Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong returned from the IL on Friday, just in time for an important June series against the rival Cubs. He went 0’fer in his return, which wasn’t too surprising after just a few unproductive rehab games with Memphis.
Immediately upon his activation, some on the post-apocalyptic hellscape that is Cardinals social media – Twitter and Facebook – put on their flip flops, grabbed a can of gasoline, and jauntily skipped out to the barn to dust off a well-worn wooden effigy.
Paul DeJong is back. Time to burn him down again.
Now if you’re sane and you stay away from those social media outlets you might not know that one of the favorite pastimes of Cardinals fans on Twitter is complaining about DeJong.
