    ROFL *sigh* idiots Baker has faith in Neifi and Rusch too. I'm not holding my breath on any of em.

    Enough with the "Edmonds is a prick" discussion. Seriously. Stop it. Everyone. This goes for all threads...not just this one.

    Well I guess we'll see the result of the investigation, but I think the investigation is just a thinly disguised method to try to get Barry to retire, and to appease the fans and government. I don't think baseball wants Barry to break the HR record. But I think it's a moot point anyway, because like I said. I don't think any of them will get the necessary votes.

    Pete Rose would disagree. Pete Rose made deal that kept him out of the HOF, didn't he? I believe he did, but it was because he broke a baseball rule...so did Sosa, Bonds and McGwire. While it's not in the baseball rulebook, in 1991, Fay Vincent sent a memothat stated Pete Rose was scrutinzed for his behavior, why shouldn't these guys be scrutinized? Life isn't fair...these guys are not going to be treated "like everyone else". They enjoyed the fruits of their success from the illegal substance, they made their bed, and now they get to sleep in it. I don't feel sorry for them or feel that they are being wronged somehow for having to pay for the things they've done.

    Why do you believe secondhand accounts of illegally leaked grand jury testimony, but not firsthand accounts from an eyewitness/collaborator. Like I said, I'm not sure WHAT to believe. Personally, I'd let Bonds, McGwire, AND Sosa in the Hall of Fame. McGwire has been scrutinized plenty, and so has Bonds. I'm not sure what the Fox reporter was getting at. It's not like people haven't taken shots at McGwire. Well I'll agree with you on one thing....McGwire, Sosa and Bonds are all linked. Either they all go or none do. I say none. You say all. While I disagree, it's just a matter of interpreting the evidence and the what we want in an HOF inductee differently. What about the players who used amphetamines? You know, I'm honestly not sure. But Bonds, McGwire and Sosa are a little bit victims of their own success here. The 3 of them were so successful, that the spotlight shines more brightly on them than others. None of them have confessed or apologized, but have made excuses and dodged direct answers. There's some PR involved in getting a HOF election, and the 3 of them have played that game poorly. Not only do I think those 3 shouldn't be in there, but I don't think they WILL be. I think this is an opportunity for the baseball writers to flex their muscles and keep these guys out. I also don't think Giambi or Palmerio should make it.

    Did anyone suggest that a pitcher throw at his head? Agreed...that's out of line. Wouldn't mind a toss behind the back though... Whoops...it slipped... :P

    Jacque Jones flipped his bat after his first homer/hit...and I'm pretty sure there were quite a few on this board that called him out for it being out of line.

    I assume you're talking to Vance? I'm talking to everyone. That includes Vance, yes.

    Surely there are better ways to discuss this chat than to determine the criteria for what does, and does not constitute "prick-like" behavior. If there is not a better way for you to discuss it, then please feel free to not post your thoughts in this thread any further.

    The shoutout was around 9:30 or so...it was the same inning Len plugged the WGN blog and the Podcasts. The shoutout initially crashed the site for about 15 min or so, but then about the 7th inning or so, the site died for the night.

    Looked like Neifi hesistated coming down the line for some inexplicable reason.
  16. Banedon
    I'll take it!
  17. Banedon
    lol

    Oh man...Neifury up with a chance to "save" the Cubs!
  19. Banedon
    woot!
  20. Banedon
    It'd be nice if JJ got his swing going.
  21. Banedon
    ooooh...The Shield theme music.
  22. Banedon
    I'd like to get a couple runs here and let Z have a shot at a win. He's had a high pitch count, but he's kept his head tonight and pitched well enough that he should be in line for a win.
  23. Banedon
    lol...Heff at the game with 3 blondes...what a guy...
  24. Banedon
    Heff!
  25. Banedon
    See I doubt they would "announce" that...I think they may just quietly shop around. Perhaps Cuban gets the sense that's gonna happen and this is him getting his name out there?
