Players on your teams you never liked

[rxmc89]

Oh and for the poor guy who hates Jeff Carter, keep crying. I'll take his "primadona" attitude, goals, assists, defense, and a couple of Cups over being a crappy franchise like Columbus!

Ooooooh Sweet burn. Stop behaving like you have anything to do with the Kings success. You're just a fan, you're not the general manager of the team.

The Kings have an all-time losing record and one Stanley Cup in 47 years. Not exactly the model for franchise excellence. Get off your high horse because it doesn't suit you.

LOL coming from a Blue Jackets fan? Besides, the Kings are 3 wins away from their second Stanley Cup in 3 years, and have built a great team that can win for years to come. What they did in he past doesn't matter. You might as well chant "1940" to Rangers fans.

Melky Cabrera. One of the only Braves players I can say I truly hated. (Rocker was slightly before my time)

You can put me down for Melky as well. I thought the Giants were sunk when he went out in 2012. What moron pops positive right smack in the middle of the season?

I'll also add:

Miguel Tejada - he almost singlehandedly cost the Giants the 2011 season.

Felix Rodriguez - 2002 World Series. Dusty Baker. Enough said.

Jeff Kent - might as well replace the e in his last name with a u.

Half of the players that have played for the Buccaneers in the last decade.

Hey when he was with the Mets he was Jeff Kant

I see what you did there with the Kent joke...

As for my list:

Detroit Tigers: Rick Porcello- With his cockiness and attitude, you might as well call him a certain name that rhymes with his (I'll give you a hint, it starts with the letter D).

Detroit Red Wings: Stephen Weiss- I know what your thinking, "How can you hate a player that really hasn't played in many games for the Wings?" And therein lies the problem. It's frustrating to watch them let Valterri Filpula and Damien Brunner (who was supposed to be the Red Wings star of the future, by the way) go, and then replace them with a definitely past his prime Daniel Alfredsson and an injury prone bench-warmer in Stephen Weiss. At least Alfredsson actually plays and scores some goals (as well as setting up assists).

I can't really think of too many, but one that stands out to me was Jon Rauch when he was with the Jays. I remember there were multiple times when he blew saves for the Jays in 2011, including one time when he gave up a home run in extras on his second pitch when Toronto had a one run lead. Even though most of the bullpen was awful that year, he seems to really stand out to me.

[LAWeaver]

I'm a Hendrick Motorsports fan, but between the 4 drivers currently driving for Mr. H, Kasey Kahne is my least favorite. He feels very overrated. I guess you could kinda say the same thing about Dale Jr, but I actually like him

[wonderbread]

Andy Carroll when he was with Liverpool. He just underperformed so much, and giving up Torez for him made me angry. Glad he left

Just curious, what did poor Josh Thole do to be on that list?

[rxmc89]

Let's see for the Kings, there's been Sean Avery, Roman Cechmanek, Dan Cloutier, oh and then the biggest joke of a player ever, Kevin Westgarth.

Oh and for the poor guy who hates Jeff Carter, keep crying. I'll take his "primadona" attitude, goals, assists, defense, and a couple of Cups over being a crappy franchise like Columbus!

Oh yeah, there's no good reason why the rest of the league hates most Kings fans. Nope, no reason at all.

Right, because one idiot represents an entire fan base. Generalize much?

[Mac the Knife]

On the Pittsburgh Pirates, there've been TONS of 'em over the years...

In the 1970's, I couldn't stand DAVE PARKER. My stance on him has changed rather dramatically as I've become older, and today I think he has at least a passing case for HOF consideration (though not necessarily induction). But as a kid I remember hearing stories about him that just made me dislike him.

In the 1980's, it was JASON THOMPSON and GEORGE HENDRICK. Not because of anything they had done particularly, but just because the team really, really sucked and these guys were the living embodiment of that failure. I remember a game at Three Rivers in 1985 which was so sparsely attended (I think the announced crowd was 3,500 or so, but a lot of people were apparently disguised as empty seats) where I heckled them mercilessly from lower-level seats beyond the left field wall - and loudly enough that every word echoed through Three Rivers Stadium like it was a canyon.

Then came BARRY BONDS. I hated the guy from the day he came up, simply because he always acted like an :censored:. I wasn't alone in that thinking, but while others were hoping the guy would get a key hit for the Pirates when he came to the plate, I was always hoping the oppositing pitcher would go headhunting. I also didn't care much for SID BREAM, not really though for anything more than I never thought of him as a Pirate, but more a Dodger cast-off.

Nowadays, I honestly don't follow players enough to like or dislike any of them, even on the teams I kinda-sorta support. I still can't stand Bonds, though.

Just curious... if your list is that long, why the hell do/did you pull for the Mets anyway?

[ScoffingYayap]

Papelbum

Never liked him while he was with Boston, and the deal he signed with the Phillies in 2012 made little sense. His performance has been fine, but he's been known for his outbursts. From calling out the fans to calling out the team, he seems like a problem player.

My personal favorite of his is this past Mother's Day where he refused to pitch (!!! WHAT!? We pay you $58 million so you can refuse to pitch!?))) while the Phillies were in Queens. After a good performance by Cole Hamels (Forced to throw 130+ pitches because we were down a reliever), our only choice for the 9th inning is Antonio Bastardo (Another guy I hate, although he had quite a run in '11) who promptly allows the Mets to tie the game. Mets go on to win via walkoff.

[TheRicSlick]

Anybody else notice the photoshopped Asian?

[Sport]

That's not photoshopped. Asian people go to major league games too.

[4_tattoos]

I don't know. She does look photoshopped into the pic.

There was a time 1986 when it was actually fun to be a Mets fan.

Josh Thole just sucked he could not hit and could not catch that well had no power and was the worst catcher I have ever seen.

[Buster]

Skins fans have been treated to some real winners.

Albert Haynesworth

Michael Westbrook

The one that still makes me the angriest:

Heath Shuler, probably the biggest bust in franchise history.

[Buster]

Redskins Players

Carlos Rodgers: made too many bad plays when with the Skins. Waste of a first round pick. Did a 180 with the Niners. Bastard!

Carlos Rogers...ugh! He was great in coverage but dropped EVERY ball that hit his hands, some cost uf games. Then we let him go and he suddenly learbned how to catch everything with the 49ers.

Another similar situation...LaRon Landry. Impact player but could not get on the field with the Skins. He refused treatment and surgery on his achilles and wanted to rehab it himself and never got heathly. Then, he goes to the Pro Bowl while playing 16 games the next year with he Jets and still plays well with the Colts.

[Raysfan12]

I would say Jose Molina. He is a solid defensive player, but he couldn't hit a baseball even if it was on a tee.
