    Thorn in Your Side

    You know those middle-of-the-pack players, probably never get an All-Star appearance, no one really considers them to be "good." Despite that, they still, for some weird reason, wear your team out. Basically, a player that sucks against every other team but yours. For example: James Loney. I saw some stat the other day, I don't remember it verbatim, but Loney has about the same, or more, home runs in Phoenix than he does at Dodger Stadium.

    The other end of the coin is Gerardo Parra. He's essentially the Dback's 4th outfielder, but he always seems to find a way to make game-changing plays against the Dodgers and therefore he's one of my least favorite players and the one I (irrationally) worry about the most whenever it's a Dodgers/Dbacks series. He's always making some diving catch or getting on base and stealing bases.

    Who's that guy against your team?

      Willie Harris and Rick Ankiel own the Braves.

            Bill Hall has more hits, runs, doubles, triples, home runs, and rbi against the Reds than against any other team.

              I would have said Josh Reddick against the orioles but he seems like he is really coming into his own on the Athletics so i can't consider him a middle of the pack guy.

                          The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
                          As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
                          If only I had died instead of you
                          O Absalom, my son, my son!"

                            I dont think he counts... He's young and can still get better. He's not a perennial scrub, knowwhatimean?

                              Don't have to be a scrub, just a middle of the road kinda guy. And Logan Morrison hasn't exactly been lighting it up since he came into the league.
