Anthony Rizzo - dont have one good reason. Only heard good things about him. Pisses. Me. TF. OFF. Kicks his but on his dumb little jog after the inning is over. Gets pegged in the hands on pitches that are legit strikes. Grade A tool. So many little things. Did I hate watching him win the World Series, yes. What did I hate more? Watching him stand on third with his hands on his face being a diva like “omg i can’t believe this is so dramatic bla bla bla”

Cubs fans: “he’s got a career .290 BA and .350 OBP”

Me: idgaf. Shut up

Andrew, you should have restricted frustrated White Sox fans hating everything Cubs.

John Paxson. I always thought he seemed like such

a goody two shoes and he bugged me. I think I called it right.

La Stella- I lost my mind when Joe started him at 3rd base in the 2015 Wild Card game. Coupled with him refusing to play in the minors. Good riddance.

SGCTC regrets the errors in this week’s newsletter. “Brake up” instead of break up is indefensible. Calling Trey Burton Tyler Burton is just strange.

Spelled Caratini wrong the second time unless you were making fun of me always saying his name wrong AND you spelled Schanowsky wrong the second time. C'mon!

Where do I start? At one point or another in every year I hate every single Chicago sports athlete. I recently drunkenly said if you gave me three free punches to the face to anyone in the entire WORLD, I would choose Kris Bryant, Joe Maddon, and Mitch Trubisky. Nobody that has ever wronged me, but those three were getting knuckle sandwiches from the Cack man. If I had to choose one person, though, it wouldn't be one of those three. I want Addison Russell's head on a spike. As if watching him swing and miss and throw his bat at an innocent child in the stands wasn't enough, the DV case was the cherry on top. What a fucking scumbag piece of shit. Him sucking at baseball got me going, but good God get that guy the fuck out of Chicago. Don't make innocent Iowans deal with that baby-faced asshole, either. Fuck that guy.

P.S - Ben Zobrist would be an easy choice for that screeching walk up song, but I'm not one to kick a man while he's down. And I could not be happier that I will never have to listen to that sorry excuse of a song ever again.

I hate Willson Contreras. I know he is a great ballplayer and if he were on the Sox I would like him. But since he is not, I think he is a loser who is far too cocky and not in a cool way like Baez or Anderson. Total BUM....he could learn from someone like AJ Pierzynski, all class!!

Jesus Rumoro! I think he is looking for unexplainable hates. You ,being one of those degenerate White Sox fans, hates everything Cub related. Very explainable.

Mitch Trubisky. Besides him looking like a moron at all times, he’s the most average ah in the league. He routinely misses throws and he has happy feet in the pocket. It doesn’t help that every bears fan has their head so far up his ass they can’t tell if it’s day or night. I’m going into the season open minded about him, but don’t mistaken, he will be on a short leash. BEAR DOWN

On second thought I’m changing mine to Jabari Parker. Couldn’t stand watching that sorry sack mope around the court on his 20 million dollar salary. You’d think he’d have a little home town pride.

Albert Almora. He has no business playing any games in CF this year. I probably haven’t seen him hit a ball past the infield all year and he has not been good at all defensively. Lastly, his hair is stupid and every time he hit dogs a catch in CF I want to punch him in the face. He should’ve been sent down to Iowa months ago.

According to FanGraphs, Almora has been a below average defender in two of the four years that he’s been in the big leagues. Common misconception amongst Cubs fans is that he’s irreplaceable in CF. To the left, to the left...

Joe Maddon. For no reason at all I want to punch him in the face whenever he puts on that "gather round and listen to my genius" look on his face.

Very surprising that you picked Joe Maddon. I thought you liked him.

This is an explainable hate as well!
