A couple of weeks ago, fellow Dugouteer Nick got a chance to write about Pedro Martinez and his involvement with cockfighting, which is like just like the UFC, except the participants don't have free will and there's no sense of pride and competition clouding up the bloodshed and gut-spilling. Also, they have knives. So it's like Tank Abbott in the UFC if you've stolen his leather jacket.Anyway, Nick usually gets the good Dugout topics. He got to write about Barry Bonds dressing like Paula Abdul. But thankfully, Aramis Ramirez's stance of YEAH I LIKE TO FIGHT COCKS YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT has given me enough of an excuse to do my own take on the story.
Oh, if you don't get his screen name, his name is pronounced "a-ROM-iss." Today: Fighting Death Birds! after the jump.

ReadOnlyMemory: I'm not doing this with you unless you're taking it seriously. We're in the Dominican Republic. I am wholly dedicated to the roosters of the Dominican Republic. |
 |
Vote4Pedro: I'm taking it seriously! That's why I want to see them scratch each other to death in the face! |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: yeah but you almost apologized for it, what was up with that |
|
Vote4Pedro: People don't understand that it's just part of our culture. I'm not saying I was right. If I have to apologize to anybody, I sincerely from my heart would do it. I just didn't think it was anything bad. |
|
Vote4Pedro: It's just like the part of urban black culture that makes them want to put broken up glass in dog fur and make them fight to the death. Or like the part of white culture where they don't make anything fight anything else to the death. |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: So what are you putting on your chicken? |
|
Vote4Pedro: welp, I've got curved blades for the feet, a razor blade for the beak, and these two little gun turrets that fire nerf missles for the arms, I think they can do a ton of dino-damage. What about you? |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: My chicken stands six feet tall and boats 4 oz. MMA gloves. |
|
Vote4Pedro: God dammit Aramis we already talked about this, you can't use the San Diego Chicken for cockfighting. |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: You can't handle my cock! My cock hatched from a giant egg! |
|
Vote4Pedro: he's not a cock, he's a man in a chicken suit and for god sakes he doesn't even have mascot hands, he just has man hands in latex gloves. It doesn't take strategy or breeding to ask a man to walk up to a chicken and stomp it to death. |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: Well, if we ever do Galapagos Flightless-Birdfighting you can call dibs on the Phillie Phanatic. I'll even let you use the ATV. |
|
Vote4Pedro: Seriously? |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: Yes. Such is my dedication to cockfighting. |
| |
Vote4Pedro: All right, it's a deal. Hey, after we're done with this do you want to do some Galapagos Flightless-Birdfighting? |
|
ReadOnlyMemory: no |

Seriously, Dave? You seriously believe that?
I don't think I could come up with something that painfully racist and xenophobic if that was my intention.
Wow. Just wow.

Someone sick LEW on Dave. Give 'im the ol' all-caps what-for.
That is the single-most awful thing I've seen today, and possibly this year. It's only February.
I sometimes wish there were a placement exam people would have to pass if they wanted to use the internet. That way, we can all just laugh at webcomics and look at porn without having some racist's opinion shoved down our throats.

As if a Dugout comment is the place to give your racist opinions on Dominicans...
I love how the chicken links to Andy Pettite. Always fun seeing what random characters link to!

that = priceless. Somehow, though, I get the feeling that you barely scratched the surface on this topic. :D

It should be noted for those that came late, that someone left a terribly bigoted remark, and it was removed after the remaining 4 people left their posts. They aren't reacting to B's Fanhouse...they are reacting to a post by "Dave".

Other countries that should not be allowed to play baseball:
Puerto Rico: Jose Canseco and Rafael Palmeiro. Also, Carlos Delgado does not support the war or God's blessing our country.
Taiwain: Seriously, if Kosovo - freaking Kosovo - can become a country and you can't, you shouldn't be allowed to play our great game.
Australia: I've been waiting forever for some Aussie player to pull out a big knife or show us all his pet kangaroo/koala/crocodile or at least maintain a rate of 1 fight per inning. Nobody from Australia has been able to pull this off, so, frankly, I don't see what they bring to the game.
Brazil: SPEAK SPANISH LIKE THE REST OF YOUR CONTINENT!
Canada: If this allows us to return Eric Gagne, then I'm all for it.
Spain: Remember the Maine!
Mozambique: If someone from here played in the bigs, we'd have to learn how to spell/pronounce it, and, even if we did, then we'd have to listen to commentators try to do the same thing.
Russia: In Soviet Russia, second base steals you.
Red Sox Nation: Too obnoxious.
