Who's that guy that pisses you off?

[list]The Rules: I name a team, and ask you who that guy on team that pisses you off. You know... that guy. Tell me who pisses you off on that team and why. You can be reasonable or unreasonable. Wise or foolish. Pissiness is a radical and unpredictable force that takes on a life of its own. You then ask about another team for the next poster. We can repeat teams, but if successful, we might want to at least try to work your way around the league.[/list:u] Who's that guy that pisses you off... on the Reds?

Mike Leake. Menace to society and Mets hitters. http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/ ... irt-theft/ Who's that guy who pisses you off...on the Giants?

Hunter Pence. No explanation necessary. Who's that guy who pisses you off...on the Phillies?Youall know who I would pick.

Pence is in that space where Brandon Phillips was until recently, where the only thing I don't like about him is his lack of a Mets uniform.

Chris Johnson. Self-appointed "you have to play the game the right way" people are terrible. Remember that nonsense fight he nearly started with Jose Fernandez last year? Who gets your goat on the Cardinals? (or is that too easy?)

Edgy MD Sep 03 2014 10:06 AM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

You know, Randy F. Choate is a master of getting my goat and doing unspeakable things with it. Not only has he been pitching for decades despite logging approximately 17 innings per year, making him simultaneously the walking embodiment of overspecialization and the walking embodiment of empty extended game times. No, it's that he's walking around with a 2000 championship ring that should only be worn by Men who've played for the Mets. In fact, there's a good chance, with the intended retirement of Derek Jeter at the end of this season (you may have heard about this somewhere), that Choate will be the last surviving 2000 Yankee, and therefore the last active player to face the Mets in a World Series. That's a shameful thing to be, Randy Choate! Who pisses you off... on the Rays?

Two different things. Choate will be the last surviving person from the 2000 MFY playoff roster but he did not appear in the 2000 World Series.

Yeah, well, he was an all-too-willing slave to dark forces whether his number was called or not, and bears a ring to prove it. Nits to him.

seawolf17 Sep 03 2014 10:42 AM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

Seriously? Yadier Molina and Adam Wainwright are on the roster and you picked Randy Choate, who I had no idea was even still alive?

Edgy MD Sep 03 2014 10:48 AM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

Question was all teed up for a dozen hours, waiting for somebody to take a swing at it and nobody did. I jumped in, considered the options, and, like JFK, I'm proud to say that I went to Choate. And like Survivor sings, it's too late to turn back now. Rays.

Grant Balfour of the Rays is my little friend with the big mouth... Twins..

Phil Hughes. He still got that Yankee Stank. Who would you not buy a beer for on the Brewers?

Frayed Knot Sep 03 2014 02:58 PM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

I don't know if there's anyone currently on Houston that I've ever seen play much less seen enough to develop a dislike for. Most of their roster was in the minors leagues until sometime last month and I think some of them were still in high school. So I'll go with (currently injured) OF George Springer because he's going to make a lot of money in his career and there's very little chance of him cutting me in on the inheritance. But those Dodgers, now THEY have some hatable players in your mind I'm guessing.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Sep 03 2014 04:47 PM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

You might expect me to say Hanley. You ain't bad at surmisin', pardner. But you'd be wrong. At least this year. 'Cause .322/.391/.445, and 3 wins of value in less than 300 PAs... Justin Turner, who the fuck do you think you are? We'll go a little challenging, and try a relatively likable squad: which Royal would you gladly see locked in a faraway tower?

Gwreck Sep 03 2014 09:30 PM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

I was ready to say Justin Maxwell, who hit a couple of big late inning homers against the Mets (a walkofff grand slam against Francisco Rodriguez in '09, a game-winning homer in '13 in extra innings) but he got DFAed and sent to the minors back in June. I remember him as part of that Josh-Cody-Jeremy-Dan group of Marlins players we hated in the mid-00s but there's nothing in particular about Josh Willingham that sticks out. I guess we have to go with Raul Ibanez. Several years with the Phillies followed by a year with the Yankees. Takes a lot of scrubbing to get that dirt off your soul. --- Which Boston Red Sox do you hate?

And what was that about leaving Van Hale.... er, never mind. But I still don't like him. All that money for nothing. What Diamondback do you have venom for? Later

Cody Ross! I hate that smug, pig-like face - every time I see it I want to slap it! Who pisses you off on the Seattle Mariners?

Lefty Specialist Sep 04 2014 06:32 AM Re: Who's that guy that pisses you off?

Corey Hart. Looks like a human assembled from a kit by a 10-year-old. Always had big hits against the Mets when in a Sudsmaker uniform. Plus there were all those bad '80's songs. So who's the unholy Padre?
