  1. I don't feel any emotion really.....weird. Not even worth getting mad about anymore.
  2. http://www.snappedshot.com/uploads/Protests/capt.198d9469b59c4ac0b582121b6d0312df.pakistan_rushdie_knighthood_lhr104.jpg
  3. No kidding. THere is no doubt that Rose is a Douchebag, but it's absolutely criminal that he is not in the HOF because of betting on baseball and yet Ty Cobb is in the HOF. Cobb and Rose both deserve a place. Cobb made Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson look like Mary-Kate & Ashley when he went on his rampages in the stands and against fellow players.
  4. "Soccer? Why would I do that? I don't even know her." har-har
  5. Word. In my opinion, He was the bridge between black America and the majors....not Jackie, not Doby, but O'Neill via his goodwill.
  6. If they want to accept, fine. If they don't, fine. I just don't see what harm could come from further exposure of the Negro Leagues.
  7. That was an ENORMOUS shame that he passed away without being a Hall of Famer. Hell Yes. 1st in Hits 1st in Games Played 1st in AB's 2nd in 2B's 5th in Runs Considering the character of the guy who's records he beat....Pete should be in.
  8. In 1974, 27 percent of major leaguers were black. According to the census records of 1973, 11 percent of Americans were black. In 2006, 8 percent of major leaguers were black, while they made up 12 percent of the population. There's no doubt that on the personal level, people suffered financially and emotionally due to the racial separation of the leagues. However, it doesn't seem to appear that the existence of the Negro League hurt black athletes in the long run. The Negro Leagues were a huge draw back in the 40's and 50's. The Washington Grays had twice the attendance that the Senators had. The existence of the Negro Leagues has nothing to do with the state of black ballplayers today. Thus, I'm not sure anything needs to be "evened out" as regards the Negro Leagues.
  9. Why? No one running the MLB today was involved in any way with the enforcement of segregation via the Negro Leagues. I used to volunteer at a Vets Home and if there was ever a group of Americans that had more animosity toward another group of people, it'd probably be the Pacific veterans of WWII. However, in their old age most of them have lightened up a good deal and it was rare to find a veteran who still held grudges.
  10. GREAT IDEA! http://www.theledger.com/article/20070624/NEWS/706240497/1002/SPORTS Sign them to MLB contracts so they can at least say that they were "Major Leaguers" before they pass away. Love it. What do y'all think?
  11. Hawk and DJ lamenting how crappy their team is....beautiful.
  12. "I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS IN MY CAREER!!!" http://www.whiterose.org/pete/blog/images/swaggart.jpeg
  13. After they zoomed in on the play, Hawk was silent for about 20 seconds. http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/1/0/n/U/moran.jpg
  14. "DARN RIGHT THIS'LL BE TURNED OVER UNDER PROTEST!!!!!!!!!!" - Hawk http://outhouserag.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/redneck.JPG
