Players you dislike!

[konerkocollector]

I don't know if anyone has ever posted this topic but who are the players you dislike in the game of baseball and for what reason. Me myself I dislike Joey Gathright because of the game where he ended Bobby Jenks Consecutive out Streak. Leaving him tied with Jim Barr which was the worst day of my life, enough of my story lets hear your's.

Re: Players you dislike!

i hate vladimere guerro and nick swisher. i might like swisher more since he has moved out of the AL West. guerrero beats the heck out of my rangers everytime they play.

Ulf Samuelsson since he was a punk and helped end Cam Neely's career and I also can't stand Claude Lemiuex.

Re: Players you dislike!

Let's see...

Luke Scott, Sometimes Jeff Kent (but not always), Carlos Zambrano (wish the Cards had him) and Barry B.

Strangely enough, Rickey Henderson (Mr. Ego) was one of my favorites. I dislike Bonds for the same reasons I liked Rickey - steroids has nothing to do with it. Just a slight variance in attitude.

Retired players include: Kevin Brown, Jeff Brantley, Rob Dibble and Frank Viola - all pitchers.

Re: Players you dislike!

This is a great topic. There are so many ballplayers to dislike for various reasons.

1) Barry Bonds - The name speaks for itself. Lying, roids, arrogance, clubhouse cancer, etc.

2) Jay Buhner - He always would strike out with RISP back when I was growing up in Seattle. Plus, he always had the nastiest wad of chewing tobacco - just nauseating. Plus, I've heard from waiters at a particular restaurant that he's not very fan-friendly - even to children.

3) Lance Berkman - I love him on-the-field, but his personality annoys the living heck out of me. He jokes about faking injuries, and just doesn't have what it takes to be a clubhouse leader. Plus, if he were more in shape, he could be one of the best players in the NL. Worst of all his political/religious views are scary IMHO.

4) Albert Pujols - think NLCS. Think my Astros. Nuff said.

5) Ken Griffey, Jr. - He's better now that he's matured, but was such a whiner when he was with Seattle. Hustle out a grounder to short, would you, Junior? Could have been the best all-time if he would have been more disciplined and shown a better work ethic. If I'd have had his talent, I would have really used it.

I agree with you on the Cubs and their Fans

Re: Players you dislike!

I dunno...I got to see (and hear) a lot of Cubs fans up close - full body shiver - during the playoffs last year. I would have to categorize them more as "to be pitied" rather than actively "disliked". A dumber brood I have seldom observed. During one game, in particular, I sat next to a three-generation family of six or seven, and I swear they didn't have more than a half dozen thumbs between them.

Re: Players you dislike!

I despise pretty much any player with Mets on his jersey....

Yep! Well said. I took special joy in knowing so much of the Mitchell Report was directly associated with the Mutts.

Also on my list:

Mark Messier. As a Canucks fan, I'm bound by law to hate him

Steve Smith (The Blackhawk #5) For his cheap shot on Bure in 1996. He was never really the same


Chris Pronger. I hope someone accidentally slashes his Achilles heal in the playoffs. He is the cheapest dirtbag I ever witnessed. (especially trying to stomp on Kesler's leg with a skate blade.)

Boomer Esiason. Seriously, what an arrogant pompous ass. I hated him when he played for the Jets and he is simply disgusting to listen to on the radio. Get over yourself. You were the Trent Dilfer of your day, a never was. At least Trent won a Super Bowl.
