There was a time when Yasiel Puig was the hot topic du jour on a seemingly, um, jourly basis. That went double during October, a month when Puig's every action was best observed through a microscope. And the more subatomic, the better.
But this year? Not as much. And the way things are looking now, it's time to wonder if we'll even be discussing Puig at all come the postseason.
Oh, don't worry. The Los Angeles Dodgers will be there. They've caught fire and opened up a big lead in the NL West over the defending world champion San Francisco Giants.
