Okay, we all love the Orioles. But what player drove you nuts? what guy could you just not stand?

The guy who absolutely drove me nuts was Terry Matthews, I hated that guy. He was awful!

Runner up: Jeff Reboulet, he couldn't hit against anyone but of all people...Randy Johnson!

Brook Fordyce.

I remember hanging out in the bleachers before a game when I was about 13 and Fordyce caught a ball right around the warning track. I screamed, "Mr. Fordyce! Mr. Fordyce! Please! Please!" He looked up at me for a second. He then turned to a group of his friends sitting in the bleachers and tossed them a ball. A few minutes later, another ball came to him. I yelled, "Mr. Fordyce! Mr. Fordyce!" again. He looked at me again, but preceded to turn around and throw it back to the infield. What a jerk! From that point on, I just counted down the days until he left the O's. It's just sad the little effort that a professional athlete has to do to make a kids day and they can't even do that. :ohlord:

I always liked Jeff Reboulet. He wasn't that bad for a utility infielder and boy could he hit the sheet out of the Big Unit.

I'd probably say Tony Batista, just because he was so horrible and tried to teach other players to be as horrible as him.

Wow, I didn't realize how little hatred I have for former O's before this thread. You'd think, as bad as they've been for most of the last 25 years, that I'd have several on top of my list. I just don't, so I'll go with...

Brady Anderson. He was always a disappointment before he really started juicing. Then it became so obvious that he was a cheater, and cocky as hell, that I just stopped liking him. Sorry Cindy.

Sammy Sosa's a close second. I don't like Baez as a player, but I blame management for him and he seems like a good guy off the field.

EDIT: Those who said Steve Kline have a pretty strong case as well.

Mike Timlin. The worst in a long line of relievers who decided they can't pitch well for the O's.

I'm with ya. My initial name at the OH was derogatory towards Mr. Timlin...until Tony made me change it.

1. Timlin

2. Terry Matthews
