I feel like he's a cheater and, even worse, he's shameless about it.

Why do you root for him?

Don't like him. But, I praise him for separating himself from the Cubs organization and am not surprised that, subsequently, he is having success.

I've got nothing against the guy, and I'm not sure why other people do. He doesn't have Bonds' attitude, and we have less evidence against him than McGwire. The worst things are he used to be a Cub and got caught with a corked bat. as far as numbers go, most everything I've read suggests cork doesn't help. He tried to cheat, but he joins an illustrious group of players in that respect. As far as being a former Cub, I don't care. I have no problem with Derek Lee or Aramis Ramirez today.

when cubs are cubs I hate them but when they become former cubs I tolerate them.

I guess success is subjective:

Code: Select all

 Year Ag Tm  Lg  G   AB    R    H   2B 3B  HR  RBI  SB CS  BB  SO   BA   OBP   SLG *OPS+  TB   SH  SF IBB HBP GDP
 2005 36 BAL AL 102  380   39   84  15  1  14   45   1  1  39  84  .221  .295  .376   82  143   0   3   3   2  15
 2007 38 TEX AL  11   44    5    9   1  0   3   10   0  0   1   9  .205  .222  .432   75   19   0   0   0   0   1
My apologies in advance if you are joking and I didn't pick up on it.

I still dislike him, for reasons other than baseball.
