    Ricky B Ricky won't have any trouble when Ricky Henderson is eligible for induction during the year of Ricky's eligibilty. With Ripken, he was so out of the ordinary during his era. He was a offensive force at SS when SS's weren't any kind of offensive threat. I also think people blow the theory of "cal hurt his team by extending the streak" out of proportion. If he was available to play, why the heck would he not play? He was always the best option and he was always available. No one gives Gherig crap for his streak, right? I'm sure there were days when he wasnt 100% but he played anyway.

    maybe i'm a sell-out, but if DirecTV gets the rights, I'm switching. A free DVR and free programming along with the MLB package is too much to turn down. I told Dishnetwork that I was thinking of switching to DirecTV due to the free DVR and their recommendation was that I pay them $50 for one . . . . not. . . .gonna . . . . .happen.

    maybe this guy will be a contributing factor in restructuring how the HoF is determined. The current set up is a complete joke.

    this is why I beat my son when he throws a ball with his right hand. Okay, so I don't beat him, but since he shows 10 times more ability with the left hand, I encourage the use of the left hand / arm. A father has to look out for his retirement this day and age ;)

    What a dumbass. If he were standing in my living room, I'd kick him in the jimmy.

    My dad is just an average run of the mill baseball fan. He played a little bit as a youngster, but he could give a rat's ass about stats. He watches a game for the game itself. For the past few years, he's always making comments about certain players needing towork the count, take walks, etc etc etc. AS a matter of fact, he constantly talks about things that have sabremetric titles, yet he never utters the words VORP, OPS, or anything else like it. I'm way too dumb to do it, but maybe that's the angle the sabre-savvy writers should take. . . . talk about sabremetrics without talking about. Clear as mud, no?

    my 12 week old chihuahua should get a vote over Muskat. Her vote for the Hawk is the best thing I've read from her. Ever.

    he threw water coolers, too. Yet another reason to vote "yes" for Dawson in the HoF. When he got ejected, he got his money's worth.

    Other than 1998, this is by far my most favorite Jet season --- sure, there haven't been many "good" years, but this one is awesome. I don't care if they get blown out by NE. However, the Jets do match up well against the Pats. This was proven in the Jets W at Foxboro earlier in the year. The Jet defense should hold their own. My prediction is that the Jet offense can't get past the Pat Defense and the Jets lose by 7 to 10 points.

    i assumed Newhan was a reporter I never heard of. . . .I assumed it was a mystery player (to be revealed in the thread) that we had a good chance of getting.

    If the HoF building were as large as Greenland, I'd pee my pants with excitement. As of now, the HoF is about the size of my broom closet :( Just a thought, but what percentage of players do you guys think a HoF induction merits? 1% of all players. .. . 2%. . . 3%? I have no idea how many guys have played the game up to this season, but it might be a cool thing to figure out. . . . .. someone may have done and I just don't know about it.

    I've heard all the arguments against guys like Dawson, Rice, Murphy, etc. I think they're bull. I hear "it's the hall of fame, not the hall of very good." You're right, it is the Hall of Fame. However, since when is "fame" limited to the immortal type baseball gods like Ruth, Gherig, and Aaron? I look at it this way. When I go (back) to the HoF, I want to see the greatest players from my youth. I want to see their plaque. I want to see their memorbelia, etc. Dawson is definitely one of those guys. I don't give a rat's ass what his VORP, OPS, LMNOP, XYZ is. The pitchers that feared Dawson didn't give a crap about that either. In addition, inducting guys like Dawson and Rice would not take away a thing from the cream of the crop --- the Aaron's, Mantles, Mays, and Ruths of the hall. They're still the best. No one in their right mind would say otherwise. Regardless, the Hawk is one of baseballs all time greatest players ---- his peers would agree. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm all for a more liberal HoF voter. If I were a voter, I'd fill out the 10 spots as often as possible. This year, I'd vote for Gwynn, Ripken, Dawson, Rice, Gossage, T John, L Smith, Murphy, Blyleven, and Albert Belle.

    I'm a lifelong Jet fan and I'm shocked. . . shocked. . . SHOCKED! They have the talent of your basic pop warner team (on offense any way). . . defense is coming around. . . . but still, they are terrible. 9 wins? 9 friggin wins?

    Compared to "Ron Cey," "Jacques Jones" is a much bigger name. . . .twice as big, I'd guess.

    Well, he's done a 180. His attitude used to be that he'd never vote for any guy on the veteran's committee ballot because if they didn't get in from the writers there's no reason for them to get in now. Good for him.

    The all-time ML slump buster record means nothing? No way he's a hall of famer. All time great Cub, you betcha.

    I've peed on the interstate! Take that Dontrelle! However, I was smart enough to NOT DRIVE.

    Wait, I missed the press conference where Hendry said that he's 100% set on platooning Murton. Nevermind the fact that he's said nothing but good things about Murton and his playing time. Nevermind that it's not Hendry's job to set platoons --- I think it's Lou's. Let's wait and see how things work out before we cruicfy Hendry (again).

    i play guitar and GH's expert level is giving me some trouble. Medium and hard level was no problem at all.

    This is so true. If you don't take a break, your wrists and hands will hurt like a sonofagun.

    name one team in the NL that doesn't have a ton of "ifs.''
