December 18, 20187 yr Another tough list. So many to hate. 1) The Shark - Jeff whose name that no-one could spell was an awful pitcher who was arrogant and never listened to Coop. He sucked for us for that reason 2) Adam La Roche - Probably the strangest story in sports history. A grown man taking the huff because a professional sports team wouldn't let his son in the locker room. 3) Adam Dunn - Strikeout strikeout strikeout strikeout strikeout strikeout Home Run. Probably the most frustrating player to watch play the game. 4) Nick Swisher - Didn't want to be a White Sox player, his attitude sucked. 5) David Robertson - Enter the most hyped closer in the game. Big contract, he's going to make the difference. Exit a waste of money and lots of blown saves. Another frustrating player to watch.

So if you want to add every PED guy to my list then go ahead, but it will not change my stance of whether they were my favorite or least favorite guys. Did you see that mustache, Hill Street Blues was begging for him to come be a regular.

Poor guy he may have been the ultimate tease but you really want to put him 1st over a guy who threw a World Series, wife beaters and a guy who tried to run down trick or treaters with his car ? Well I mean, I think my whole list is guys who I hated for objective, performance reasons. If it was the all-scumbag team, I’d have different answers for sure. I can see how you could interpret the OP either way.
December 18, 20187 yr Since people are complaining about other people not hating a player enough... Really, no other Manny votes? That 2010 team was so much fun and that guy felt like he singlehandedly ruined it.

Did you see that mustache, Hill Street Blues was begging for him to come be a regular. I would imagine that in certain time periods, the strong majority of the Sox [and every other team] were using PEDs. Hating on the guys who got caught or were suspicious isn't worth it.
December 18, 20187 yr Was Linebrink a bad person? I remember him being very effective, then sucking. Always thought he just got over used or something. Clayton Navarro Swisher Kotsay as above many Kenny gets his guy acquisitions Santo/Kessinger just as cub lifers Edited December 18, 20187 yr by BamaDoc
December 18, 20187 yr Andy Gonzalez Javy Vazquez Alex Rios Mike Pelfrey (I know what his role was one the team but god was he awful) Billy Koch (only because I liked Keith Foulke)

Anyways I remember Guillen being his usual asshole self and going out of his way to make the situation worse. I'm more surprised Lawrie isn't on the list. The guy faked an injury to quit baseball. Oh and Squires had 6 career home runs in 10 seasons as our everyday 1B. In 10 seasons with the White Sox, Mike Squires had more than 200 AB in three seasons and over 300 AB once. In two of those seasons, he had fewer than 5 AB. Not sure that qualifies as "everyday".
December 18, 20187 yr I'll usually only hate dudes for who they were so, less their performance so... 1) Brett Myers 2) Adam LaRoche 3) Nick Swisher 4) Bartolo Colon 5) Magglio Ordonez* *Maggs was my favorite player growing up, but when he was a Tiger I once saw him fake throw a ball to a fan at a game I was at and it just about ruined him forever in my eyes.

Was it a kid or some douchebag who had been heckling him all game? I think something like that is situational.
December 18, 20187 yr This a a tough one. So many guys off the top of my head, I'm not sure I'd be able to actually rank them... 1) Nick Swisher 2) Adam LaRoche 3) Alex Rios 4) Jeff Samardjiza 5) Mark Teahen HM: Orlando Cabrera, David Aardsma, Brett Myers, Mike MacDougal, Manny Ramirez, Joe Borchard

I know @southsider2k5 isn't too fond of him either for years, from the secret surgery on..
December 19, 20187 yr Adam LaRoche Albert Belle Bryan Anderson Sammy Sosa Josh Fields (such a disappointment)

December 20, 20187 yr So after thinking about this more, the easy choice is Samardzija, followed by Austin Jackson. Both are for reasons relating to college athletics and then sucking for the Sox as well.
