Which player do you hate on your favorite team?

Question

I love the Mariners but I could never stand Freddy Garcia (while he was in Seattle anyways). That creaky pause-pitch delivery drove me nuts, and he seemingly couldn't win the big games for Seattle. Don't really have such feelings for anyone in Seattle anymore.

What's your story?

Answer 1

I love the Yankees but I honestly can't stand Derek Jeter. Way too cocky and although everyone calls him clutch and all I just don't see the big hits very consistently like you might expect with all the adulation he gets. Defensively he's a life-saver though.

Answer 2

Hello, fellow Mariner! At the beginning of the season I was a little annoyed with Jose Vidro. Signing him to me was a mistake, because of obvious injury risks (even being a DH). And he used to constantly foul balls off when Ichiro had second... I also believe he ended Ichiro's stolen base streak on a failed hit & run.. But I'm over it, he's really stepped up and proved himself. Ich has other records to snap like Consecutive 200 hit seasons and all star games! Right now I'd say its a tie between big sexy and rick freakin white... Come on!! Kenny Lofton!?!?! Pitch to em!!! Argh. And Sexson? Jesus don't even get me started. He'll need to hit .225 before I begin to think to reconsider. Now if the question was "Who do you hate the most associated with your favorite team?" Bill Bavasi. That idiot pulled back Richie Sexson!!!!! We could've dumped his $14 mil and gotten someone decent in the off season.. I'd take Livan, wouldn't you? Bavasi is done.

PS-Stagg what the hell are you talking about?! Freddy Garcia healthy?!!?!?!! Are you serious? Reggie Willits will hit 50 home runs next year too!!

Answer 3

I am a Yankee fan all the way and Kyle Farnsworth has got to go!!! He cant not get 3 outs with to protect the lead so Torre can give the ball to Mariano Rivera to close out the game.... I also cant stand Mike Mussina he is another problem.....I don't know if he is hurt physically or mentally but I have to agree with Dusty Baker the Yankees need to designate him for assignment let him work on his mechanics and clear out his head or he will cost the Yankees a play off spot win or world series win!!!

Answer 4

Right now, I don't hate any player on the Dodgers, but in the past, i've had some unfavorite ones: Bobby Bonilla, Ismael Valdes, Gary Sheffield, Darren Dreifort, and even Players-Association-representative Brett Butler during the team's boycott against "scab" Mike Busch in 1995.

Answer 5

When he was still with the Sox, I couldn't stand Nomar. The whole 2 minute wristband routine was interesting the first five times he did it but it just got irritating to see. I kept wishing the camera would show something else while he was doing The Routine. Didn't help his cause that The Routine was on The Shelf for much of his last days with the Sox.

Answer 6

I'm a Yankee fan and hate Carl Pavano. He is simply a waste of a signing. Pitches about twice a year before getting hurt. At least Farnsworth can walk out to the mound, even if he doesn't produce good results half of the time.

Answer 7

Jhonny Peralta. Has no range for a shortstop, but is even worse at third base. Runs like he has a pockets full of rocks. And swings at pitches my grandmother would take for ball 4. He has to be the most disliked Indian since Jose Mesa blew the World Series. lol GO TRIBE !!!

Answer 8

As a White Sox fan, I have been given a lot of choices this year. But the easy answer is Juan Uribe. He swings at everything, cannot hit a lick, can't bunt, and makes way too many errors. He is also lazy as hell. If they pick up the $5.5 million dollar option on him next year it will make me lose any respect I might have left for Kenny Williams.

Answer 9

Phillies -J.D Durbin. i don't like the way he pitches, he thinks he is the greatest, and he is just way to over confident. i also hate Freddy Garcia too he did't tell any one he was injured untill he let in 7 runs in two inning and he is gettin paid a ton of money to sit on the DL. oh and i can't say i hate this guy, but i dislike his pitching Geoff Geary he needs to go back to the minors, tooo many bases on balls

Answer 10

I used to not like Khalil Greene very much. It seemed like he'd pick the worst time to hack at the first pitch, resulting in popups. He also grounded into double plays where it looked like he was casually jogging towards first. Don't mind it as much anymore, seemed to have cut down the first pitch hacking and GIDPs a whole lot since 2005.

Answer 11

Kyle Farnsworth with the Yankees. He sucks big time. Last night he comes in the top of the eugth and gives up a two run Homerun. He's been erratic all season long. I hope the Yankees trade him for two batboys and a concession worker.
