I was always a fan of The Riot. He was like a better hitting Barney.

the radio and bloggers have this wild hate for him. he was a guy, not the worst guy in the league not the best. I dont understand the hate unless its the stupidity hate over him going to the cardinals.

It wasn't going to the Cardinals that caused the turn on Theriot, but the various comments he made upon joining the Cardinals. I agree it is overblown, but it isn't just he signed with the Cardinals.

Because he fooled them to thinking he was a .315 BA Guy and they felt bitter..

are you talking about the "right side of rivalry" comments?

Yep, those comments were awful. I mean, look at a map, St. Louis is left of Chicago. That geographic inaccuracy was dumbfounding and highly offensive. :shifty:

I wasn't Theriot's biggest fan when he was here let alone as a Cardinal and when he made those comments. He was nothing more than a chick magnet tool.
