Amen, Adam
That stare down crap before each pitch is too much. I hope it’s all a bit.

It seems that Pads is the only one
A bunch of midgets with no arms could pitch better than us. -iorange555
Paps
Might actually be the one and only guy on that team I like (well, him and Lester). At the very least, I have an immense respect for what he can do with a baseball. I hope he leaves the Sox somesday so I can actually root for him a little.

He doesn't binge
But yeah, that’s an image I hope other teams keep in mind.

I don't really like any of them.
And Youkilis and Pedroia are 2 of the 5 worst people currently alive today.

I hate Youkilis
in that Newman/Keith Hernandez style hate. He may as well have spit on my kid or something.
Youk is the absolute worst
and that is coming from a guy that kinda likes Swisher.
What would you ask Nolan Ryan: "... as a former pitcher, what would you think about having a useless lug standing out there behind you."
Then I'd tell him that useless lug’s name is Michael Young. -- lonestarJesus
The guys on the Red Sox I like
Papi - I really want to dislike him, but I just can’t.
Lester — I don’t know why I like him, I just do.

Lester
Everyone has to say they like him because he had cancer. You can’t say you hate someone with cancer.

somebody should have relayed this simple truth
to Greg LeMond.

I don't think that's all there is for me
But you’re probably right in some cases

Go Red Sox.
Why does everybody hate them? They’re good at playing baseball. Fun team to watch in my opinion.
I resent the Drays for being a much younger franchise and doing better than the Rangers ever dreamed of doing. Seeing them in the ALCS is like a slap in the face.
It's 2 reasons mainly.
Partly because the Red Sox are all a bunch of tools (see picture above) and partly because their fans are the most obnoxious fans in the world. They should get a Guiness Book of Worlds Records entry for most pink shirts and popped collars in a fanbase.
I'm...
…probably more obnoxious than most Red Sox fans, so I guess that’s part of the reason I like them. Say what you want about Boston fans, they know and appreciate the game. I’m not sure if the passion is quite the same in Tampa/St. Pete.

Hate the sox
they are like the angels were in the early part of the century. They lead the ML in douche+ and value over replacement tool. And how can anyone like youkilis? He makes Erstad look talented and graceful and his between pitch calisthenic routine is even more annoying that a Nomar at bat.
no, no, no
No team will ever suck more than the Angels. Never.

take the sox off your eyes
and look at how they act in the field. I can’t really distinguish between Eckstien and Pedroia or Erstad and Youk. Percival and Paps have to be related I’m just not sure how. Ortiz and Spiezio go the the same chin stylist and seriously what the hell was behind the plate for both of them?
redsox
i honestly used to root for them until they started winning world series all the time and got their big bandwagon fans.
i don’t exactly loathe them, but i’m just ready for a new team to succeed
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it." - Mitch Hedberg
i'm the exact same way...
i liked them when they were underdogs. now that they’ve had their time in the sun, one of the other underdogs need to take them down.
Reasons to hate the Red Sox
1. Their fans are THE WORST
2. Their media is THE WORST
3. Youkilis
4. Pedroia
5. for some people, not me for some reason, Papelbon
I agree that the Angels are more hatable, just because of the WunderDog and their manager. They don’t even need all of their other reasons beyond those two. And I also think that the White Sox are right there with the Red Sox.
But mainly, in this case, it’s probably about 80% little guy vs big guy syndrome.

Just because every team in dallas
plays like a pussy hole when it counts doesn’t mean we have to hate on a player who seems to perform best under pressure.
Easy There
Hey man… the only reason the Rangers haven’t succeeded in the past was that they didn’t have enough Matt Kata in their lineup. 9 Matt Kata’s in your lineup and you’re dominating all the other pussy hole teams in the league!
That's no stare down
He’s just telling the batter what pitch he’s gonna throw. And he’s so good, the batter still misses.
