When Jose Bautista left the first game of Tuesday’s double-header against the Yankees, fans feared the worst.  And while going to the 15-day DL isn’t the end of the world, it does hammer another nail into the coffin, otherwise known as the Jays 2013 season.

As a result of his left hip bone bruise, Bautista has been on the receiving end of comments from the Twitter world.  As you’d expect, some were mildly amusing:

However, the following picture of Bautista enjoying lunch with the Canadiens P.K. Subban and some friends, went on to confirm my belief that you should never underestimate the stupidity of people:

Subban & Bautista at lunch

Seems like an innocent enough photo for Subban to post on Twitter, right?  Well, apparently not:

Now people often say you should rise above such pettiness, especially when you’re in the public eye.  However, I come from the school of logic, which decries that two wrongs do make a right.  As such, I’m happy to report that Bautista did respond:

As you’d expect, other Jays fans decided to chime in, thankfully bringing some humour to the situation:

I suppose the only defence for ‘finner5′ is that after the high hopes heading into this season, the chances were some of us would lose the plot after what’s transpired.

(I’d say get well soon Bautista, but what’s the hurry?  The Jays are going to be lucky to finish .500 at this point.)
