Who was/is your all time favorite Cub player?

[Sammy Sofa]

He seriously looks like the kind of horribly unlikable character Adam Scott plays in everything that isn't Parks & Recreation.

you can tell he just wants to say hello to everyone out there and also hello to his family and hello to his friends and his fans and also hello to larry mullen jr

Theriot is the kind of guy that listens to Nickelback and goes this is good uhhh good uhhh good uhhh good uhhh good uhhh rock and roll music.

i bet he also hears the first 20 seconds of the theme song to cheers and thinks "yep, here is a good u2 song"

Al Contra. :yahoo:

Sosa is my all-time favorite. Woody took the mantle after Sosa left. Loved DLee and Rammy, though I'll admit I don't think I appreciated exactly how good Rammy was. And it's pretty easily Rizzo now.

I didnt like Bako, Neifi Macias, etc but it wasn't really their fault that they sucked. Or that dusty played them a lot. In Theriots case, he sucked, was a meatball target, and was also a douche.

I hope so much we fix things with Sammy. He brought me so much joy.

[snoodmonger]

Favorite is Sammy and Leon Durham. HM goes to Kerry and (weirdly) Paul Assenmacher.

 

Least favorite is probably Todd Hundley. I've also grown to hate Mark Grace.

[NOLA]

All seriousness, Edwin Jackson is quickly becoming my least favorite. I do almost feel sorry for him, the way I felt sorry for LaTroy when he struggled, but god is he a disappointment.

i've got a thing for heels, and todd hundley was a great [expletive] heel

 

i'm finding it hard to think of anyone other than theriot. his abysmal play and the cub fan meatballery was bad enough. but when he went over to the cardinals and complained about jim hendry ruining the clubhouse by getting rid of all the white guys, that was the icing on the cake

 

ryne sandberg also comes to mind. since i never really latched onto him when i was younger, most of my thoughts about him have to do with him quitting on the team, that awful HOF speech, and the stupid things he says and does nowadays. that being said, his biggest crime is being a passive-aggressive idiot, something i probably shouldn't hold against one of the best players in the history of my favorite team in the world

 

Sandberg was pretty likable in his heyday. Even if he was a complete push over the guy was awesome at 2b. But, really, what's with Hundleys heels? [expletive] SIU fetish [expletive]?

 

Theriots exit is by far tops on my list.

If we are counting time after playing days, Hollandsworth deserves scorn for his work on pre & post game shows.

[Sammy Sofa]

I give Hollandsworth a pass just for the stupid Dugout joke about him knowing the value of everything in the Netherlands.

on the flip side, maybe more deserving of scorn are those who expect valuable content from pre- and post-game shows

[neely crenshaw]

As a young kid it was Rick Monday until he was traded. Then Ryne Sandberg and Greg Maddux. Always liked DLee during that generation. Currently it was Shark, and Rizzo.

People watch that?

I'd settle just for someone likable. Frank Thomas seems pretty cool when he shows up for the White Sox shows. Norm Van Lier was entertaining for the Bulls. The Cubs and Bears should be able to do better than smarmy lumps of flesh like Hollandsworth and Miller.

Bill Buckner since he was my first favorite player as a kid.

 

Interesting side note - he had only 450 walks in 10,037 career plate appearances. But also only 453 career K's.

Hmmmm. This is a tough one. Sit back and imagine all the good Cubs moments over the past decade. Most of them involve Aramis. The 2007 slam against the Brewers, the slam in the 2003 NLCS, the constant (and almost predictable) walk off hits. Aramis is probably up there and might be a bit under-appreciated.

 

Gracie is up there for me too, right there with Sosa. But Aramis, Sosa, and Gracie. Can't go wrong.

His name is always near the top of the list for me.

[Guest]

In the other poll I said Andre Dawson, but as a recent Cub it would be Aramis without a doubt. New Cub would be Rizzo.
