Look out   Mets got their Joey

If Joey ever ends up managing, will the Coras be the first brothers to both manage?!

Can;t do that, but they could be the first two caught cheating.

Agree? Disagree?

Sure.

What's the question exactly?

Do you agree with the author's assessments of individual's chances of the various active MLB players' getting elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame?!

Second question: Was it really that tough for you to decipher what I was asking?!

The author doesnt really offer specific judgment.  Just categorizes.

I like Machado Harper and Kimbrel in addition to the guys they are calling locks for first ballot.

Of the guys they dont like because of doping or other...

add CANO add CRUZ if he gets to 500 HR add ALTUVE if he gets 1000 more hits

Greinke-Mussina comparison seems OK but not really.  Mike was consistent and for a longer time.   Zack G is an "I'll give it further thought" for me.

Good read: The year 2001 saw Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs, Roger Clemens go 20

So, this guy, who essentially only played a 1/2 a game each night, and who actually had a positive test for PEDs can get in the HALL, but the other guys, who never tested positive can't because they're suspected of using PEDs. Not to mention that he hung with known drug dealers back in the DR. Character and integrity? They only count some times.

Sure.

That makes sense.

And the Astros have a "championship".



 

Bud Selig is in. But Sosa, Bonds, and Clemens?

Fuck the HOF voters.

Fuck Cooperstown, the museum, MLB.


And fuck anyone who would support their votes and their abject subjectivity.

Ortiz first 5 seasons in MINN? 11.6 HRs per season. First 5 years in Fenway? 41.6 HRs per season.

Tested positive for PEDs.


If you don't think this guy cheated, you're a dope.

And this is the line you use that proves that you dope more than Ortiz and I combined.
