Group B: The Great Jimmy Rustlers
Johnny ****ing Football
Young, talented and brash, Johnny Manziel has it all. JFF is perhaps SE's favorite Jimmy Rustler. His brazen attitude rustled the public like few sports figures in 2013. His response? Troll the haters on Twitter.
His 2013 offseason got the haters super mad. First..
Then he got old people super rustled when he was seen partying at the casino and a Texas frat party.
If that wasn't enough, he created all kinds of controversy with his autograph scandal. Ultimately, he rustled both his haters and NCAA haters by agreeing to a stiff one half suspension for the first game of the year.
Hell of a year, Johnny.
Joe Flacco
On the other end of the spectrum, Joe Flacco rustled SE's jimmies perhaps more than anyone in 2013. It all began when Riverman created this thread in early 2012: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/46...sucks-1153545/
In 2013, in true Riverman fashion, it backfired. Everything looked okay early in the 2013 NFL playoffs. The Ravens were down with little time left and looked like they would be eliminated by the Broncos. Then, Flacco threw a bomb to Jacoby Jones after safety Rahim Moore badly mistimed his jump. The Ravens won the game and Flacco carried his team on his back the remainder of the playoffs to win the Super Bowl.
At that point, Flacco had Riverman so beaten down he admitted defeat:
A few weeks later, one of the great rustlings of 2013 began:
Luis Suarez
Suarez began his rustling in the 2010 World Cup when he intentionally used his hands to stop a sure game winning goal. Uruguay went on to win the game and soccer purists everywhere were furious. In early 2013, he had another handball, this time leading to his own game winning goal.
A few months later, Suarez cemented his spot in the 2013 Rustlers of the Year by going full Mike Tyson.
Suarez's combined on field performances, good and bad, earned him a spot in Group B.
Yasiel Puig
Puig hit the ground running in 2013 when he was called up to the Big Leagues. Tallying 27 hits in his first 15 games, Puig led some to believe that he might make a different group in this competition:
Not only did he show he could hit the cover off the ball, he could play a little defense.
His elite early performance got rival fans super rustled:
Puig continued to swag out and the baseball purists joined in the rustling.
Another big story who rustled many in both SE and the mainstream, Puig rounds up Group B.

90 + wins each year and best team in the playoffs both times. I didn't personally win the world series twice in the last three years, but still sleepin like a kang (with rangzzz) these days.
Part of me kinda hope puig gets in now tho, because the asg would probably be the biggest game he played in, for that disgrace of an organization anyway.

1. water trash ravine, the worst stadium in baseball
2. lolfrank mccourt
3. trying to buy a world series, spending money akin to a monkey throwing **** on a wall, on overpaid scrubs with baggage, who dont care about winning. (conversely, when someone on the giants has baggage/character issues, they are not welcome, but kicked to the curb before winning a world series.)
4. Bryan Stow incident and a sleu of wannabe gang bangers in general
5.The worst fans in the game (the few that would actually align themselves with the dodgers)--these clowns would rather play with beach balls than watch baseball--but part of me sympathizes considering the franchise they have to watch.
6.No titles since 1988, the closest thing the trash organization dodgers can get to titles is the hollywood box office.
Loldodgers. They are obviously the epitome of a melancholy disgrace to humanity.

You're right. I have no idea what I'm talking about.
See Puig's quality baserunning last night? Trying to tag on a fly ball to shallow CF? Great instincts.
But if you wanna talk rookie of the year, I have no problem doing so.
Jose Fernandez, should win the NL rookie of the year. He has the best numbers.
Hell I think Ryu from the dodgers has just as good of a shot as well.
But chances are they'll give it to Puig as they did Harper last year screwing Wade Miley, who posted quite the impressive numbers.
And btw, Adam Dunn has 434 HR, so that's not that bad of a comparison for someone who has a shot at the HOF.
I'm not saying Puig's a bad player, but come on. He's played 65 games in the bigs. Let's let the guy play more than 2 1/2 months and see how he finishes up.
