PED use: suspended 50 games. Dare give someone else an opportunity to influence a HOF vote: lifetime ban.
-
The sense of entitlement of baseball (and even former baseball) writers is astounding. Sanctimonious is right.
-
He's an entitled white pro ball player with two horrible lacrosse player first names for his first AND last name. I can't to see him be a monster to baseball, but the douche side is strong with this one. lol ok seriously, though, that couldn't be further form the truth by ALL accounts. Hey, N&G used cold hard facts to prove his theory, like the fact that his name sounds douchey and he's white. It's not like it's too far of a logical leap from there to assume he's also a douche.
-
Which I'm sure you'd be fine with as long as there's HD video of it, but the man gave a voice to the public, and the public (even the ironic, cynical public at Deadspin) did it better than the writers.
-
A team focused on creating turnovers and easy baskets doesn't often fare well against a team that is efficient offensively and doesn't turn the ball over.
-
Psh, just wait until Jozy transfers to Chivas.
-
Not to mention they were all voted in unanimously. By a completely different group of people (16 total). And yet is still a lame double standard.

And that's officially the first time I really thought about the Cubs system as a whole since the beginning of last year. Really something that Brett Jackson might not crack the top 30 in the system right now.

Seems only fitting that the official BBWAA email is bbwaa@aol.com
-
There was one blank vote submitted, and Bob Gurnink's ballot had only Morris on it. If both had simply abstained this year, Biggio is in.
-
Morris is off the ballot next year, finally.
-
If Jack Morris gets in, it'll be because of one game, which just goes to show the hypocrisy of the baseball writers.
-
Except Glavine won two CYA, and had really good postseason (especially WS) numbers, which counts more for some.

Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 14m My 10-man ballot, listed alphabetically: Bagwell, Biggio, Bonds, Clemens, Glavine, Maddux, Piazza, Schilling, Thomas, Trammell ... Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 13m Would have voted for these guys but ran out of room: Kent, Martinez, McGwire, Mussina, Palmeiro, Raines, Sosa (also listed alphabetically) Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 12m Of course, I don't actually have a HOF ballot. Apparently writing about baseball for 25 years doesn't make me a baseball writer.
-
Another MLB.com voter voted for Palmeiro because he "was a marvel before he got caught doping". But not Bonds or Clemens.

Neyer calls it the worst HOF ballot in history: http://www.baseballnation.com/2014/1/7/5284256/hall-fame-ballot-ken-gurnick-worst-ever-voting

I confused Lee Smith with Bruce Sutter. I'm not sure how I did that.
-
Don't really see why that's "meatballish" (God I hate that [expletive] term, it's gotten to the point of "hipster" around here). Either you think he deserves to be in or you don't. It's meatballish because it's an ignorant way to explain away why someone forgot he was that good. Like I said a couple posts up, Lee Smith was voted into the HOF recently, and I'd take at least 20 people from this ballot over him, as much as I liked him as a player.
-
Let's play a game. Assume you are a GM. How many players on this year's ballot would you have traded Lee Smith for in an instant? I count at least 20.
-
Deng finishes his Bulls career as the 4th leading scorer in Bulls history behind Jordan, Pippen, and Bob Love.
-
He was a better pitcher than Glavine, but nobody really noticed because he was on Orioles teams that weren't ever famous and he was by himself there. The "Hall of Very Good" crap is exactly the meatballish thought I expected from the voters.

$$$ Next year's recruits aren't going to pay themselves to go to Bama.

Illinois sneaks into the AP poll for the first and likely last time this season.
