Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Our former future franchise hitter Alex Rios having a bad day: hours after striking out five times, he's leaving a charity event, won't sign an autograph for a kid, and gets into it with a fan who tells him he's lucky anyone wants his autograph at all.

how so?

seems to me like he calls them like he sees them. rios isn’t lucky that anyone would want his autograph?

Honestly I don't think a ballplayer owes anybody an autograph.

Sure if does sign a lot of them for the fans, he’s a nice guy, but he isn’t obligated to sign them.

The fan was a bigger dick than Rios. He comes out of nowhere when he knows that Rios had a horrible day and he’s probably chewing himself out over it. If that guy is supposed to be a Jays fan, he’s doing a shitty job of supporting his team.

Status: So pissed that the Giants sold my wall of Ks to Johnsonville Sausages, that I'm boycotting purchasing anything at the park, or patronizing their sponsers.

For reals

If Pablo had that shitty of a day and refused to give an autograph, I would never call him a bum. Fuck that guy.

Players don’t owe the fans any autographs, but they should realize that if you blow off some kid who wants one, you’re gonna have to deservedly take some crap for it. Rios was the bigger jerk here, no question
