Baseball fans: Who's the player you LOVE to HATE?

For me: A.J. Pierzinsky, catcher from the White Sox.

OMG I hate him. I really, really do.

Re: Baseball fans: Who's the player you LOVE to HATE?

  • Probably A-Rod.  Or Manny Ramirez - though I wouldn't say I hate him, but he sure was a weirdo prima donna when he was on the Red Sox.
  • A-Rod, without question.

    And he's a local boy--one who recently donated a heckuva lot of money to my alma mater, which repaid him by naming our baseball field in his honor.

    But charity aside, and even the STEROIDS aside...I don't have a lot of respect for a guy who galavants with strippers and call girls while on road trips. I don't doubt that a lot of athletes are unfaithful to their wives, but the way A-Rod just flouted it and didn't seem to care?

    Bothered me. A lot.

    Throw in the steroids, the fact he plays for the Yankees ;) and all that other jazz and I'm over him.

  • A-Rod. But who doesn't hate A-Rod?

     

     

  • lol, A-Roid doesn't really bother me.  I can't stand Manny Ramirez, and even though he's retired I feel the need to say that I always hated Roger Clemens.

  • Carlos Zambrano.

  • Pretty much any Yankee. 

    Does Barry Bonds just go without saying?

  • AJ is actually a friend of mine lol. I hear that all the time, but he's a great guy and a good friend.

    Mine: Jason Varitek and Manny. Jason because he was a complete and utter ass to a friend of mine (in front of me), and Manny because, well, he's Manny.

  • Barry Bonds. I also still hate Roger Clemens. 
  • A-Rod or Jeter, hands down.

  • Hines Ward.  Everytime I see him I want to punch that stupid smile off of his stupid face.
    The day I left was just my beginning.
  • I'm going to go with A-Rod, Jeter, Manny. Basically the Angels, Yankees and Tampa Bay. I am also a Boston, Oakland and Detroit fan! ;)

    I don't recall him ever playing baseball - did I miss something?

  • imagead52905:

    agreed. i feel so unoriginal - but the guy really makes my skin crawl.

  • A-Rod, but that goes without saying.

    I also LOVE to hate papelbon with his scowl that looks suspiciously like another part of the anatomy, beckett, and schilling.

  • i am a really boring person who tries not to hate on people i don't know personally, but....

    I FUKKING HATE MANNY RAMIREZ!!!!

    oooh, now i feel better....

    these pretzels are making me thirsty.
  • All of the Mets - with the exception of David Wright - he is the only one who knows enough to keep his mouth shut and let his playing do the talking.
  • Current player: A-Rod. I'm a Yankees fan and I can't stand that guy.

    Can I also put Curt Schilling on this list? I swear to goodness that was red Gatorade on his sock. That "blood" stain never got bigger which isn't natural!

    I think it was ketchup, not Gatorade. LOL. I'm a diehard Red Sox fan, but Schilling was an asshat. He could never keep his mouth shut.

    I agree with the pp who said she hated Scott Boras (Manny's agent and agent to just about every big-named player). He's evil.

    And speaking of Manny, what's this about wanting to go back to play for Cleveland? I truly believe he's just a moron and Boras takes full advantage of him. In the beginning, the "Manny being Manny' thing was endearing, then it just got to be out of control. I'm glad that management let him go.

    Thank goodness someone agrees with me. Anytime I've mentioned the non-blood stain to my Red Sox fan friends they act like I just said I think all children are spawns of Satan (which, I don't, I love kids). 

  • mrsbobcat - I would hope that most Red Sox fans know deep down in their hearts that something was fishy with the whole sock drama. However, it did add a little something extra to their world series run that year.  And in Boston, we love a good dramatic story!

     

     

     

  • I have a few.  A-Rod and Bonds, of course.  I hate Giambi..absolutely hate him.  I also can't stand Randy Johnson he is just too ugly for TV.  Holy crap man.  Ew.
  • I love love LOVE my Zambrano!!!! Love him!

     Love to Hate Manny....and A-Rod makes me want to vomit profously!!

  • Pretty much any Yankee. There are only a few I do like.
