I'm pro-Cardinals biased and I still winced whenever I saw him do a takeout slide. Thankfully he never ruined anyone's season that I'm aware of but he's just such a big guy. It always looked so dangerous.

Yeah, to his credit, he's never broken legs and he seems to have taken to the new rules well. It's just something deeply ingrained in me at this point.

Also I'm pretty sure Utley is gonna show up higher on the most-hated list.

I may be celebrating preemptively and Yadi will show up at number 1 but I think we benefit from the fact that a lot of our most despicable personal behavior has been from retired, traded or dead players, from LaRussa or from our psychotic, racist fans rather than our current roster.

Utley is not only not the handsomest Dodger (it's Kershaw :allears: ), he also was not the handsomest Phillie when he was on the Phillies (it was Cliff Lee). :colbert:

Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels were equally handsome in different ways. Then Hamels got traded to a team with Yu Darvish on it, and I promptly forgot he existed. :swoon:

Cardinals have a Stanford guy and a Princeton guy. Neither of them are having the season that Hendricks is having, of course. Still, if you want to hate on someone for their school you can target Piscotty or Bowman and not feel like you're betraying your team.

What's to love? He is very good at pitching and engaged to a model while also not being Matt Harvey, so it's okay to like him.



Felix Hernandez

What's to love? He is a historically good pitcher, having thrown the first Mariners' first perfect game, beaten Randy Johnson's record for most strikeouts by a Mariner & Jamie Moyer's record for most wins as a Mariner, and Tom Seaver's 13-game streak of 7 innings pitched with fewer than 2 runs per game allowed (Hernandez's streak was 16 games). Is it any wonder he has his own cheer section in Safeco Field?
