THIS WEEK IN HATE: (by) YAHOO! SPORTS

Going to phone this one in ya'll. No need to do much heavy lifting this week, Friar Faithful laid into the deserving Padres in the last post, and Yahoo! Sports took a couple jabs at the boys as well this past week. So I'll just recap. This is not a hate of Y!Sports, I actually enjoy the site frequently and they seem consistently unbiased. Unfortunately (fortunately?) the staff over at Y! have provided multiple instances of Padres-dissing recently, so I'll let them take over hate responsibilities.

Example numero uno: I clicked on THIS link to watch some KC reporter getting dinged on purpose, because it's my day off and that's how I choose to live my life...and then my JVPadres got hate-smacked by some dude out of no where! You can watch, or just read the quote below:

"Here's a question: if (the reporter) Judge had no intention of swinging why did he even hold a bat? I guess you could ask the same question to everyone in the Padres lineup this season. That's right, Pirates, you're off the hook this year."

(with a cut to this picture)

Giggle, m*****f***king giggle, Yahoo!.

More after the jump.

Example 2:  In THIS article from a few days ago Y! includes the quote about the Padres, "That’s no typo: a major league team at .216." Your face is a typo, friend.

This isn't quite a case of the your run-of-the-mill Haters Gonna Hate because when our team bats like a joke, we need to be able to take a joke. So haha, I laugh at your humor, fellow gentleman. On the brighter side of the ribbings, the latter article detailed a Padres BATTING prospect who is finally in the top 3 in baseball. A prospect who happens to be hitting a 'cooled down' .397, and thus I still find reason to smile and keep that faith amidst the waves of hate.
