hate list:

koyie hill>

[DiamondMind]

hating on koyie is kind of like hating on a blind man, or mike olt, its not their fault they're so bad really. at least he had a good attitude. my hate list is a combination of awful play AND horrible attitudes, which is really why hawkins will have a chokehold on #1 for a while for me

RIZZO!!

[gscool89]

Rizzo!

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Could Rizzo hit 40 this year? Probably not, but 35 seems pretty doable.

[Andy]

Rizzo HR swing makes me happy. And I totally didn't realize he was so close to the NL HR lead.

i could be completely misremembering this, but i believe my first most-hated cub was joe kmak. 95 was my first year as a cub fan, and he was on the team that year, so this at least passes the smell test.

 

as i remember it, the cubs were in extra innings against someone (phillies? could easily be wrong) and joe kmak was on third base. the pitcher threw a wild pitch and kmak took one overly cautious step towards home before making a horrified face and watching the ball bounce away. harry went nuts and i was infuriated, at least in part because i was in little league at the time and everyone knows that you always take the next base when the ball gets by the catcher.

I would have been 12 in 95, I have no recollection of anyone named kmak :(

 

on that team though - I REALLY disliked howard johnson. good god. and that pitching staff - foster castillo and navarro

 

what an awful team

 

wasnt zeile on the 95 cubs too? so bad

it was mostly because my dad hated him and I was like 6 at the time.

also, the 95 cubs finished 73-71 in a shortened season. only four games out of a playoff spot, thanks to an eight-game winning streak (including three walkoff wins!) down the stretch.

 

i long for a season like that.
