Why is pierzynski hated

Chicago White Sox catcher A. Pierzynski knows he is not one of the most liked players on the road. He also knows he's one of the most unpopular players among his peers.

Basically, if you haven't got five years in the big leagues, he treats you like you're a peasant. He's that kind of guy. Not necessarily a ringing endorsement as a good teammate. Swisher, who has a reputation as being a good clubhouse guy, didn't get one either.

The reliever was voted as the player in the "worst physical shape. Not anymore, really. He could catch on somewhere else, and maybe baseball people don't dislike him as much as it seems like most fans do. The "Hate Sink" is a common television trope in which the writers of a show deliberately construct a character solely to be hated.

Since Pierzynski was designated for assignment on Wednesday, the Red Sox have won two games in a row -- both via punch-reveling walk offs. Of course, that isn't a direct result of Pierzynski's joblessness, but the Red Sox sure seem to be having a lot more fun without him.
