture.
