A local 10-year-old Cardinals fan is trolling Yasiel Puig. (USATSI)

The Dodgers have been eliminated from the postseason by the Cardinals in each of the last two seasons, and if that isn't bad enough, Yasiel Puig has a 10-year-old Cards fan trolling the heck out of him. The boy, who lives in Los Angeles and belongs to a family close to Puig, likes to give the outfielder a hard time whenever possible.

Here's the story from MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez:

"He's driving me crazy," Puig said in Spanish. "I have to kick him out of that family. He has four blue things of mine in his room, and he tells me it's because he feels sorry for me, sorry for the Dodgers. He has everything else red -- the comforter, the sheets, the ceiling, everything. His room is red. And he says the best city in the United States is St. Louis." ... "His mom calls him 'The Cardinal,'" Puig deadpanned. "We don't even know his name anymore. … I take him to the stadium, I put the tickets under my name, I introduce him to all of my teammates, and he shows up with a Cardinals shirt. He's driving me nuts. I can't win with him. His cousins all have [Dodgers gear]. Not him. We have to do something. I have to make him change his mind. We won the second game and that's it. He cried, and after that, he started laughing at us again."

Needless to say, this sounds like good-naturing trolling. Puig and the boy's family are obviously close. That said, Puig definitely wants to put an end to the team's two-year streak of being eliminated by the Cardinals.

"We can't let them beat us three straight times," Puig said. "No way. They're a good team, and we all admire them. They have very good pitchers, very good players. If we beat them, we can win the World Series. We just have to get through them."

So, if the Dodgers and Cardinals meet in the postseason again later this year, and the Dodgers actually manage to win, we can trace it back to this unnamed 10-year-old who is giving Puig hell. The narrative is strong with this one.
