Team Temper Tantrum

[Valadius]

With Jeff Kent and Milton Bradley going head-to-head in Los Angeles, I thought I should take the time now, having thought of doing this for a while, to assemble an all-star team of whiners, hotheads, and malcontents. I'd appreciate any and all help. This is for active major leaguers.

SS - Julio Lugo
3B - Scott Spiezio
LF - Barry Bonds

Jeff Weaver is quite the baby.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I would put Dennis Cook in the pen. I'd want that hothead on my side in any fight.

[Guest silverdsl]

Sidney Ponson might be considered a whining, hothead of a pitcher.

Can anyone remind me what I-Rod did to make this team?

[Valadius]

Unfortunately, Dennis Cook is out of the majors, and thus is ineligible.

[Guest Beenso]

Ponson is a good call, anyone that knocks out a judge should be the number 1 starter on this squad.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

No team of whiners is complete without Brad Penny.

Jim Edmonds needs a job.

Clemens is quite the cowardly fruitcake.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Sorry - I didn't notice that they had to be active players. My bad.

[Valadius]

I-Rod gripes about his contract all the time. After winning the World Series in '03 , he played the Marlins out in getting his contract with Detroit, and now wants to rework his deal for more money.

[DocTee]

Kyle Farnsworth should be captain.

[Guest Beenso]

wow, that is an abnormally large avatar

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Hail Doc Tee on his Sacred Seaver Post.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hail -- and good call on Farnsworth

[Valadius]

HAIL!!!!!!!

[metirish]

Nope its a normal size avatar for the sacred Seaver post,post # 41, congrtas Doc Tee.

[Theoldmole]

It;s the sacred Seaver post, which you will get soon (and which I never got).

HAIL!

[MFS62]

Nor I.
HAIL!!

Back to topic. Since he's no longer active, then can we at least name the team in honor of Paul O'Neill?

And would it be possible to name Lou Piniella the manager?

Later

[Guest Beenso]

ah ha..that is very clever guys.....now i get it.

how about...

fuckin DIBBLE...

always hated him, he's not bad on his xm show though...i can listen to him..

[Guest Beenso]

Speaking of Brad Penny....

Check this one out...actually its pretty funny. Couple of my friends tried this, one threw up for hours....one almost crashed into a tree driving home...

HAIL

[DocTee]

C/1B-- Robert Fick (major league a**hole)

[Guest Rotblatt]

hail

Alomar on the bench? Spittting on an ump should merit a roster spot. Plus the way he dogged it for us.

Manny Ramirez, for deciding not to play at inopportune times.

[Valadius]

Alomar would have gotten a spot had he not retired during spring training.

[metirish]

The player has to be active, so no Alomar or Dibble.
Fick is a good pick, fucking prick, what about Furcal at SS, he's a whining wanker.

[Willets Point]

[Willets Point]

Jurassic Carl Everett.

[DocTee]

two managerial suggestions: Tony LaRussa and Lloyd McClendon

[Elster88]

How about Pryzinski? I'm 99.9% sure I spelled that wrong.

[DocTee]

good call. AJ is a total prick-inski

[DocTee]

Pierzynski:

1. refused to go over pre-game video with the starting pitcher (Brett Tomko) because he was in the midst of a card game

2. paid a teammate $100 for homering off same in preseason exhibition match

3. once, when victimized by a foul-tip to the groin, responded to SF Giants trainer Stan Conti's question "How does it feel?" By saying "like this"--while promptly squeezing the guy's nuts! (seriously)
