I think he's likable. He seems to enjoy playing the game, something that can't be said for a lot of players. Now, if he could just stop sucking then I'd like him a whole heck of a lot more. Yes, most of my dislike stems from the fact that he stinks like hot garbage. Still, it irks me when someone so terrible showbaots when he finally does something worthwile. It seems like he's trying to stick it to the boo-ers. The bat flip? I don't think it's showboating. He does it after every single home run. It's just his routine at this point.
