In the social media cesspool, which never seems to run out of room for another dump of miasmic waste, reaction to Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant’s latest injury was swift and visceral.
Here we go again.
What good is this guy?
Fire him into the sun!
But that’s what Bryant gets for putting together one of the great five-year stretches in Cubs history, right? A Rookie of the Year season. An MVP season. Three All-Star Games. A World Series title. A whole lot of slugging, scoring and versatility. Not always everything fans wanted him to be, but often — and when healthy — all that and more.
